Personal safety and quality of finishes
The spray booth is a critical piece of equipment for protecting operators from the risks of inhaling solvent particles and vapors. Measuring air pressure, velocity, and flow rate is essential for verifying the effectiveness of its ventilation system.
A safe industrial work environment requires strict monitoring of ventilation and air filtration within these booths. Sauermann provides comprehensive measurement solutions to ensure precise control of air parameters, safeguarding both operator safety and the quality of work.

Cabin Ventilation
Cabin Ventilation
The NF EN 16985 standard establishes strict requirements for ventilation efficiency to help ensure the safety of paint booths. Propeller or hot-wire anemometers must offer the highest measurement accuracy, with sensitivity tailored to low air speeds.
A consistent, clean airflow must surround the operator to provide protection, and the airflow must remain steady. Additionally, air recycling is not permitted. Kimo Class 110 measuring instruments deliver the precision and reliability needed to monitor these critical parameters in paint booths.
LV 110 / 111 / 117
Le LV 110 / 111 / 117 Kimo fournit des mesures de vitesse et de température.
VT 110 / VT 115
Kimo’s VT 110 / 115 is perfect for measuring airflow, air velocity and temperature with its hot wire probe.
LV 130
The Kimo LV 130 precisely measures air velocity and ambient temperature with a rotating vane probe.
Target Values
Target Values
Horizontally ventilated cabins require an average air velocity of greater than 0.5 m/s (approximately 1.64 ft/s), with no measurement point falling below 0.4 m/s (approximately 1.31 ft/s). Vertical cabins must maintain an average air speed of at least 0.30 m/s (approximately 0.98 ft/s), measured 1 meter (3.28 feet) from the floor, with no point below 0.25 m/s (approximately 0.82 ft/s).
To accurately assess the average velocity, measurements must be taken at a minimum of 9 points, evenly distributed across the grille’s cross-section. The final average velocity is calculated by averaging the velocities measured at each defined point, ensuring proper airflow distribution throughout the cabin.
AMI 310
L'AMI 310 Kimo mesure en simultané des paramètres tels que la pression, la température (Pt100 et thermocouple), l’humidité, la qualité d’air (CO/CO2), la vitesse d’air, le débit d’air (sondes à hélice et fil chaud), et la tachymétrie.
VT 210
Spécialement conçu pour le contrôle des systèmes de ventilation, le VT 210 permet de mesurer la vitesse et le débit d’air, ainsi que la température dans les conduits.
MP 210
Le micromanomètre MP 210 Kimo mesure la pression, la vitesse et le débit d’air, la température, la tachymétrie, les fuites de gaz et le monoxyde de carbone (jusqu’à 6 mesures simultanées).
Air Filtration
Air Filtration
Filtration of contaminated air is necessary to protect the immediate environment around paint booths. Differential pressure sensors continuously monitor the clogging of air filters, ensuring they are replaced at optimal preventive intervals.
The CP 25 liquid column manometer is specifically designed for visual monitoring of filter clogging in paint booths. An electronic sensor like the PST-12 also provides both visual and audio alarms in the event of filter saturation, while the CP 110 transmits its measurements to a monitoring system.
CP 25
Le manomètre à colonne de liquide inclinée CP 25 Kimo permet de mesurer les faibles variations de pression, dépression ou pression différentielle d'air ou de gaz. Il est spécialement conçu pour le contrôle du colmatage des filtres sur les cabines de peinture.
PST
Un manostat est un manomètre qui intègre dans son boîtier un interrupteur. À un niveau de pression donné, l’interrupteur active un contact électrique qui stoppe la machine sur laquelle le manostat est branché.
Le PST Kimo est utilisé pour contrôler la pression.
CP 110
Le CP 111 / 112 / 113 Kimo mesure la pression de -100/+100 Pa à -10 000/+10 000 Pa (selon les modèles).
Le CP 114 / 115 Kimo mesure la pression de -500/+500 mbar à -2000/+2000 mbar.
