2.1  Intended use

The Feltest AirSpeed/2 is intended to measure the airflow through a
press felt over an Uhle box on running paper machines. The instrument
may not to be used on any other object, like for example dryer screens
or conveyor belts. 

2.2  Safety precautions

Running paper machines can be very dangerous! Therefore it is very
important to read this manual and its safety instructions before 
operating the Feltest AirSpeed/2.

•  Before using the instrument, read this

manual carefully, it contains important saf-
ety information. If you not fully understand
this manual, please contact Feltest
Equipment bv for more information.
Keep this manual where the operator can
easily find it. 

•  Use the instrument as intended and 

according to this manual. Do not measure 
the airflow through forming fabrics or dryer 
fabrics on running paper machines. 

•  Be aware of the danger of rotating machi-

ne parts. Do not make measurements
close to in-going nips. You or the instru-
ment could be grabbed into the machine,
which can result in severe life threatening
injuries and very costly damages.  

•  Do not measure press felts with holes 

or damaged edges. Before starting your
measurements, check with the staff of the
paper machine if holes or damaged edges
