TSP - Static pressure readings in in. wg.
Throw - Horizontal distance in feet to reach terminal velocity, VT, of 50 FPM.
Throw 1 and Throw 2 indicates number of slots throwing each direction on 3-slot, 2-way diffuser.
NC - A one number evaluation of sound generation derived from sound power levels (re: 10-12 watts) less 10 db room absorption. (20) indicates less than 20 NC rating.
Data shown is for one diffuser. Additional diffusers will tend to increase the NC value by perhaps 2 db each, depending on size, air quantity and distance from other
diffusers. Return applications will add +2 db to all values shown. Performance data is based on tests performed in accordance with ADC 1062 GRD-84 Test Code.

TSP - Static pressure readings in in. wg.
Throw - Horizontal distance in feet to reach terminal velocity, VT, of 50 FPM.
Vertical throw values are based on standard 12" long down blow slot and 3/8"
width setting.
NC - A one number evaluation of sound generation derived from sound power
levels (re: 10-12 watts) less 8 db room absorption. (20) indicates less than 20 NC
rating. Data shown is for one diffuser. Additional diffusers will tend to increase
the NC value by perhaps 2 db each, depending on size, air quantity and distance
from other diffusers. Return applications will add +2 db to all valves shown.
Performance data is based on tests performed in accordance with ADC 1062
GRD-84 Test Code.
