HVAC engineers and technicians require instruments for both laboratory work and fieldwork. Precision is more essential in the laboratory, where research and development are undertaken, than in the field, where acceptance and adjustment tests are con-ducted. This chapter describes the characteristics and uses of some of these instruments.
