2. With the unit operating, time the smallest dial on the
meter for one complete revolution. If this is a 2 cubic
foot dial, divide the seconds by 2; if it is a 1 cubic foot
dial, use the seconds as is. This gives the seconds
per cubic foot of gas being delivered to the unit.

FOOT
EXAMPLE: Natural gas with a heating value of 1000 BTU
per cubic foot and 34 seconds per cubic foot as determined
Input = 1000 x 3600 / 34 = 106,000 BTU per Hour.

sure all pilot burners are operating.
Main Burner Flame Check
Check the temperature rise through the unit by placing
thermometers in supply and return air registers as close
to the unit as possible. Thermometers must not be able to
sample temperature directly from the unit heat exchangers,
or false readings could be obtained.
1. All registers must be open; all duct dampers must be
unit operated for 15 minutes before taking readings.
2. The temperature rise must be within the range speci-
With a properly designed system, the proper amount of
temperature rise will normally be obtained when the unit
is operated at rated input with the recommended blower
speed.
If the correct amount of temperature rise is not obtained,
it may be necessary to change the blower speed. A high-
er blower speed will lower the temperature rise. A slower
blower speed will increase the temperature rise.
The total external static pressure must be checked on this
