Zero-airflow measurements before and after the test adjust measured dP to correct for any bias <br /> pressures detected (Wind,stack effect, etc). <br /> Pressurization airflow measurements Q are converted to volumetric standard airflows Qo of the inside air by <br /> correcting for temperature and barometric pressure. Likewise, depressurization test measurements are <br /> Page 3 1 12 <br />
