	Somewhere I have read that each fan manufacturer has its own specific K-value. I would very appreciate if somebody could explain what does the "specific K-value" stands of? Thanks in advance

	similani, the term "specific K-value" is not one that I know, could you give some context in which the term is used. Usually k is the ratio of specific heats when talking compressors.

	Dear guest, thank you for your intent to help. For better understanding of the context, please, refer to the paragraph 3 on the page 3 of the data sheet that you will find on this address http://en-co.wika.de/upload/DS_SP6904_GB_11612.pdf. This is a data sheet of the air flow meter that can be set to function with different models of fans and blowers. With regards similani

	Hi similani Interesting - I have looked at the information you sent and the answer from me is that I still do not know, but I will try to find out.

	Is it specific energy that what you mean??? If so then it is Kw/m3/min.

	Sure: <...each fan manufacturer...> can. Pick up the phone and ask. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
