Default Measuring the CFM of a fan

I've done lots of air flow tests. A pitot tube hooked to a simple water
manometer is easy to do. One thing you need to know is that velocity
drops to near zero at the walls. The velocity profile across a duct is a
bell curve. The url that Artemus posted has an equation that seems to
take the velocity profile into account.
