Chapter 1, Problem 1.41P
Test code ASTM 558-13 allows for the comparison of the maximum potential air power available between vacuum cleaners when tested under the prescribed conditions. The test requires using at least three units for each make/model tested with the units obtained at random. Explain what might be a reasonable way to meet this requirement. Explain a possible reason for this requirement.
