What’s in a TAB Kit? Breaking Down the Tools That Save You Time

When it comes to Test and Balance (TAB), speed and precision aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities. Whether you're balancing airflows in a hospital wing or validating HEPA filters in a cleanroom, the tools you bring to the jobsite define how quickly—and how accurately—you get the job done.

Evergreen Telemetry, we’ve spent years engineering and refining pre-configured TAB kits to solve the most common field problems. In this post, we’ll break down what’s inside a modern, wireless TAB kit, and how each component contributes to smoother workflows, faster data capture, and cleaner reports.

What Is a TAB Kit?

A TAB kit is a collection of pre-paired instruments and accessories used for testing and balancing HVAC systems. Instead of gathering tools piece by piece—or waiting on missing parts—the best TAB kits are built for plug-and-play fieldwork.

A fully equipped TAB kit includes tools for measuring:

• Air velocity and flow

• Static and differential pressure

• Temperature (supply/return)

• Humidity

• Water ΔT and flow (optional)

Each tool connects wirelessly to a central app, eliminating the need for wires, manual pairing, or constant calibration adjustments.

What’s Inside a Standard Evergreen TAB Kit?

Here’s a breakdown of the tools most commonly included in a ready-to-deploy Evergreen TAB Kit:

🔹 Wrist Reporter

Your command center. Worn on your wrist, this smart device lets you capture readings in real time, hands-free. Data is logged instantly and can be exported directly from the app.

🔹 Wireless Pressure Modules

Capture differential and static pressure without running hose lines across the room. Ideal for ceiling tile lifts, VAV box verification, and duct testing.

🔹 Temperature Probes

Measure supply, return, and ambient temps without fumbling with manual readouts. Fast-responding probes transmit data wirelessly to the Wrist Reporter.

🔹 Velocity Grid (with Wireless Sensor)

For fast and repeatable face velocity measurements—essential for fume hoods, HEPA filters, and cleanroom balancing.

🔹 Optional Add-Ons

Some kits also include:

• Humidity sensors

• Flow capture hoods

• Water testing gear (for ΔT and GPM validation)

All components come pre-paired, charged, and tested—ready to use out of the box.

Why It Saves You Time

No Setup Required – Open the case and start testing in under 60 seconds.

• Hands-Free Logging – Log readings without breaking stride or juggling gear.

• One App to Rule Them All – Capture, store, and export all your data from one place.

• Wireless Everything – Say goodbye to hose tangles, signal dropouts, and bulky meters.

With fewer wires, fewer steps, and fewer delays, TAB pros report 20–30% faster job times using our kits.

Who Uses TAB Kits?

• TAB Contractors (Local, Regional, National)

• Cleanroom Balancing Teams

• Commissioning Agents (Cx)

• HVAC Engineers and Calibration Labs

• Facility Maintenance Teams

Whether you’re in biotech, pharma, hospitals, schools, or office buildings—TAB kits are your shortcut to compliance and confidence.
