The air flow rate through a rock drill bit is measured while the drill bit is connected to a drill string. A tube of a manometer is inserted into a channel of the drill bit while an air flow is conducted through the drill string and channel, whereby the manometer measures a pressure of the air flow in the channel. From that measurement, a nominal air flow rate is calculated. The nominal air flow rate is corrected as a function of at least one parameter selected from: a difference between a temperature of air entering the drill bit and a temperature of air ambient to the drill bit, and a height of the drill bit above sea level.
