What tool is used for duct leakage or pressure testing?
A duct pressurization/leakage test machine uses a fan and pressure sensor setup to prove leakage performance per the project test method.
Stop if
- What leakage test setup, pressure, and pass/fail requirement are we using before I help test this duct?
Watch out
- Do not treat a random fan reading as passing
- follow the required test standard, spec, and setup.
Check
- Verify test section and caps/blanks
- Confirm required pressure and allowable leakage
- Set up gauge/tubing correctly
- Check obvious leaks before formal test
- Coordinate with foreman/TAB/QC
Steps
