What to Check First

Ask Foreman

What approved test pressure and allowable leakage apply to this exact section, and who is authorizing the test?

Do Not Do This

Do not choose a pressure from memory, exceed the duct or equipment rating, or increase pressure to force a result.

Why This Matters

The wrong test pressure can damage the system or produce meaningless results.

Verify against: project leakage-test specification, approved test plan, equipment instructions.
