What tool is used for duct leakage or pressure testing?
Finish WorkVerified starter — V147 audit add-on
A duct pressurization/leakage test machine uses a fan and pressure sensor setup to prove leakage performance per the project test method.
Field checklist
- 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
Ask foreman
What leakage test setup, pressure, and pass/fail requirement are we using before I help test this duct?
Do not
Do not treat a random fan reading as passing; follow the required test standard, spec, and setup.
Why it matters
Finish work becomes visible, inspectable, and expensive when it is wrong. Ask before burying a finish problem.
