Pressure test for ductwork
Pressure test for ductwork
(OP)
Could you pls kindly advise me for the pressure test for offshore duct work for AC spaces.
Our duct system is low pressure ductwork referred to the SMACNA.
Now our client ask us to do the pressure test for duct work.
We have experience for the smoke test but not for pressure test.
I would like to know it is necessary to do the pressure test, and if so how is the procedure and the testing pressure.
Thanks Alot

In any case, you have to trace the leaks once you roughly quantified the leakrate.

Once the system has been completed, then the real testing begins. Airflow is the primary performance that must be completed before all others can begin. Since air is the fluid that carries the heating or cooling throughout the building, its flow, temperatures, velocities, losses, gains, and enthalpy must be verified at many points throughout the system so it can be effectively diagnosed and performance rated.
