VIII. Make sure that there are no potential leaks as the light test is
performed.
IX. All concerned representatives must be present during light test.
X. Complete test report and obtain witness signature.
XI. Remove end covers after testing procedure and provide plastic film to
protect the duct from dust.
C) Pressure Test (Option 3)
I. Conventional leak testing is based on positive pressure mode analysis. It
involves in temporary plugs. In openings in a section of duct connecting
a blower and a flow meter to the specimen in such a manner that
pressurization specimen will cause all air escaping from the duct to pass
through the flow meter.
II. Select a test pressure not in excess of the pressure class rating of the
duct.
III. Calculate the allowable or allocated leakage using leakage factors
related to the duct area.
IV. Select a limited section of duct for which the estimated leakage will not
exceed the capacity test apparatus.
V. Connect the blower and flow meter to the duct section and provide
temporary seals at the ends of the ductwork.
VI. To prevent over pressurizing of the ducts, start the blower with the
variable inlet damper. Controlling pressure carefully, pressurize the duct
section to the required level.
VII. Read the flow meter and compare the leakage in cfm per square foot
with the allowable.
Inspect the pressurized duct and all connections between the flow
meter and the duct sensible leaks.
Depressurize; repair all audible and other significant leaks. If the
first pressurization develops the required test pressure level and
significant leak sites were not discovered, consider the following
alternatives divide the specimen being tested into smaller segment
use larger test apparatus.
Allow repaired seals to cure and retest until the leakage rate is
acceptable.
VIII. Complete test reports and obtain witness signature.
IX. Remove blanks and seals.
Verify that an adequate and matched electric power source is
available for the blower.
WORK METHOD STATEMENT
(WMS)
Leakage classes apply when the designer does not designate other limits and has
specified seal class 24 and 2” W.G.
Unsealed rectangular metal duct may follow leakage class 48.
Although seal class A or B might be assigned for lower pressures, the leakage class
achieved may not conform to those associated with the higher pressure. Other
construction details influence results.
WORK METHOD STATEMENT
(WMS)
Leakage class C (C1) is defined as being the leakage rate (CFM/100 S.F.) divided by P65
where P is the static pressure (in W.G.). When P is numerically equal to 1” the leakage
rate is C1.
The duct pressure classification is neither the fan static pressure nor the external static
pressure (on an HVAC unit) unless RG Punzalan the Design consultant has made such an
assignment in his Mechanical Layout. Unless construction class is otherwise specified, it
means a static operating pressure in the duct as follows.
In the above chart, “GUN” indicates the spring pressure setting on the ITW-G1 gap
gun. “-“indicates decreased spring pressure on the gun spindle. “+” indicates
increased spring pressure on the gun spindle resulting in greater velocity at the
instant the weld is made.
Using the stud welding machine, position the weld pistol with a fastener in the gun on
the work piece. The „Stud On Work“ LED will be lit. Depress to trigger on the welding
gun. In gap mode only, the „Foot On Work“ light will activate. Pull the trigger rapidly to
discharge the unit.
After the stud is welded, remove the gun from the stud by pulling the gun away
perpendicular to the work surface. The „Weld Complete“ light will activate momentarily
and the unit will recharge. Upon successful recharge, the „Ready“ light will turn on. An
interval of a maximum of 300mm is required for the welding on all sides.
Put duct tape on the Rockwool insulation joints.
