Duct Technologies Pressure Test & Air Tightness Class
Duct Technologies Pressure test & Air tightness class as set out in DW143 is a determination of how leaky your ductwork is. Leaky ducts can have a significant impact on energy consumption and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). A pressure test is carried out by blanking off sections of ductwork to create a constant pressure and using a measuring device to determine ductwork leakage in accordance with DW144.
We use a Panda 341 ductwork pressure testing rig which has been independently verified & collaborated.
Testing Professionals
All our staff have a wealth of experience covering sectors such as construction, healthcare, residential, engineering, pharmaceutical and office space.
Tests can be carried out in partial sections (usually 10%) or full ductwork installations.
All Duct Technology site works are overseen by our experienced contract management team and service delivery department.
The Importance of knowing the Air Tightness of your Duct Work
As the graph below shows the inefficiencies of leaky duct work.
Then there is the added issue of poor IAQ due to leaky duct work.
Once completed client receives a full report on
- Classification of ductwork
- Ductwork surface area
- Leakage rates
- Duration of pressure test
- Reporting of defects found
- Test certification & report
Should the ductwork fail to achieve the leakage requirements as specified, we have a variety of solutions including our AEROSEAL machine that can drastically reduce ductwork leakage by upto 95%
