  • Page 17: Chapter 3 Performing A Duct Leakage Test

    Chapter 3 Performing a Duct Leakage Test The PAN300 duct leakage test system includes a Model PVM620 Micromanometer and a Model TA465-P Ventilation Meter. During duct leakage testing, the Model PVM620 Micromanometer measures the duct static pressure while the Model TA465-P Ventilation Meter measures the airflow rate.

  • Page 27: Appendix B Leakage Testing Standards Highlights

    Appendix B Leakage Testing Standards Highlights Different standards are used throughout the world to specify duct air tightness and leakage requirements. The PAN300 duct leakage test system has a duct leakage application to automatically compare the actual leakage flow with the maximum allowed leakage flow for EN and SMACNA standards.

    The scope of the standards listed above includes many items other than duct leakage. This summary, however, is limited to duct leakage testing. EU Standards Ductwork classification and maximum air leakage. Note that EN1507, EN12237 Eurovent 2/2 and DW/143 all have the same formula to determine f , the Air Leakage Limit, although DW/143 uses units of l/s/m...
