With different equipment comes different air pressure testing techniques for measurement. But are you sure if your procedures up to date? This article breaks down specifically what methods need to be implemented for different scenarios. These new steps in calculating
These new techniques cover testing for:
- Packaged equipment
- Total external static pressure
Though there may be some instances where you need to plot fan airflow, or the internal equipment pressure may drop. There's guidance on these two situations:
- When no pressure was taken at start up
- Internal pressure drop
How the static pressure is depicted and benchmarked is critical to continuous improvement of your system. There will always be new innovative ways to conduct pressure tests, but will you be the one to incorporate them into your current practices?
