OBJECTIVE
To lay down a procedure for the Duct Leakage Test
Duct leak testing is to find out actual quantity of air leaking out through duct system and
checkingthe same with standard leakage rate so as to confirm whether leakages in the
system are within limits.
SCOPE:
This SOP is applicable for checking Air leak rate from G. I. Ducting.
PROCEDURE:
The leak testing rig consist of a fan with fan motor, flow measuring arrangement, flow
adjusting ,arrangement & magnehelic guage / PLC Control panel
A] Testing using Analog Magnehelic Gauge & B] Using PLC Control Panel
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
a) Blower with motor and Volume control damper
b) Magnehelic Gauges
0 50 mmwc .. 1 No.
0 100 mmwc .. 1 No.
c) Flexible Duct

Refer table 1.1 and find out the actual Leakage through duct for the
corresponding values of Differential pressure.
3.11.1
3.11.1.1
3.11.1.2
Start the fan and adjust the flow so as to develop the static pressure in duct 25mm of wg or
as per requirement
3.11.1.3
3.11.1.4
Maintain the test for 10 - 15min and check that the leakage rate has not increased
3.11.1.5
3.11.1.6
If the leakages are above the permissible limits carryout rectification of leaks by
Tightening the duct joints properly with nut-bolts, change the sealant

Repeat the procedure till you get the leakages within permissible limits.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:-.
a) For 2 testing Pressure leak rate should be Less than or equal to
18.8 CFM / 100 Sqft Duct.
b) For 3 testing Pressure leak rate should be Less than or equal to
24.5 CFM / 100 Sqft Duct.
c) For 4 testing Pressure leak rate should be Less than or equal to
29.5 CFM / 100 Sqft Duct.
3.13
Prepare check sheet for duct leak test as per attached format.
