TIGHTNESS TEST
The “Enclosure Tightness Test” or “Door Fan Test”. This system makes it possible to accurately assess the tightness of the room to be protected from fire by means of a fixed extinguishing system due to total flooding with gaseous extinguishing agent.
Pressures are generated and air flow rates are measured with the help of calibrated fans. These measurements will become a variable that represents the sum of all the leaks present in the room.
During a real discharge of the extinguishing agent, assuming the conditions that would occur with the help of a software based on the mathematical models approved in the design standards, the process is simulated and the Stay Time of the extinguishing mixture in the room is estimated.
