Introduction
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for strength and air leakage of
rectangular ductwork. The objective is to establish the mechanical strength and leakage necessary to
verify the fitness for the intended service as installed ductwork.

Testing of leakage can be done on site, but testing of strength (deflection, bulging and caving) is
confined to laboratories and manufacturers premises.

4.4 Deflection of a joint

The joint under test according to Table 1 shall not deflect (cj) by more than 1/250 of its longest side
when subjected to maximum pressure rating for the duct classification or.

4.5 Bulging and/or caving

No wall of the duct under test according to Table 1 shall bulge and/or cave(s) by more than 3 % of its
width or 30 mm, whichever is the smaller value.

5 Testing

5.1 Test rig specification

Periodic calibration of the measurement system used in this test method according to manufacturer
specifications or to standardized quality insurance systems is required.

--`,,`,`,,````,``,,,`,`,,,,`,`,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
In any case the test rig shall comprise a pressure gauge and variable air flow supply. When strength
is tested the rig shall also comprise two supports which are at the same height as the reference level.

5.2 Leakage testing

5.2.1 Test object

Before commencing the test, the section to be tested shall be sealed off from the rest of the system.
In either case the area to be tested shall normally be at least 10 m2.

 EN 1507:2006 (E)

5.2.2 Test procedure

The section to be tested shall be subjected to test pressures, positive and negative, not lower than its
design operating pressure pdesign. The test pressure shall be maintained within ± 5 % of the specified
value for 5 min.

For laboratory testing, or when more information on ductwork performance is needed, the testing shall
be extended to several test pressures, at least 5 positive and 5 negative within a range of test
pressures up to and including the static pressure limits. In this case the time for stable pressure at
each measuring point may be lowered to 1 min.

5.2.3 Correction of leakage test result

The measured leakage flow rates shall be corrected if the temperature (t) and/or barometric pressure
(p) are different from standard conditions (+20 °C and 101 325 Pa) as follows:

293 p
qv = q measured x ×
273+t 101325

5.3 Strength testing

5.3.1 Test object

The test object shall consist of two sections of straight ductwork. The two section shall have a total
length of minimum 3,0 m. The ducts shall be placed with one joint halfway between the supports.

5.3.2 Test procedure

The section to be tested shall be subjected to a negative pressure not lower than its static pressure
limit (negative) according to Table 1. The test pressure shall be maintained within ±5 % of the
specified value for 5 min.

Measure the length of the duct to be tested and place the supports at the distances specified in 5.1
and Figure 5. Tighten the ends of the duct and connect the test fan and the pressure gauge.

5.3.3 Determination of deflection of a duct

Connect the duct to a test rig in accordance with 5.1 Figure 5. Start the air supply and regulate the
pressure to the test pressure appropriate to the tightness class (see Table 1). When steady state is
reached, measure the deflection (cd) (see 3.11).

5.3.4 Determination of deflection of a joint

Connect the duct to a test rig in accordance with 5.1 and Figure 5. Start the air supply and regulate
the pressure to the test pressure appropriate to the tightness class (see Table 1). When steady state
is reached, measure the deflection cj (see 3.12) by measuring the distance from the joint to the
corresponding reference plane, with and without pressure. Record the highest value of deflection.

5.3.5 Determination of bulging and/or caving

Connect the duct to a test rig in accordance with 5.1 and Figure 5. Apply the stated test pressure and
determine the bulging and caving (see 3.13) from evenness of each side of the duct by measuring the
distance from the external duct surface to the corresponding parallel reference plane based on the
position of the duct corner. The difference between the distances, with and without pressure, is the
bulging/caving of the side. Record the highest value of bulging/caving.
