Primary Testing:
Air Velocity
This test determines when air balance adjustments are required or HEPA filters are damaged and are in need of replacement.
HEPA Filter Test
The filter face and perimeter are completely checked for leakage. |
- Pressure Leak Test
All panels seams and joints are tested to assure cabinet integrity.
Smoke Induction Test
Smoke is introduced around the sash opening and observed for inward airflow.
Secondary Testing:
Electrical Safety
Lighting Intensity
Noise Level
Ultraviolet Lamp Intensity
Cabinet Decontamination:
When filters are changed or repairs are necessary, Air-Test eliminates hazardous biological agents and maximizes safety by thoroughly decontaminating the cabinet. To provide further safety, specially trained Air-Test personnel are employed to decontaminate cabinets used for chemical carcinogens.
