A room pressurization and integrity test is specially tailored to heavy industry and mining.
This test meets strict insurance requirements for periodic and pre-commissioning testing for fire suppression systems. Prevention of dust ingress to sensitive control system electronics in MCC and PCR rooms is critical for protection of machine controls.
A room pressurization and integrity test provides answers to the following questions:
- Where are the air leakages?
- What are the leakage rates?
- What are the fire suppression agent hold times?
- How do various extinguishing agents compare for hold time and leakage?
- Does the room meet NFPA and ISO testing standards?
- Does the fire suppression system meet insurance requirements?
- What are the airflow rates (using the blower door method)?
