Skot Nelson Retrotec's Field Calibration Plate for duct testing systems gives you an easy, five minute test to verify the accuracy of your duct testing system. Performing this test monthly will allow you to detect calibration problems early and fix them before they become serious. The field calibration plate is compatible with Retrotec's "Q32":http://www.retrotec.com/products/duct_testing_systems/q32_ductester/ and "R31":http://www.retrotec.com/products/duct_testing_systems/r31_economy_duct_tester/ duct testing systems. The field calibration plate is completely compatible with the Minneapolis Duct Blaster. h2. Detailed Duc-Tester Pressurization Field Calibration Check Procedure # Tape the Field Calibration Plate to the flex duct flange & attach the red tube. # Attach the flex-duct to the outlet side to pressurize the duct. Install the Mid flow ring. # Connect up as if you were testing a duct. # Set to “Flow @ 25 Pa”, time averaging to 8 seconds. Adjust the speed until PrA reads close to 25 Pa. Allow the flex duct to straighten out to its full length. # Wait for 30 seconds after fan speed stabilizes. The _depressurization test_ is the same as the pressurization test, except the flex-duct is mounted on the duc-tester inlet. If the measured flow of your duc-tester is less than 97 cfm _or_ greater than 106 cfm, our problems checklist will help you to determine a resolution. h2. Common Problems The "field calibration manual":maunal.pdf provides a detailed checklist for each of these common problems. |*Problem*|*Problem Frequency*|*Typical Error*|*Details*| |Wrong Range Configuration or Device|Constant|-80% to +400%|Setting the Digital Gauge to the wrong Range Config or Device is the most common error. Often occurs just after a change of Range or Device.| |Tubing Connections incorrect|Sometimes|20%|Especially for pressurizing houses and depressurizing ducts, tubes are hooked up incorrectly most of the time.| |Plugged tubes|Seldom|20% to 200%|Wide range of errors but not that common.| |Leaking tubes|Less Seldom|10% to 50%|Wide range of errors but not that common. Usually the pressure source will restore some leaked away air but if excessive, pressure indications will fall.| |Flex duct leaking|Slow degradation|1% to 25%|Very common but small. Always there to some degree. This procedure will identify a leaking duct so it may be patched with duct tape.| |Gauge channels read differently|Rare|1% to 20%|One of 2 channels reading differently. Uncommon but could be a big error. If both channels have an identical error, the effect on the result is negligible.| |Gauge won’t zero|Rare|1% to 5%|One of 2 channels reading differently. Uncommon but could be a big error. If both channels have an identical error, the effect on the result is negligible. It is the difference between the channels that causes the errors.| tag:www.retrotec.com,2007:/products//2.127 2007-04-12T20:34:31Z 2007-04-13T01:37:45Z

Skot Nelson Wild Wind Tamer design by "Sheltair":http://www.sheltair.com/ has four balanced tubes so each one has the same time constant. This wind tamer is useful in damping pressure fluctuations caused by heavier winds, up to 15 MPH. This design was developed from research performed at "Sheltair":http://www.sheltair.com/ which showed the older CGSB wind damping system did not work well in field tests because the shorter pressure legs would always dominate and the capacity tank would produce huge pressure swings when heated or cooled by the sun or from touching the tank. tag:www.retrotec.com,2007:/products//2.126 2007-04-12T20:33:25Z 2007-04-13T01:39:37Z
