Air Pressure Testing Ltd offers a complete range of technical Air Tightness
testing, Air Test, Thermographic
surveys and consultancy services to help clients gain compliance to Part
L.
Please use the links on the left to understand the services Air Pressure
Testing Ltd offers, from air tightness and smoke tests, to Acoustic Testing
and Thermographic surveys and various consultancy services.
If you have any specific requirements that are not detailed, please contact
us at info@airpressuretesting.net
we should be able to help whatever your query/question may be if you don’t
know the answer we usually do!
Note, Air Pressure Testing offers both Air Leakage & Acoustic Testing
and would be pleased to offer advice and help on how to comply with both
Air Tightness and Acoustic specifications
Room Integrity Testing
Enclosures protected by gaseous fire suppression systems should tested
for air-tightness upon commissioning of the system and annually thereafter.
This is critical to ensure that the system will work effectively when
activated; too much air-leakage will result in the concentration of the
fire suppressant agent falling too quickly.
Air Pressure Testing provide the necessary Room Integrity Testing to the
required NFPA 2001 or ISO 14520 methodologies.
We have extensive experience in testing all types and sizes of enclosure,
from server rooms in offices to hospital intensive care units . In each
case we carry out the necessary volumetric calculations prior to the test
and use calibrated Retrotec test fan systems along with laptops running
Retrotec CA2001 software to determine results immediately upon completion
of test.
In the event of a failed test result, we will locate and record the air
leakage sites using smoke-puffers if permitted. We subsequently provide
full reports, incorporating all necessary data test information and certification,
usually within a few days of the test. This will ensure that you have
all of the required information to undertake accurate remeadial works.

Air Pressure Testing’s Services Capabilities
In depth knowledge and experience helps Air Pressure Testing solve complex
air leakage problems qualifies Air Pressure Testing to specify envelope
seals at design stage that will have the necessary design life and be
fit for purpose. Various factors have to be taken into account including
requirements for thermal insulation, wind loading, adhesion, condensation
risk, fixings and so on. The overall plan layout and operational characteristics
of the building can also be looked at to ensure that the air tightness
requirements are met when the building is open and operational. Drawing
on our knowledge at the earliest stage is the most cost effective way
to ensure that the project complies with Part L and that the air tightness
works last for the design life.
Air Leakage Tests - carried out to ATTMA
TS1 & CIBSE TM23
Air Pressure Testing has very comprehensive resources for carrying out
air tests in the UK, in terms of air testing kit and staff. Air Pressure
Testing can supply a range of fans to suit testing from the smallest dwellings
up to the largest commercial buildings. These are all operated by Air
Pressure Testing’s experienced site teams who have many years experience
of air tightness testing and related works. All Air Pressure Testing’s
works are carried out to ATTMA and CIBSE standards, which is a minimum
requirement for Part L 2006.
Our compact and portable fans are easy to set-up in sets of 1-3 and capable
of being used in very restricted areas, this has helped our many clients
in areas such as city centers etc. When doubled up these fan sets though
portable are still capable of testing buildings up to the largest distribution
centers.
All Air Pressure Testing’s air
test rigs come self contained with their door screens, each Air test
rig has its own smoke testing equipment, enabling the site team to investigate
potential problems there and then. All Air Pressure Testing’s air
leakage testers have good experience of air sealing, they are particularly
adept at finding where buildings have problems which potentially reduces
costs due to not having to pre-book and pay for smoke tests that may not
be required.
All Air Pressure Testing’s fan units can both pressurise and depressurise
buildings, helping enormously in locating air leakage paths.
Air Pressure Testing’s Thermographic surveys can be undertaken whilst
a building is depressurised this helps identify where air tightness needs
improving. Air Pressure Testing will forward the survey results in a clear
easy to follow format allowing you to undertake what ever remedial action
is necessary.
