Ductwork, damper and fire damper inspection
Control dampers convert through the BMS. Fire dampers are life safety and their test is the law; and kitchen extract is already condition-based if you measure the grease instead of cleaning on a date.
What does a ductwork, damper and fire damper inspection involve?
Ductwork, damper and fire damper inspection checks: damper reaches commanded position (feedback), fire damper drops and resets, grease deposit thickness (microns) in kitchen extract. Observed by bMS position feedback for control dampers; drop test by a technician; deposit thickness gauge for kitchen extract. Fire and smoke dampers must be tested at intervals set by BS 9999 (annually) and NFPA 80 (every four years, or annually in healthcare); kitchen extract cleaning frequency is set by grease deposit measurement under TR19 and NFPA 96.
- Condition that replaces the interval
- Partly. Motorised dampers with position feedback can be exercised and checked by the BMS automatically; the fire and smoke damper drop test on its statutory interval, and kitchen extract cleaning by grease deposit thickness, need a person.
- Reading that proves it
- Damper reaches commanded position (feedback), fire damper drops and resets, grease deposit thickness (microns) in kitchen extract
- Why the interval stays
- Fire and smoke dampers must be tested at intervals set by BS 9999 (annually) and NFPA 80 (every four years, or annually in healthcare); kitchen extract cleaning frequency is set by grease deposit measurement under TR19 and NFPA 96.
- Evidence an auditor accepts
- Fire damper drop test record per damper with location and result, and the kitchen extract deposit measurement and clean certificate
- First move
- Number every fire damper on a drawing; a test record that cannot say which damper is a record of nothing.
