Determination of Extinguishing Gas Holding Times With BlowerDoor FireProtection

In addition, every new customer receives a free sample measurement and can thus familiarize themselves with the free and intuitively operable program. Further features are, for example, the integration of calibration certificates into the test report as well as an extensive data and user administration for the needs-based mapping of company-specific workflows.

Fire safety is one of the areas where the use of BlowerDoor measurements is increasingly gaining in importance. In general, it is server rooms that are measured, where in the case of fire, this is quenched by special extinction gases. High-quality technology can thus be protected against damage from sprinkling or fire water. A prerequisite for the fire protection through extinction gases is an airtight room envelope. With the Minneapolis BlowerDoor measuring system and the FireProtection software, you can easily and accurately determine extinction gas holding times in rooms of angular volume.

The measurement procedure is based on the Door Fan Test. Using a BlowerDoor measurement system, the leakage location at constant pressure and the Door Fan Test are first performed with the TECTITE Express or TECLOG software. An air connection around the room to be measured is required for the fire protection measurement. The measurement data as well as the data of the subsequent Field Check Test are then read into the FireProtection software. The Field Check Test is another Door Fan Test with a defined additional leakage, which documents the correct setup and the proper function of the measuring system. Specific data such as the room height or the type of extinguishing gas used are entered directly into the FireProtection program. Based on the available data, the software calculates the holding time of the selected extinguishing gas.
