MEASURING

DUCT

WORK

STATIC PRESSURE.

Equipment Needed: Save time by getting these tools before

you start: Hern number(s) 20 listed in Section 10.

CAUTIONS

High duct work static pressure may cause

low airflow resulting In poor heating performance and
reduced heat exchanger life. Low airflow may also cause
poor cooling performance.

A. Preparing to measure duct work static pressure.

1.

Open supply air registers and return air grilles. Make

sure the registers and grilles are free of obstruction
from rugs, carpets, drapes or furniture.

2.

Set balancing dampers in supply duct system.

3.

Check duct work for obstructions or leaks.

4.

Make sure fitters are clean and in place. See Section

17 for filter information,

5.

Make sure that blower speed taps are set for proper

heating ar^d cooling. Рог heating operation, initial
speed tap should be set in accordance with Figure
37B. For cooling operation, initial speed tap should
be set in accordance with Figure 38. Refer to Sec­

tion 24 for adjusting blower speed.

This table only gives initial speed tap settings for
installations with ductwork static pressure of 0.5”
W.C. figuring 400 CFM per ton of air conditioning.
Ductwork with higher than 0.5" W.C. static pressure
will cause reduced airflow and these speed tap set­
tings will not be correct. To determine correct speed

tap settings at ductwork static pressures above 0.5”

W.C., see Product Data Sheet.

FIGURE 38

B. Measuring duct work static pressure.

1.

Place slope gauge near furnace where level and

adjust scale to read 0.00 inches W.C.

2.

Insert one static pressure tap into supply air transi­

tion duct between furnace and cooling coil or in the

supply air plenum for heating only systems. Insert

other static pressure tap in return air plenum. See

Figure 39.
