Study on application and development of a movable smoke leakage test apparatus across building opening assemblies

Abstract

This study was intended to establish a mobile instrument for smoke control tests that is capable of controlling pressure and measuring flow rates. A basic chamber leak test and a leak test performed using a circular hole proved that the instrument proposed complied with CNS 15038. A steel door for building purpose was used as the experiment specimen. By referring to the results of previous experiments, it is proven that the test instrument proposed could provide the amount of leak through a door in a building. The structure of the instrument designed can be used as a reference for the set up of lab instrumentation.
