Which pressure belongs in the fan power calculation?

Use the fan pressure and efficiency on a consistent duty basis. Match the selected fan data and airflow units before comparing shaft demand with your entered rating.

Does leakage test pass rate describe leakage class?

No. Pass rate counts accepted tests. Leakage class uses measured airflow, tested surface area and test pressure; the separate comparison calculator covers those quantities.

Can a duct calculator select my acceptance limits?

Use the project specification and applicable test procedure to choose limits. The tools compare your inputs; they do not select a leakage class, test pressure or equipment rating.

Why can sealant orders exceed estimated consumption?

The order rounds up to complete packages. Enter the supplier coverage on the correct seam basis, your allowance and the actual usable package quantity.
