5.3.5.2

Inner measurement plane test procedure

Set the sash to the test sash opening. Position the sampling probe grid at one of the test positions. Turn on the test gas, adjust the flow rate to 2,0 l/min and allow it to stabilise. Measure and record the tracer gas (SF6) concentration for 360 s. Stop the injection of the test gas and analyse the data according to 5.3.6.1. Repeat the test at the same test position for two further times if the mean tracer gas (SF6) concentration exceeds a -8 volume fraction of 10 during the test period described in 5.3.6.1. Repeat the test procedure above for other test positions at the same test opening. Repeat the test procedure above for other test sash openings according to 4.4.2. 5.3.5.3

Outer measurement plane test procedure

Set the sash to the test sash opening. Turn on the test gas, adjust the flow rate to 4,5 l/min and allow it to stabilise. Measure and record the tracer gas (SF6) concentration for 780 s. After a period of 360 s close the sash to its minimum opening in (1

± 0,2) s.

After a further period of 240 s open the sash to the test sash opening in (1

± 0,2) s.

After a further period of 180 s, stop the injection of the test gas and analyse the data according to 5.3.6.2. -8

Repeat the test for further two times if the mean tracer gas (SF6) concentration exceeds a volume fraction of 10 for any of the test periods described in 5.3.6.2. Repeat the test procedure above for other test sash openings according to 4.4.2. 5.3.6 5.3.6.1

Data analysis and results Inner measurement plane data analyses and results

For each test position and test opening analyse the data as follows: Discard the data for the initial period of 59 s. Calculate the mean tracer gas (SF6) concentration 1 as volume fraction for the test period from 60 s to 360 s and round the result to the second decimal place. Calculate optionally the dimensionless inner measurement Containment Factor CF1 as follows:

CF1 = q (Q × ϕ1 )

where q is the flow rate of tracer gas (SF6) and Q is the fume cupboard extract flow rate. Round the CF1 value to the nearest integer and indicate if the result is limited by the detection limit of the instrument.

Test procedure

Close the fume cupboard sash(es) to its minimum sash opening. Turn on the tracer gas (SF6), switch on the test gas flow regulator and adjust the flow rate to result in the required tracer gas concentration in the duct. Measure and record the tracer gas (SF6) concentration. After 200 s stop the test gas. The tracer gas (SF6) concentration should now start to decay. Carry on with the measurement and recording of the tracer gas (SF6) concentration for a further period of at least 200 s.
