Pressure Drop

36” x 36” Damper

Leakage testing was conducted in accordance with AMCA 
Standard 500-D and is expressed as CFM per sq. ft. of 
damper face area. All data has been corrected to represent 

standard air at 0.075 lb/ft

(1.201 kg/m

Leakage

36” x 36” Damper

manufacturer’s printed application and performance data 
including pressure, velocity and temperature limitations 
shall be submitted for approval showing damper suitable 
for pressures to 2.5 in. wg (623 Pa), velocities to 2000 fpm 
(10.2m/s) and temperatures to 180°F (82ºC). Testing and 

ratings to be in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D. 

Basis of design is Greenheck model ES-40.

Performance data results from testing a 36” x  36” damper in 

accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D using Figure  5.7A 
(no duct either side). All data has been corrected to represent
