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

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
