Ductwork Leakage Testers

Ductwork leakage testers help industrial manufacturers validate HVAC system integrity, reduce energy waste, and support compliance with project specifications. Purpose-built for commissioning and maintenance teams, these portable instruments apply controlled positive or negative pressure to duct sections to quantify leakage at defined test points. Automated calculations convert measured pressure and flow into leak rates, while guided workflows help standardize tests across sites and crews. Rugged housings, quick-connect fittings, and clear displays promote reliable operation in plant environments. With options for report templates and digital data export, teams can document results for audits, handover packages, and continuous improvement programs. The outcome is actionable insight into duct airtightness that helps protect product quality, maintain room pressurization strategies, and manage operating costs.

Precision duct leakage testing supports stable production conditions, energy performance, and long-term asset reliability. TSI ductwork leakage testers are designed for industrial HVAC commissioning, routine verification, and troubleshooting — helping teams quickly identify leaks, compare performance to project specifications, and document findings with confidence.

How the Instruments Help

  • Quantify Leakage: Apply controlled pressure (positive or negative) to a duct section and measure airflow to determine the leakage rate at target test points.
  • Support Standards and Specs: Guided workflows and user-defined test profiles help you test to project requirements and industry methods commonly referenced on industrial jobs.
  • Speed Up Commissioning: Intuitive interfaces, step-by-step prompts, and automated calculations reduce manual effort and help new technicians get up to speed.
  • Create Traceable Records: Onboard logging and report outputs enable teams to archive results for audits, warranty documentation, and continuous improvement.
  • Improve Uptime: Early identification of leakage supports stable pressurization and airflow delivery, which can help reduce unplanned rework and performance drift.

Built for Industrial Sites

  • Rugged, Portable Design: Durable housings and compact footprints help testers move safely between air-handling units, risers, and production areas.
  • Clear Displays and Prompts: Large, backlit interfaces provide visibility in mechanical rooms and low-light spaces.
  • Flexible Test Configurations: Accommodate positive or negative pressure testing and multiple flow ranges to match project needs.
  • Fast Setup: Quick-connect fittings, labeled ports, and optional accessories help teams get to first measurements quickly.

Data and Reporting

  • Automated Calculations: Convert pressure and flow readings into leakage rates with consistent, repeatable methods.
  • Digital Records: Time-stamped data, operator notes, and location tags support internal QA programs and customer handover packages.
  • Export Options: Move test data into spreadsheets, commissioning reports, or facility maintenance systems for broader analysis.

Use Cases Across Industrial Manufacturing

  • Commissioning New Ductwork: Validate airtightness prior to occupancy or production startup.
  • Periodic Quality Checks: Track leakage trends across facilities to prioritize maintenance and support energy goals.
  • Root-Cause Analysis: Correlate leakage with pressurization issues, room balance problems, or uncontrolled infiltration affecting process areas.

Why It Matters

  • Efficiency: Reducing leakage supports target airflow at lower fan energy.
  • Product Quality: Stable pressurization helps control contaminants and temperature/humidity in production zones.
  • Compliance: Documented testing supports contract requirements and internal standards.
