ÖNORM EN 1751

This European Standard specifies methods for the testing and rating of dampers and valves used in air distribution systems with pressure differences up to 2 000 Pa. The tests incorporated in this European Standard are: a) leakage past a closed damper or valve (for classification see Annex C); b) casing leakage (for classification see Annex C); c) flow rate/pressure requirement characteristics; d) torque: (see Annex A); e) thermal transmittance: (see Annex B). The acoustic testing of dampers and valves is not included in this European Standard. The tests specified above apply to the following: f) measurement of leakage past a closed damper or valve; g) measurement of casing leakage; h) determination of flow rate and pressure requirements; i) measurement of torque characteristics (see Annex A); j) measurement of thermal transfer characteristics to determine insulation properties (see Annex B).
