Information Paper 5/95 Testing the performance of terminals for ventilation systems, chimneys and flues
Publication Year
1995
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Terminals are often fitted to chimneys, flues and ventilation exhausts specifically to increase air movement and prevent wind-induced flow-reversal. This paper discusses a testing procedure that establishes both the wind performance and flow resistance of free-standing terminals. It can be used as a basis for terminal manufacturers to test their designs, and the findings from such tests indicate which designs are most suited to particular applications.
