What is ISO 13350 - Performance testing of jet fans about?
ISO 13350 is an International Standard that discusses fans.
ISO 13350 deals with the determination of those technical characteristics needed to describe all aspects of the performance of jet fans as defined in ISO 13349.
The test procedures described in ISO 13350 relate to laboratory conditions. The measurement of performance under on-site conditions is not included.
Who is ISO 13350 - Performance testing of jet fans for?
ISO 13350 on performance testing of jet fans is useful for:
- Jet fan manufacturing companies
- Ventilator, fan and air-conditioner manufacturers
- Product design engineers
- Quality control and testing authorities
Why should you use ISO 13350 - Performance testing of jet fans?
The use of the so-called jet fan to assist in the control of quality of air in vehicle and train tunnels has become increasingly popular. Longitudinal methods of ventilation can show advantages in both capital cost and running cost compared to alternative systems. Smoke and pollution control in emergency conditions can be readily provided. Jet fans can also be used for ventilation and smoke control in enclosed car parks.
ISO 13350 provides a list of characteristics to be measured and test methods for the same.
In order that a jet fan be correctly applied and give satisfactory performance and reliability in service, it is necessary to determine a number of technical performance characteristics in addition to knowing the more obvious mechanical features, such as mass, overall dimensions, and installation dimensions.
If you are a manufacturer of jet fans, complying with ISO 13350 can ensure your products are fit for purpose.
