Test & Balance service including: Perform range ventilation system airside test & balance (non-certified). Adjust laminar airflow distribution system to provide laminar airflow (as best as possible given laminar airflow distribution system type, range architectural considerations, distance from back wall to firing line and range ventilation system design in general) and measure laminar airflow by taking three (3) measurements at each of the following elevations above the finished floor, 1’-0”, 2’-6”, 4’-0”, 5’-6” and 7’-0” per shooting position (15 total measurements). The adjustments and measurements should target the following criteria:

  • Average velocity over all shooting positions: 70 to 80 fpm
  • Average velocity over each shooting position: 50 to 100 fpm
  • All velocity measurements shall travel downrange: >0
