Room Integrity Testing

AlertONE provides room integrity testing for all types of enclosures, from server rooms to industrial complexes.

 For more challenging rooms, we also have the qualifications and equipment to conduct double fan testing, which can more accurately evaluate the integrity of a room. Our equipment and software are calibrated on a schedule that either meets or exceeds the standards.  Our testers are skilled at identifying the leaks within an enclosure and can make recommendations on repairs required to improve the room integrity. 

What is a Room Integrity Test?

The  primary objective of a Room Integrity Test is to determine the total leakage of a room. The results are used to evaluate whether a clean agent or CO2 suppression system will adequately protect the equipment within the enclosure. This test can be used to optimize room and suppression system design. In the event of a system discharge, significant pressure fluctuations are associated with the rapid release of clean agent into an enclosure.  These pressures can pose a structural risk to the room and equipment. The Room Integrity Test will determine the extent of these pressure fluctuations.The Room Integrity Test is accomplished by using specialized equipment to pressurize and depressurize an enclosure. This test is significantly more cost effective and environmentally friendly compared to a system discharge test of either clean agent or CO2.

Why do you need a room integrity test? 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard  2001, is the standard for the installation and maintenance of  clean agent fire extinguishing systems. It stipulates that all protected enclosures require a room integrity test to confirm system performance and evaluate enclosure pressure fluctuations.

A  room integrity test is also required each time a protected room is altered, modified or worked on.  The global industry best practice is to conduct a room integrity test on an annual basis. This ensures that the critical equipment within the room is adequately protected and the room  has not been inadvertently compromised.

System Leak Detection 

As part of our service, we can conduct an external inspection and leak test of your clean agent fire suppression cylinder and valve assemblies. We use the most sensitive equipment in the industry. This can be performed while we are on site to complete your room integrity test.

 Relief Vents for Peak Pressures

We provide solutions to  ensure that a specified maximum pressure within the room is not exceeded  as a result of a system discharge.  If required, we can make  arrangements to have pressure relief vents designed and installed.
