General product description

The test rig determines the permeability of joints, water tightness and the resistance to wind load on windows, French windows and facades. Besides sealing, panels and other exterior wall parts are tested on these characteristics as well.

As standard, measuring units and care units with a volume flow rate of 100 m³/h, 450 m³/h or 800 m³/h are available. The volume flow rate is already converted in standard conditions. The testing pressure can be regulated up to 2500 Pa.

All measuring values are collected and visualized by an integrated computer. The clamping substructures are equipped in different dimensions with an electrically adjustable crossbar, variable side frames from stainless steel and one of the ift developed quick acting systems. These allow an easy and quick setting of your individual test specimen.
