5.2 METHODOLOGY
5.2.1 The techniques were used during the LEV inspection

i. Visualization
ii. Measurement within the system
5.2.2 Selection of testing points

For fume hood and canopy hood with individual suction fan, face velocities
were measured and where applicable and accessible, duct transport
velocities and static pressure measurements were carried out.
5.2.3 Types of testing

i. Hoods : Face/capture velocity and smoke tube test
ii. Duct : Static pressure and Total/velocity pressure
iii. Fan : Static pressure, Total/velocity pressure
iv. Air cleaner : Static pressure, Total/velocity pressure
v. Stack : Visual inspection
5.2.4 Testing procedures
i. A sketch of the LEV and its associated components was drawn indicating
the shape and position of the hood and location of fan/motor and air
cleaner.
ii. Visual inspection for suitability of hoods, connections between hoods and
ducts, obstruction of hoods, position of hoods and workers breathing
zones, denting, corrosions, damages to hoods, fans and air cleaners and
conditions of work areas.
iii. Smoke tube tests carried out at hoods, to determine the dispersion of
contaminants, effectiveness, capture distance and cross drafts on hood
performance.

5.2.5 Hood assessment and testing
Smoke tube tracer tests were conducted to evaluate the following:-
i. Dispersion of contaminants by blowing the smoke at the source of the

contaminants and observing the dispersion. Smoke tube will help to
identify the point where the initial velocity of contaminants away
from the hood is dissipated.
ii. To determine the effect of cross drafts on hood performance.
iii. To locate and study turbulence around openings, spillage and

leakage at the hood.
Hood face velocity test was carried out as follows:-
i. The opening was divided into 6 or more sections and measurement

of face velocities were carried out using the air velocity meter.
5.2.6 Duct performance test
i. Duct velocity pressure measurement

Duct velocity pressure measurements were taken at suitable points
along the duct to determine the transport velocity, volumetric flow
rate in the duct. Small holes of 3/8 inches diameter are drilled at
traverses across the diameter of duct at right angle to each other.
Whenever possible, the traverses are made at distance of 7.5
diameters or more downstream from any major air disturbance such as
an elbow, hood, branch entry etc. If measurements are made closer
to disturbances, the results will be considered subject to some doubts
and re-checked at as second location. Is agreement within 10% of the
two traverse is obtained, reasonable accuracy can be assumed
and the average of the two readings is used. A third location is
selected only if the variation exceeds 10% and the two airflows in the
best agreement is averaged and used as the result.
Velocity pressure was measured at various points over a number of

equal areas in the cross section of the duct. The average velocity
measured was used to determine the transport velocity at the point
of the duct.

ii. Duct static pressure test
Duct static pressure measurements points were similar to that of the

velocity pressure measurements. The measurement could be used to
measure performance and to diagnose any malfunction. The locations of
measurements chosen were at entries of branch into main duct, on each side of
air cleaners, on each side of fan and at several points along ducts. The actual
points chosen for measurements were indicated as in the relevant
appendices.
5.2.7 Air Cleaner
i. Determine the location of air cleaner or air pollution control system.
ii. Physical check and observation on air cleaner or air pollution control
system condition.
iii. Check differential pressure gauge reading (if available) to determine

the effectiveness of air cleaner or air pollution control system.
5.2.8 Fan testing
i. Determine the locations for static pressure of fan for testing.
ii. Determine the locations for inlet and outlet velocity pressure testing.
The fan rpm and the static/velocity pressure were measured before and
after the fan by using tachometer, Pitot tube and anemometer.
iii. Fan Static Pressure (FSP) calculation :

FSP = SP out – SP in – VP in
Where, FSP = Fan Static Pressure (inches Wg)

SP out = Fan outlet static pressure (inches Wg)
SP in = Fan inlet static pressure (inches Wg)
VP in = Fan inlet velocity pressure (inches Wg)
iv. Fan Total Pressure (FSP) calculation :

FTP = FSP + VP out
Where, FTP = Fan Total Pressure (inches Wg)

VP out = Fan inlet velocity pressure (inches Wg)

v. Fan Power (Brake Horsepower) calculation

Bhp = (Q x FTP)
(6356 x ME)
Where, Q = Flowrate in duct before fan (cfm)

FTP = Fan Total pressure (inches Wg)
ME = Mechanical Efficiency (0.65)
5.2.9 Stack
Physical Inspection:
i. To inspect the conditions of stacks from damages and blockages
ii. Observing the height of the stack. Minimum of 10 feet is sufficient for
dispersing and diluting of pollutant in the atmosphere.
iii. Measuring the stack diameter using measuring tape.
Static pressures (Sp) and Velocity pressures (Vp)
i. Measuring the stack Sp and Vp using manometer and pitot tube.
ii. The Vp is used to determine the air flow velocity in the stack.
iii. Traverse velocity of the duct were calculated as below:

V = 4005 √VP
Where, V in fpm and VP in inches water gauge (in Wg)

7.0 DISCUSSION
All testing and measurement was conducted at LEV system. The results of measured transport
velocities and capture / face velocities are compared with the recommended values
stipulated by ACGIH (ACGIH – Ind. Ventilation Manual).
In theory, the Total Pressure (TP) is the sum of Static Pressure (SP) and Velocity Pressure (VP).
TP = SP + VP
In actual condition, TP is equivalent to the sum of SP plus losses and VP. This is due to static
pressure losses.
TP = [SP + Loses] + VP
Below are some of the findings that require your attention.
PRODUCTION LABEL LINE
The transport velocity for the system was 2463 fpm and its shows that the transport velocity at
this system was above the ACGIH standard value.
• Site inspection conducted was found satisfactory.

• Air cleaner – no air cleaner found in this system.
• Fan – the physical of fan was in good condition.
• Stack – stack is 3 meter height above the roof.
CORONA DUCTING
this system was above the ACGIH standard value.
• Hood – Catch velocity for P1 was below from recommended standard value. However
P2 was in between the recommended ACGIH standard value.

• Motor – the motor was in good condition and found satisfactory.

WARM AIR DUCTING
this system was in between the ACGIH standard value.

• Motor – the motor was in good condition and found satisfactory.

8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems has been tested and from the airflow
measurements, visual assessment and other test conducted. The overall performance of the
system was found satisfactory. The duct velocity for Production Label Line, Corona Ducting
and Warm Air Ducting was above the ACGIH Standard. However, the management has to
consider the improvement as of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system by considering and
applying the following approach:
a. Propose to install a carbon filter before fan to ensure clean air exhaust to
environment complies with the requirement from the Department of Environment.
b. To plan and execute periodic maintenance and inspection schedule.
c. To execute monthly inspection to check any abnormal conditions.
d. To improve catch velocity at Corona Ducting Point 1 in order to meet the standard.
