1 Visual Inspection
Inspect the exterior of the balance blade damper for any signs of
damage, corrosion, or wear
Check for any visible leaks, cracks, or rust on the damper
Ensure that all connections and fittings are properly secured
2 Blade Movement
Test the movement of the damper blades to ensure they open and
close smoothly
Verify that the blades are properly aligned and free from
obstructions
Check for any sticking or binding during blade movement
3 Airflow Control
Test the airflow control capabilities of the damper
Verify that it can regulate airflow accurately within the specified
range
Record airflow measurements at various damper positions
4 Sealing Performance
Inspect the sealing surfaces of the damper blades and frame for any
signs of wear or damage
Verify that the damper provides a tight seal when closed to prevent
air leakage
