Pressure Test, based in Wokingham in the south of England conducts room integrity testing for any organisation that uses a gaseous fire suppression system. Enclosures that are protected by Gas suppression systems should be tested to establish their ability to contain the suppressing agent. This should have been completed upon commissioning and should be conducted annually, this is stipulated in the design standards and most insurance companies now also demand this.
This is critical to ensure that the suppression systems will work effectively upon activation, it is known that excessive air leakage will cause a loss of the extinguishing agent, if excessive, this could result in the concentration falling to a level unable to extinguish a fire condition, rendering the fire system ineffective.

Here at Pressure Test, we have a team of fire protection engineers / consultants who cover Wokingham, Berkshire and the rest of the UK. We can help and advise on the suitability of the chosen fire suppression system for your property. Clients often have a fire suppression system fitted only to find that the enclosure into which it discharges is unable to retain the gas.
When a gaseous system is used, a pre-designated quantity of agent is discharged into an enclosure, this will displace the existing air and replace it with agent at a concentration that will extinguish a fire condition, knowing the concentration is essential to ensure safety factors are met and that adequate suppression occurs.
On occasions an enclosure fails to satisfy the integrity test requirements, either by yielding a retention time that falls short of the required 10 minutes, by not achieving an adequate concentration (making suppression questionable) or if it doesn't have an adequate pressure relief facility this could disrupt suppression capabilities ("distribution of the agent" or worse still damage the structure which could cause excessive agent loss) any of these are an issue which needs to be resolved.

Fantastic company, The guy I spoke to Andy, was very helpful and knowledgeable in his field, This prompted me to commission them to undertake the work on several buildings that our company manage.
The team were a pleasure to deal with, arrived promptly and talked me through the process and what tests they would be carrying out on that day. The test came back quickly and we are now fully compliant with current regulations. I would certainly recommend this company and will use again when I need assistance in this area again.
