CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION
( First Revision)
o. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 31 December 1975, after the draft finalized by the
Functional Requirements h1- Buildings Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Due consideration should .be given to the ventilation ' requirements in
designing factories and industrial buildings. Provision for ventilation
becomes necessary for dilution of inside air to prevent vitiation · by causes,
such as body odours, to remove contaminants in air released during
. manufacturing processes and to maintain satisfactory thermal enviroments.
The application of ventilation should be considered with other measures to
control heat gi~en ' off during industrial processes. Ventilation by natu~l
meahs may not be sufficient in certain industries to provide such thermal
environments as will assist the maintenance of heat balance of the body
a nd to prevent acute discomfort and injury to the health of the · wcrkers.
In such cases mechanical ventilation .and cooling systems, where neces-
sary, may be employed to achieve satisfactory results. Some principles of
industria:l ventilation are dealt with in this code in order to give 'guidance
to those concerned in this field. In .the preparation of . this code, the
requirements of the Factories' Act and Rules thereunder have been taken
into consideration.
0.3 This standard covers ventilation of industrial buildings only and was
first published in 1965.. The present revision waS taken up with a view to
incorporate necessary provisions regarding control of heat hazards due to
various processes in the industry. Some of the significant changes made
are given in 0.3.1.
0.3.1 In this code certain new definitions have been aided. The range
of recommended capture velocities and_the provisions for orientation of
buildings have been included. The design considerations for ventilation,
provisions for mechankal vent~lation have been modified: The re.guire-
ments for ventilation of buildings, natural ventilation and positive ventila-
tion have also been modified. . :'.

o.~, The current practice in this country regarding the threshold limit
values for contaminants ( see 2.21 <lnd 4.5.1 ) is .to refer to the latest pub-
lication of the American conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement ofilthis
standard is com plied with, the final val ue, observed or calculated, express-
ing. the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with

2.22 Ventilation "\ Supply of outside air into, or the removal of inside
air from an encloseo. space.
2.23 Wet Bulb Temperature - The steady temperature finally given by
a thermometer having its bulb covered with gauze or muslin moistened with
distilled water and placed in an air stream of not less than 4·5 m/s.
·3. ORIENTATION OF BUILDINGS
3.1 Solar Load Factors - In the tropics orientation for mInImUm solar
load during summer should be the main criterion. Wherever appropriate,
orientation to avoid the solar heat during summer and to take the desir-
able ·heat during winter should be preferred.
3.1.1 Wherever possible suitable sun-breakers have to be provided to cut
off the incursion of direct sunlight to prevent heat radiation and to avoid
glare.
4. DESIGN CONSIDERATION
4.1 General - Ventilation is required to supply fresh air for respiration,
to dilute inside air to prevent vitiation by body odours, to remove any
contaminants in air and to provide such thermal environments as will
assist in the maintenance of heat balance of the body in order to prevent
discomfort and injury to health of the occupants.
4.1.1 Respiration - Supply of fresh air to provide oxygen for the human
body for\elimination of waste products and to 'maintain carbon dioxide
concentration in the air within safe limits rarely calls for special attention
as enough outside air for this purpose normally enters the areas of occu-
pancy through crevices and other openings.
4.1.2 Vitiation by Body Odours - Where no contaminants are to be
removed from air, the amount of fresh air required for dilution of inside
air to prevent vitiation by body odours, depends on the air space available
per person and the degree of physical activity; the amount of air decreases
as the air space per person increases, and it may vary from 20m3 to 30 m a
per person per hour. In rooms occupied by only a small number of person
such an air change will automatically be attained in cool weather by
normal leakage around windows and other openings and this may easily
be secured in warm weather by keeping the openings open.
4.1.2.1 Recommended values for air cJzanges - No standards have been
laid down under the Factories Act (1948), as regards the amount of fresh
air required per worker or the number .of air changes per hour. Section.
16 relating to overcrowding requires that at least 14 m' to 16 tn' of space
shall be provided for every worker and for the purpose of that section no
account shaH be taken of spaces in a work room which is more than 4'25 m
above the floor level.

4.1.2.2 The minimum fresh air required in a work room where there
are no contaminants to be removed from air, shall be such as to effect at
least three air changes per hour.
4.1.3 Heat BaianCl of Body - Specially in hot weather, when thermal
environment inside the room is worsened by heat given off by machinery,
occupants and other sources, the prime need for ventilation is to provide
such thermal environment as will assist the maintenance of heat balance of
the body in order to prevent discomfort and injury to health. Excess of
heat from a hot environment has to be offset to maintain normal body
temperature ( 37°C). Heat exchange of the human body with respect to
surroundings is determined by temperature and humidity gradient between
the skin and surroundings, and therefore depends on air temperature (dry
bulb temperature), relative humidity ( or wet bulb temperature), radia-
tion from the surroundings and air movement. The volume of outside
air to be calculated through the room is, therefore, governed by the
physical considerations of controlling the temperature, air distribution or
air movement.
4.1.3.1 Proper air movement and fresh Mr supply will reduce heat
stress by dissipating heat from body by evaporation of the sweat particu-
larly when relative humidity is high and the air temperature is below or
.near body temperature. Air movement and distribution may, however;
be achieved by recirculation of the inside and/or outside air.
4.1.3.2 In industrial buildings where workers wearing light clothing
are expected to do work of moderate severity with the energy expenditure
in the range 235 to 330 kcal/h, the maximum wet bulb temperature shall
not exceed 29°C and adequate air movement subject to a minimum of air
velocity of 30 m/min shall be provided; and in relation to the dry bulb
temperature, the wet bulb temperature of air in the work room as far as
practicahle, shall not exceed to that given in Table I.
4.2 Control of Heat - Although it is recognised that ventilation is one
of the most effective methods of controlling the thermal conditions in
factories. in many situations, the application of ventilation should be
preceded by and considered along with some of the following other methods
of control. This would facilitate better design of ventilation systems and
also reduce their cost.
4.2.1 Isolation - Sometimes it is possible to locate heat producing
equipment, such as furnaces in such a position as would expose only a
small number of work en to hot environments. As far as practicable
such sources of heat in factories should be isolated.
4.2.1.1 In situations where relatively few people are exposed to . severe
heat stress and their activities are confined to limited areas as in the case
of rolling mill operators and crane operators, it may be possible to enclose
the work areas and supply conditioned air to such enclosures.

DRY BULB MAXIMUM WET BULB

TEMPERATURE, °C TEMPERATURE,oC
30 29'0
35 28'5
40 28'0
45 27'5
50 27'0

NOTE I - The .limits indicated in the table are based on the upper safe limits
recommended in the report Thermal Stress on Textile Industry (Report No. 17 )
issueq. by the Chief Adviser Factories, Government of India, Ministry of .Labour and
Employment, New Delhi; these aFe limits beyond which the indu~try should not allow
the thermal conditions to go for more than one hour continuously. The limits are
baled on a series of studies conducted on Indian subjects in a psychrometric chamber
and on other data on heat casualties in earlier studies conducted in Kolar Gold Fields
and elsewhere.
NOTE 2 - Figures given in the table are not intended to cOllvey that human efficiency
at 50°C will remain the same as at 30·C provided appropriate wet bulb temperatures
are maintained. Efficiency decreases with rise in the dry bulb temperature for a
given wet bulb temperatures attained and efforts should be made to bring down the
dry bulb temperatures as well, as much as possible. Long exposures to temperature
of 50°C dry bulb/27·C wet bulb may prove dangerous.
NOTE.3 ~ Refrigeration or other method of cooling is recommended in all cases
where conditions would be worse than those shown in this table.

4.2.2 Insulation - A considerable portion of heat in many factories is

due to the solar ra.diation falling on the roof surfaces, which in turn
radiate heat inside the factories. In such situations, insulation of the roof
or providing a false ceiling or double roofing would be very effective in
controlling heat. Some reduction. can also be achieved by painting the
roof in heat reflective shades.
Hot· surfaces of equipments, such as pipes, vessels, etc in the factory
should also be insulated to reduce their surface temperature.
4.2.3 Substitution - Sometimes, it is possible to substitute a hot process
by a method that -involves application of localised or more efficiently
controlled method of heating~ Examples include induCtion hardening
instead of conventional heat treatment, cold rivetting or spot welding
instead of hot rivetting, etc.
4.2.4 Radiant Shielding-Hot surfaces, such as layers of molten metal ema·
nate radiant heat which can best be controlled by placing a shield having a

8

lighly reflecting surface between the source of heat and the worker so
:hat a major portion of the heat falling on the shield is reflected back to
,he source. Surfaces, 'Such as, of tin and aluminium have been used as
materials for shields. The efficiency of the shield does not depend on its
thic}{ness but on the reflectivity and emissivity of its surface. Care should
be taken to see that the shield is not heated up by conduction and for this
purpose adequate provision should be made for the free flow upwards of
the heated air between the hot surface and the shield by leaving the
necessary air space and providing opening at the top and the bottom of
the sides.
4.3 Ventilation of Buildings - In the case of an industrial building
having a significant internal heat load due to manufacturing processes, the
following items may be considered when designing for the maximum
possible control of thermal environment:
a) Orientation of the building with respect to the direction of the
prevailing winds and of the path of the sun in the sky and to the
location of adjoining buildings.
b) Configuration of the building and the manufacturing processes
in it.
c) Proper inlets (windows and other openings) and their location
with respect to outlet openings.
d) Mechanical ventilation including selection and disposition of fans,
inlet grilles and arrangement of ducts.
In the case of industrial buildings wider than 30 m, the ventilation
may be augmqlted by roof ventilation.
4.3.1 The volume of air required shall be calculated by u~ing both the
sensible heat or latent heat all the basis. The larger of the two figures
obtained should be used in actual practice.
4.3.1.1 Volume of air required for removing sensible heat when the
amount of sensible heat given off by different sources namely the sun, the
manufacturing processes machinery, occupants and other sources is known
and a suitable value for the allowable temperature rise is assumed, the
volume of outside air. to be provided for removing the sensible heat may
be calculated from:
3'462 X K.
Ql=---~-

where
Ql = quantity of air in m 3/h,
K. = sensible heat gained in kcal/h, and
t = allowable temperature rise in °e.

IS: 31~3 - 1975
4.3.1.2 Temperature rise refers mainly to the difference between the
air temperature!\ at the outside and at the inlet openings. As very little
data exist on allowable temperature-rise values for supply of outside air
in summer months, the values given in Table 2 rela.ted to industrial
buildings may be used for general guidance.

( Clallses 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.4 )

HEIGHT OF OUTLET TEMPERATURE RISE

OPENINGS

6 3 to 4'5
9 4'5 to 6'5
12 6'5 to 11

NOTE 1 - The conditions are limited to light or medium heavy manufacturing pro-
cesses, freedom from radiant heat and inlet openings not more than 3 to 4'5 m above
floor level.
NOTE 2 - At the working zone between Boor leVel and 1'5 m above Boor level the
recommended maximum allowable temperature rise for air is 2 to 3°e above th~ air
temperature' at the inlet openings,

4.3.1.3 Volume of ai( required for removing latent heat - If the latent
heat gained from the manufacturing proces~es and occupants is also
known and.a suitable value for the allowable rise in the vapour pressure
is assumed:

where
Q2 = quantity of air in m'/h,
kl = latent heat gained in k cal/h, and
h = allowab~e vapour pressure difference in mm of mercury.
NOTE - In majority of the casel the sensible heat gain will far exceed the latent
heat gain so that the amount of outside air to be drawn by ventilating equipment can
be calculated in mod cases on the basis of the equation given in 4.3.1.1.

4.3.1.4 Ventilation is also expressed as ma/h/m l of floor area. This

relationship fails to evaluate the actual ,heat relief provided by a ventila-
tion system, but it does give a relationship which is independent of build-
ing height. This is a more rational approach because, with the same
internal load, the same amount of ventilation air, properly applied to the
 UREAU UNDER THE LICENSE FROM BIS FOR ANDHRA PRADESH POWER GENERATION CORPORATION LTD. - VIJAYAWADA ON 1/1/2021 12:09:56 PM (10.

IS: 3103 - 1975
work zone with adequate velocity, will proVIde the desired heat relief
quite independently of the ceiling height of the space, with few exceptions.
Ventilation rates of 30 to 60 m 3/h/m l have been found to give good results
in mlmy plants.
4.3.2 Natural Ventilation - The rate of ventilation bv na.tural means
through windows or otht:r openings depends on: .
a) direction and velocity of wind outside and si7.e and disposition of
opening (wind action), and
b) convection effects arising from temperature or vapour pressure
difference (or both) between inside and outside the room and the
difference of height between the outlet and inlet openings · (stack
effect) .
4.3.2.1 J3..v wind action
a) Inlet openings in the building should be well distributed and
should be located on the windward side at a low level and outlet
openings 'should be located on the leeward side near the top so
that incoming air stream is passed over the occupants. Inlet and
outlet openings at high level may only clear the top air without
producing air movement at the level of occupancy. When outlets
serve as inlets, they shall be located a t the same level.
b) Inlet openings should not, as far as possible, be obstructed by
adjoining buildings, trees, signboards or other obstructions or by
inside partiti()ns in the path of air flow.
c) Greatest flow per unit area of openings is obtained by using inlet
and outlet openings of nearly equal areas.
d) Where 't he stream of wind is quite constant and dependable the
openings may be readily arranged to take full advantage of the
wind. Where the wind direction is quite variable, the openings
shall be arranged so that a's far .. as possible there is approximately
equal areas on all sides and the openings be located at the same
levels. Thus no matter what the wind direction is, there are
always some openings directly exposed to wind pressure and others
to air !\uction and effective movement through bl.ildings is assured.
4.3.2.2 By stack effect - Natural ventilation by stack effect occurs
when air inside a building is 'at a different temperature than air outside.
Thus in heated buildings or in buildings wherein hot processes are carried
on and in ordinary buildings during summer nights and during premon-
soon periods, the inside temperature is higher than that of outside, cool
outside air will tend to enter through openings at low level and · warm air
will tend to leave through openings at high level. It would, therefore, be
advantageous to provide ventilators as close to ceilings as possible. Venti-
lators 'can also be provided in roofs as, for- example, cowl, ventipipe,
covered roof and ridge vent.

4.3.3 Mech4nical Ventilation, General - Where adequate a.ir changes

specified in recommended values for air changes or for providing thermal
environment within the limits specified in Table I whichever is higher,
cannot be obtained by natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation either
by exhaust of air or by positive ventilation or combination of the two
shall be provided, and in case of positive ventilation where necessary, air
before being brought into the area of occupancy, may be cooled by
evaporative cooling or by air-conditioning.
4.3.3.1 Exhaust of air - Exhaust fans are provided in walls on one
side of the building or in the attic and roofs to draw large volumes of air
throl,lgh the building. These fans are usually of propeller type since they
operate against little or no resistance. It is important that windows and
other openings near the fans are kept closed as otherwise the fans would
draw outside air from these openings and cause what is termed as 'short-
circuiting'. Adequate inlet openings shall be provided on opposite side
of the building so as to .limit inlet velocities. When fans are centrally
located on an attic or other unused space and arranged to draw propor-
tionately from several work areas or from exhaust appliances with duct
work, these are predominantly centrifugal type or sometimes axial types
so as to overcome the resistance from duct work.
4.3.3.2 Positive ventilation - Positive ventilation is provided by
centrally located supply fans which are usually of centrifugal type having
a wide range of capacities and quiet operation. Considerable advantage
may be achieved by incorporating the ducts into the building structure
and by having the interior surfaces carefully finished to render them
smooth and air-tight and treated to prevent the possibility of dust being
scoured from the walls by the passing air. Unit ventilators may be pro-
vided for individual rooms and may be placed against outside wall near
the central line of the room. Both central system and unit ventilators
could be equipped to provide, besides the function of ventilating, cooling
by evaporative cooling coils. Typical installations are equipped with
systems of controls that permits ventilating and cooling effect to be varied,
while the fans are operating continuously, in accordance with the room
requirements.
4.3.3.3 Combined systems - The combined systems with positive
ventilation.and with exhaust of air have the advantage of providing better
control conditions and better distribution of air over the entire area of
occupancy particularly in wider buildings. By supplying proper volumes
of air at suitable velocities at the required areas through duct work anti
by extracting the air in the return. duds and recirculating this air after
properly mixing it with cool fresh air, completely satisfactory ventilation
is obtained. In a combined system it is preferable to provide slight
excess of exhaust if there are adjoining occupied spaces and a slight ~xcess
of supply if there are no such sp~ces. Unit exhaustors can also be used
to match unit ventilators' exteriors and located along the outside wall.

4.3.4 .fi:vaporative Cooling - In regions where high day-time temperatures

prevail with reasonably low humidities, evaporative cooling may be em-
ployed effectively to lower the temperature of the air to near- the wet bulb
temperature and produce an air supply cool enough to take care of the
indoor sensible heat loads without exceeding the upper safe limits given in
Table 1 'or the temperature rise values at area of occupancy given in Note 2
in Table 2. By positive ventilation this air may be supplied to produce
cooler environments with lower air volume than would be required
under 4.3.1.1. The amount of air required as greater temperature rise than
given under Table 2 may be tolerated. Although the relative humidity
of supply air will be increased but due to the large sensible heat loads the
resultant relative humidity of the air will be_ sufficiently lowered after
mixing ~ith the inside air to produce body cooling.
4.3.4.1 Evaporative cooling with positive ventilation using a central
plant consisting of a water spray chamber and a fan to supply outside air
into the work room through a distribution duct is far preferable to spray
head system which only humidifies the' air, the cooling capacity of the air
will be very little improved; and none of the air which absorbs the heat
given off by machinery, manufacturing processes and occupants, is
removed from the building under these conditions.
4.3.4.2 Evaporative cooling is generally used where -humidification _is
necessary to meet the requirements of manufacturing processes in ·factories,
as for instance, in a cotton mill to keep the textile fibres pliable and
strong in a rubber factory to prevent static electricity in processes using
volatile and inflammable solvents or in printing and lithographic works to
maintain accurately the size of the paper and other materials.
4.3.4.3 Where humidification or dehumidification is necessary to"meet
the requirements of manufacturing processes, the requirements shall be
ascertained from the clients. In respect of cotton spinning and weaving
factories, attention is drawn to the requirements regarding temperatures
and humidities under relevant rules framed by the State Government
under Section 15 of the Factories Act (1948).
4.3.5 Air-Conditioning - Where the desired temperatures and humidities
cannot be obtained by mere ventilation, air conditioning may be resorted
to (see IS: 659-1964* and IS : 660-1963t).
4.3~5.1 WheI\ refrigeration is employed to obtain desired temperature
inside a work room it may be necessary to circulate more air than that
required for ventilation purposes alone, and in that case, part of the air
may be recirculated to save refrigeration.

4.3.5.2 The proportion of recirculated air will depend on the circum-

stances but the quantity of fresh air taken in shall not be less than that laid
down under 4.1.2.1 or that required as make-up air to replace the air
exhausted for control of air contaminants (see 4.5) whichever is higher.
4.3.6 Fresh air shall be free from organic matter and deleterious
inorganic dust and fume, and should be drawn from areas where the air
is not likely to be polluted or vitiated; where necessary, the air should be
efficiently filtered.
4.4 Air Distribution - In providing ventilation, proper consideration
should be given to size and distribution of windows and other inlet open-
in?;s in relation to outlet openings arrangement of ducts and selection and
disposition of fans and air intake grilles so as to give, with due regard to
orientation, prevailing winds, configuration of the building and manufac-
turing processes carried on, maximum possible control of thermal environ-
ments in the work rooms. Air should be distributed evenly without dead
air pockets or undue draughts caused by high inlet velocities. When
ventilation is provided by infiltration due to exhaust of air, it is important
that windows and other openings near the fans are kept closed as other-
wise the fans would draw outside air from these openings and cause what
is termed 'short circuiting'.
4.4.1 Air Movement- The rate of air movement in the vicinity of
workers shall be such as to give reasonable comfort without objectionable
draughts. In general, velocity of air excess of 60 m/min should be
avoided unless the temperatures and humidities are high.
4.4.1.1 Where heavy manual work is performed by workers, a greater
degree of air, movement may be desirable depending upon the tempera-
ture and humidity of air. When the nature of the manufacturing pro-
cesses demands conditions of temperature and humidity which are above
the normal range of comfort, the question of rate of air movement requires
critical examination, particularly if the dry bulb temperature is above
that of body. If the air is capable of absorbing heat from the body a
blast of air up to 300 m/min may be directed at the workers for velocity
cooling.
4.5 VentUation for Control of Air Contauainants
4.5.1 Local Exhaust Ventilation - When in a .work room by reason of
manufacturing processes contaminants are given off, it shall be necessary
to provide an efficient local exhaust ventilation of the points at which the
contaminants are released to reduce their concentration in the working
area below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) (see 0.4). Such points shall,
as far as possible, be enclosed, but if it is necessary to have an access while
the manufacturing processes are carried on, the exhaust appliance shall

confine the contaminants as much as possible and openings for ac~ess shall
be located, wherever possible, away from the natural path of the contami-
nants travel.
4.5.1.1 When an exhaust appliance is provided to enclose the point
at which contaminants are released, the volume of air required is cal-
culated from the area of openings 'and the capture velocity sufficient to
prevent outward escapement. In other cases, the volume of air required
and pattern of air flow in front of the exhaust appliance shall be such that
the capture velocities necessary to overcome air currents and convey the
contmninants by causing the air recommended capture velocities are
listed .out in Table 3.

taminants with minimum possible static resistance consistent with the
economics of installation and operation. Fan shall be of such type and
size as to move the required volume of air and overcome the total resis-
tance of the local exhaust ventilation system. including the air cleaning
devices.
4.5.2 Dilution Ventilation - Dilution ventilation is employed to reduce
the concentration of contaminants in the working area below the Thres-
hold Limit Values (TLV) when the contaminants are oflow toxicity with
TLV ,above 100 ppm (parts per million by volume) and the quantity of
contaminants generated is not high (such as vapours given off by organic
solvents of low toxicity). However, dilution ventilation is not as satis-
factory for control of air contaminants as is local exhaust ventilation.

4.5.2.1 The exhaust outlets and the air supply inlets shall be so located
that air passes through the zone of contamination with the points at which
the contaminants are released between the worker and the exhaust outlets.
The workers should not stand too close to the zone where contaminants
are released.
4.5.2.2 If the rate of vapour generation of rate of liquid evapora.tion
is known, the dilution air requirements is calculated from:
Air required in mS/kg 24 X 10 6 X k
of evaporation
molecular weight of liquid X 7 LV
where
k = constant varying from 3 to 10 depending on soivent in
question, uniformity of air distribution, dilution of va pours
in air, location of exhaust plant and its proximity to
evolved vapours, and
TLV = Threshold Limit Value of the sol vent
4.5.3 Make-Up-Air- Sufficient make-up-air shall be brought into th('!
work room by natural infiltration or by positive ventilation at suitable
points in relation to the exhaust points to replace the air exhausted by
local exhaust ventilation or by dilution ventilation, and the air may be
efficiently filtered or treated, when necessary.
5. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
5.1 Location - Fans and other <,;quipment may be located in convenient
positions considering the intake offresh air, accessibility for maintenance
and noise control.
5.1.1 Where the exhaust of air laden with inflammable dusts, gases or
vapours is conveyed through ducts, the electric motor and fan shall be
situated outside in such a way that an explosion will not vent into the
work' room. The fan should be of non-sparking construction and the
motor, if not located outside the air stream, should be of flame proof
construction.
5.2 Ducts' - Where positive ventilation requires ducts for proper air
distribution considerable advantage may be achieved by incorporating the
ducts into the building structure and by having the interior surfaces care-
fully finished to render them smooth and air-tight and treated, to prevent
the possibility of dust being scoured from the walls by the passing' air.
For removal of corrosive or dust laden contaminants, ducts shall be pro-
tected against corrosion and erosion and shall be installed for easy
inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement.
5.2.1 Where metal duct work is installed, it shall conform to IS: 655-
1963*.
*Specification for metal air ducts( wlis,d).

5.3 Noise - Where in a work room owing to the nature of manufacturing

processes carried on, noise supression is important, close attention shall be
given to the design and installation of motors, fans .and ducts to ensure
quite operation and to minimize transmission of noise.
5.4 The performance of· ventilating equipment, such as fans and filters,
over a period of years is considerably influenced hy . the extent of
the initial provisi(Jn of fadHties for its efficient operation and maintenance.
The following points shall be borne in mind:
a) Adequate access for inspection. cleaning and repair of
component parts;
h) Reasonable space during operation;
c) Location of dampers and other operating controls in such a
position as would permit qui~k and easy operation; and
d) Adequate lighting and ventilation at· places where the equipment
is to be operated and maintained.

6. TESTING
6.1 All parties concerned shall agre~ to the cbjects of test, methods and
(\uration of test, degree of accuracy .required and state of ventilating
equipment under test. The plant should be run during normal working
hours and adjusted properly rrior to the test.
6.2 Amount of Air
6.2.1 Positive Ventilation - The volume of outside air by positive ventila-
tion shall be measured hy appropriate instruments, such as a properly
calibrated, 'anemometer', velocity'meter and pitot tube. To measure the
average velocity of "ir flow, it is necessary to make a tiavers~ of the
instrument over the cross-sectional drea of the intake openings or ducts
and obtain the average velocity from these results. The volume of air is
given by:
Q=AV
where
Q = volume of air in ma/mirt"
A = free area of intake openings of ducts in rna, and
V = average velocity of air in m/min.
6.2.2 Exhaust of Air - The volume of exhaust air shall be measured in
the same manner as in the case of positive ventilation by measurement of
air ~elocity and area of exhaust ducts or IJpenings, and multiplying the
one with the other.

6.2.3 Natural Irfiltration - This is difficult to measure as it varies from

time to time. The amount of outside air by natural infiltration through
doors or windows or through other openings depends on direction and
velocity of wind outside andlor convection effects arising from temperature
of vapour pressure difference ( or both) between inside and outside of the
work room.
6.2.3.1 Ventilation due to wind outside is given by the formula:
Q=EAV
where
Q = volume of air in m 3/min;
A = free area of inlet openings in m 2 ;
V = velocity of wind in m/min; and
E = co-efficient which varies from 0'5 to 0'6 wh~.()t:>eningB face
wind, and 0'25 to 0'35 when openings are at ··cm angle.
6.2:3.2 Ventilation due to convection effects arising from tempera-
ture difference between inside and outside is given by:
Q= 7'0 A.f h (t, - to)
where
Q = volume of air in m/min;
A = free area of inlet openings in m2;
h = vertical dista,nce between inlets and outlets in mm;
tr --: average temperature of indoor air at the outlet, in aC; and
t~ = temperatur.e of outdoor air in ac.
NOTE - The equation is based on 0'65 eff('ctiven('<s of openings. This should be
reduced to 0'50 if conditions are not favourable.

6.2.3.3 When areas of inlet and outlet openings are unequal, 'A' given
in equations under 6.2.3.1 a-nd 6.2.3.2 will be the smaller area and the
volume of air will be increased according to the percentage given in Fig. I.
6.2.3.4 Ventilation by combined effect of wind outside and tempera-
ture difference may be evaluated as follows:
a) Calculate the amount of outside air by methods given under 6.2.3.1
and 6.2.3.2,
b) Express the amount of air due to method 6.2.3.2 as a percentage
of the total, and
c) Use Fig. 2 to determine actual fl6w caused by the combined effect
of both.

tion of two or more methods of general ventilation is used, the total rate of
ventilation shall be reckoned 2S the highest of the following three:
a) rate of positive ventilation (see 6.2.1 ),
b) rate of exhaust air ( see 6.2.2 ), and
c) 1·25 times the rate of natural infiltration ( see 6.2.3 ).
This rule shall be followed until an exact formiIla is established

6.3 Air Movement - Turbulent air movement at the workitig zone may
be measured either by Kata the~mometer (dry silvered type), heated
thermo anemometer or properly calibrated thermocouple anemometer.
Kata thermometer and heated thermometer give cooling, power rather
than the velocity of air, and the rate of air movement is found out
from the cooling power by reference to a nomogram using the ambient
temperature. .
6.4 Tolerances - The rate of air flow as measured in the duct or at a
grille either by positive ventilation or exhaust of air shall be within
10 percent of the amount required.
6.4.1 Variation of air flow through filters and grilles shall not at any
time be more than ± 20 percent of the meim value.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 All ventilating equipm.ent shall be checked periodically and bearings
of various moving parts lubdcated. The equipment shall also be tcstcu
for air delivery. Such tests sllaJl be made at lcast once in a year.
7.2 The surfaces of any cooling or heating units and air cleaning devices
( including filters) shall be inspected at frequent intervals for corrosion
and dirt and when corrosion occurs the cor~oded parts shall be carefully
cleaned and prote.cted with anti-corrosion paint or other suitable medium.
Cleanillg of filters and heat transfer units shall be carried .out regularly to
promote their efficient use.
