Retrotec is ANAB Accredited
Retrotec is now ISO 17025 accredited for pressure and flow. This takes years of work to accomplish and a huge investment in quality calibration equipment. No other blower door company has this. ISO 17025 calibration is now included with every Retrotec Gauge and is optional for all our newest duct testers and blower doors. Authorities worldwide recognize this accreditation

Acronym of the Month

EqLA

Do you know what EqLA stands for?  Do you use it in your results? Look for the definition in September's Newsletter

 

July's Acronym ACH50 means... Air Changes Per Hour at 50 Pascals.  Calculated as CFM50 (cubic ft. per min at 50 Pascals) x (converts minutes to hour) divided by the volume of the conditioned area.

 

FYI-ACH50 RESULTS can be displayed live in Channel B on the gauge.  See July's Newsletter for how to display ACH50.
