How long does LEV testing take?
The time it takes for LEV testing to be undertaken depends on the following factors:
- Number of hoods or extraction points
– Each hood must be inspected, tested, and documented individually. - System complexity
– More complex systems with multiple branches, filters, and controls take longer. - Access and layout
– Difficult-to-reach ducts or fans may slow the process. - Availability of system information
– If original design specs or previous reports are missing, extra time is needed to establish performance benchmarks. - On-site coordination
– Delays can occur if machinery needs to be shut down or access is limited.
