design temperatures.
6.
Using pitot tube and calibrated manometer, traverse the main duct and all
main branches and ascertain the total air being delivered. Adjust or replace
pulleys and belts and install additional dampers if required to obtain the
design airflow. Make adjustments so that all finally adjusted air quantities
are at least equal to, but more than 10 percent above, the air quantities noted
on the drawings.

Permanently mark the balance position of all manual volume dampers, and
replace all access covers.
OPERATION DEMONSTRATION
A.
General: When each system has been completed and proved functional,
demonstrate its intended operation in each of its operating modes. Simulate in an
acceptable manner functions dependent upon parameters such as weather, process
or emergency conditions which are unavailable at the time of test, or separately
demonstrate when those parameters exist, to assure proper functioning under all
operating conditions. Immediately after testing, properly reset control settings
temporarily modified for such simulations.
B.
Final Acceptance: Final acceptance of the Work will be contingent upon the
operation of all equipment and systems meeting the specified requirements. The
CONTRACTOR shall conduct a second test of the entire system within 30 days
from the planned date of final acceptance and make all adjustments needed to
correct any deficiencies identified during the inspection. The CONTRACTOR
shall provide the CONSTRUCTION MANAGER with a final report which
describes the results of all testing conducted and final adjustments made to the
systems.
