Testing

With the completion of the new laboratory in 2015, New York Blower has significantly expanded its air and sound testing capabilities. The new, state of the art facility contains six airflow test chambers of various flow and pressure capabilities and two reverberant sound rooms. The facility will be used for research and development, training and hosting customers to experience testing of their fans before field installation. A description of each of the specialized testing features and other services offered is provided in more detail.

Products Quick Search

Air Performance Testing

Testing of fans is conducted in accordance with AMCA 210 Laboratory Methods of Testing Fans for Certified Aerodynamic Performance Rating.

Destruction/Deformation Testing

Testing is done in a horizontal shafted evacuated sealed 1-½” thick steel enclosure.

Environmental Testing

NYB tests paint samples in our fog chamber in accordance with ASTM B 117 for 100 hours.

Leakage Testing

NYB can provide leakage testing on fan assemblies that require low or zero leak performance.

Material Certification

NYB can certify and provide documentation through the use of Certified Mill Test Reports on all materials and hardware.

Mechanical Run Tests

This test goes beyond standard fan vibration testing by running the fan long enough to stabilize fan bearing temperatures to +/- 3° F and then checking fan vibration levels.

Sound Performance Testing

Testing of fans is conducted in accordance with AMCA 300 Reverberant Room Method for Sound Testing of Fans.

Stress Analysis

To achieve the highest level of performance and safety standards possible, it is essential to test and determine the maximum stress levels a fan can withstand.

Vibration Testing

Testing can be run for fans up to 500 horsepower motors at 460 voltage.

Weld Documentation

Our welders are qualified to AWS and ASME standards.

Wheel Balancing

At nyb we perform a series of tests to ensure optimal wheel balance in each of our fans.

Shaft Run Out Verification

Shafts are rotated on centers and run out is measure in several key locations. Reports are provided with measurements.

Barcol Hardness Testing

Utilizing a Barcol Impressor, components of FRP products are checked for hardness and degree of cure.

Modal Analysis

By analyzing performance under different operating conditions, fans can be tested to be sure they meet the system requirements.

Impact Testing

Impact testing can be done in two ways.

NDE Weld Analysis

In-house visual weld inspection is available by Certified Weld Inspectors (CWI).

Wheel Deconstruction / Deformation Testing

These over-speed tests are imperative to finding solutions for customers who need high performance wheels with durability they can trust.

Positive Material Identification/ Verification

NYB can provide in-house PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing on all non-Carbon Steel Alloys ...

Finite Element Analysis

While performance, durability, and quality are of the upmost importance, so is energy-efficiency.

Computational Fluid Dynamics

CFD testing is utilized by nyb to better visualize the natural air-flow within our fans.

Prototype / Product Evaluation

NYB has an advanced research and development team dedicated to improving current product designs...

Safety Equipment

NYB offers a full line of guards specifically designed to assist the user in providing a better environment for employees in compliance with OSHA requirements.
