Pressure Drop Data SMD-401
This pressure drop testing was conducted in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D using the three configurations shown. All
data has been corrected to represent standard air at a density of .075 lb/ft3
(1.201 kg/m3).
Actual pressure drop found in any HVAC system is a combination of many factors. This pressure drop information along with
an analysis of other system influences should be used to estimate actual pressure losses for a damper installed in a given
HVAC system.

AMCA Test Figures
Figure 5.3 Illustrates a fully ducted damper. This
configuration has the lowest pressure drop of the
three test configurations because entrance and
exit losses are minimized by straight duct runs
upstream and downstream of the damper.
Figure 5.2 Illustrates a ducted damper
exhausting air into an open area. This
configuration has a lower pressure drop than
Figure 5.5 because entrance losses are minimized
by a straight duct run upstream of the damper.
Figure 5.5 Illustrates a plenum mounted damper.
This configuration has the highest pressure drop
because of extremely high entrance and exit
losses due to the sudden changes of area in the
system.

Space Envelopes Required for
Actuators and Accessories
Externally mounted actuators always require space
outside of the damper sideplate or sleeve. The “S” dimen-
sion illustrates the clearance required for various available
actuators.
On dampers less than 18 in. (457mm) high, actuators may
also require clearances above and/or below the sideplate
or sleeve. “B” and “T” dimensions are worst case clear-
ance requirements for some dampers less than 18 in.
(457mm) high. All damper sizes under 18 in. (457mm) high
do not require these worst case clearances. If space avail-
ability above or below the damper sleeve is limited, each
damper size should be individually evaluated.

Transitioned Damper
Dimensions
When a fire/smoke damper is being used in conjunction with round or oval ductwork, the
SMD-401 can be supplied in a factory sleeve with round or oval transitions on both ends
of the sleeve. Dampers should be ordered to the duct dimensions. Drawings below show
overall damper size.
* These dimensions are furnished approximately 1/4in. (6mm) undersize, except round and oval dimensions which are approximately 1/8in. (3mm) undersize.
Ts = (2)(Sleeve Thickness)
Smoke Dampers meeting the following specifications
shall be furnished and installed where shown on plans
and/or as described in schedules. Dampers shall meet the
requirements of NFPA 92A, 92B, 101, & 105 and further shall
be tested, rated and labeled in accordance with the latest
edition of UL Standard 555S. Smoke dampers shall be of low
leakage design qualified to UL 555S Leakage Class I.
Each damper /actuator combination shall have a UL555S
elevated temperature rating of 250°F (121°C) minimum and
shall be rated to operate at maximum design airflow at its
installed location. Each damper shall be supplied with an
appropriate actuator installed by the damper manufacturer
at the time of damper fabrication. Damper actuator shall be
(specifier select one of the following) electric type for 120, 24,
or 240 Volt operation or pneumatic type for 25 psi minimum
(30 psi maximum operation.
Damper blades shall be hollow extruded aluminum airfoil
type with structural reinforcing tube running full length of
each blade. Damper frame shall be galvanized steel formed
into a structural hat channel shape with reinforced corners.
Bearings shall be sintered bronze sleeve type rotating in
extruded holes in the damper frame. Blade edge seals shall
be silicone rubber designed to inflate and provide a tighter
seal against leakage as pressure on either side of the damper
increases. Jamb seals shall be stainless steel compression
type.
Damper must be rated for mounting vertically (with blades
running horizontal) or horizontally and be UL 555S rated for
leakage and airflow in either direction through the damper.
The basis of design is Greenheck Model SMD-401.
Damper Sizing Information
Dampers larger than maximum single section size are supplied as a factory
assembly of two or more sections of equal size.
The following figure shows the size damper section that has been qualified
for operation with a single actuator. Larger sizes can be accommodated using
multiples of these assembles.
