6.0 TESTING AND BALANCING (TAB) PROCEDURES

a. ☐ Smoke test. Using either a smoke tube or smoke candle, observe airflow currents and patterns throughout the range. This should identify disturbances and direction of airflow. Unnecessary personnel should not be present in the range or near the supply air plenum during the assessment. Prior to activating the tube or candle, ensure that the ventilation system is on and operating. If a smoke candle is used, a coffee can with some type of a handle fabricated (pliers) should be used to handle the candle. At the firing line, smoke test each firing station (booth). Test from the floor to about 6-foot level. Observe the smoke pattern. The smoke should move down range and demonstrate laminar flow. Document unusual smoke patterns or where smoke swirls and returns to the shooter's position. Eddies or swirls near the floor, or other obstructions are a concern and should be noted. If turbulence is observed, air velocities may be high in that area. Note that air velocity measurements conducted later in this area may not truly indicate the direction of the flow (turbulence and eddies may have flow directions other than down range but will be reflected only as a measured value). Conduct additional smoke measurements down range to ensure adequate air velocities and patterns are maintained down range towards the bullet stop. Note that many ranges were designed to have multiple exhaust points down range that will affect the smoke patterns.

b. ☐ Air Flow Testing: Measure the cross-sectional area for the range and calculate the necessary volumetric air flow. Measure the ceiling height and width of the range at the firing line. Measure the ventilation.
