FanTestic Integrity
Retrotec’s latest Enclosure Integrity Test software
 Calculation of agent hold time or extended discharge rate, and peak pressure with required vent area,
based on measured or estimated enclosure leakage
 Venting calculator to determine size of required pressure relief vent even before leakage is measured
 Comprehensive, informative, customizable reports output to Microsoft Word
 Automatic updates over the Internet
 Calculations fully compliant with the ISO 14520 standard (2006 edition), and some previous editions
 Small and versatile data storage of results using an open XML format (fxml)
