This Standard sets out the method for determining the discharge coefficient and the effective aerodynamic area of a smoke/heat release vent.
NOTE: The value of the coefficient of discharge determined for the tested specimen may be applied to another vent having, with respect to the tested specimen—
(a) similar form of construction;
(b) similar width; and
(c) length within ±50 percent of the specimen length.
