HBS-330 & HBS-331
Application and Design
Models HBS-330 and HBS-331 are heavy duty double flanged
channel frame style dampers with double thickness fabricated
airfoil blades. They are designed to protect against blasts and rapid
pressure changes. Qualified to pressures as high as 5.77 psi covers
many applications in Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and General
Services Administration (GSA) codes and standards, including
Charge Weight IIat 82 ft.
Code Blast Loading
GSA- Level C 4 psi @ 28 psi-msec
UFC 4-010-01 (charge
weight I at 148 ft)
UFC 4-010-01 (charge
weight II at 82 ft)
1. Charge weight I = large mass explosion as would be found in a vehicle bomb specific explosive weights are for US Government "For official use only" clearance
personnel.
2. Charge weight II = medium size mass explosions as would be found in a
briefcase or backpack bomb - specifice weights are for US Government "For
offical use only" clearance personnel.

Performance Data
Pressure Drop Data
This pressure drop data was conducted in accordance with AMCA Standard 500 using the three configurations shown. All data
has been corrected to represent standard air at a density of 0.075 lb/ft3 (1.2 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 the 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 the high entrance and exit losses due to
the sudden changes of area in the system.
Leakage Data
Leakage testing was conducted in accordance with
AMCA Standard 500 and is expressed as cfm/ft2 of
damper face area. All data has been corrected to
represent standard air at a density of 0.075 lb/ft3 (1.2
kg/m3).
