Application
Model SMD-203 is a leakage rated smoke damper with 3V style
blades. The SMD-203 has been qualified to 2,000 fpm (10.2 m/s) and
4 in. wg (1 kPa) for operational closure in emergency smoke control
situations. Model SMD-203 may be installed vertically (with blades
running horizontally) or horizontally and is rated for airflow and leakage
in either direction.
Ratings
Leakage: UL 555S leakage class III
Pressure: 4 in. wg (1 kPa) - differential pressure
Consult factory for sizes available in
6 in. wg (1.5 kPa)
Velocity: Operational rated to 2000 fpm
(10.2 m/s). Rating is for airflow in
either direction through damper.
Temperature: 350°F (177°C) depending on the
actuator
Standard Construction
Frame: 5 in. x 1 in. (127mm x 25mm)
galvanized steel hat channel with
reinforced corners. A low profile
head and sill are used on sizes less
than 17 in. 432mm) high to maximize
free area and performance.
Blades: 16 ga. (1.5mm) galvanized steel,
reinforced with 3 longitudinal
structurally designed vee’s.
Seals: Flexible stainless steel jamb seals.
Linkage: Concealed in jamb.
Axles:
Bearings: Bronze sleeve type

This pressure drop testing was conducted in accordance with AMCA Standard 500-D using the three congurations shown. All
data has been corrected to represent standard air at a density of .075 lb/ft
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 conguration has the lowest pressure drop of the three test congurations
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 conguration 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 conguration has the highest pressure drop because of extremely high
entrance and exit losses due to the sudden changes of area in the system.
