Combustion Testing Procedures. The measurement for gases and temperature should be taken at the same point. Typically, this is done by selecting a sample location 'upstream' from the draft diverter/hood, barometric control or any other opening, which allows room air to enter and dilute flue gases in the stack.

Combustion Analysis is a careful test of the heat exchanger in your furnace to ensure it's working properly. In fact, it's the only test that will truly identify safe operation. While most companies perform a visual inspection, it will not uncover hairline cracks, which can lead to carbon monoxide leaks.

Vulnerable Appliances: Water heaters, boilers and furnaces, (and many fireplaces), are “atmospherically vented” appliances, which means these are the systems most at risk.

Combustion testing is the only proven way that can accurately test and evaluate the performance of fuel-burning equipment. It should be done on every service call and all of the fuel-burning appliances encountered while at a jobsite.

Combustion safety tests verify that atmospherically vented combustible appliances are working properly and not venting dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, in the living space. There are two common standard combustion appliance safety tests: • Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ)/Combustion Appliance Safety. (CAS) ...
