Controlling air and gas movement is paramount in high-hazard industries like oil refineries, chemical plants, cleanroom facilities, and nuclear power stations. That is why EB Air Control has built its reputation on designing dampers that comply with internationally recognized standards and are validated by independent third-party agencies. Each product undergoes stringent testing as per industry standards, including AMCA-500D, ensuring global acceptability and client confidence.
Why Bubble Tight Dampers Matter
Unlike conventional dampers that might allow some leakage, Bubble Tight Dampers are engineered to provide absolute zero leakage when subjected to pressure. The term “bubble tight” refers to a stringent leakage specification where even the presence of a single bubble during testing would mean failure.
This precision matters most in:
- Handling of toxic or flammable gases
- Nuclear and radioactive facilities
- Cleanrooms and pharmaceutical plants
- High-risk industrial processing areas
With EB Air Bubble Tight Dampers, facilities can be assured of the highest containment standards and uncompromised safety performance.
Third-Party Validation & International Compliance
To maintain customer trust and ensure compliance across industries, EB Air Control subjects its dampers to rigorous third-party testing. Independent global agencies test these dampers under real-world conditions, verifying their ability to perform in the most demanding environments.
All dampers are:
- Validated by third-party international agencies
- Tested as per industry standards and AMCA-500D/ EN 12266-1/2 Standard.
- Third-party validated for sealing effectiveness, pressure containment, and cycling of dampers.
- Recognized for global compliance and acceptability
This commitment ensures EB Air products are not just internally validated but also stand up to independent international scrutiny
Differentiating Standard vs. Zero-Leakage Dampers
While both series undergo strict validations, their intended applications differ:
Standard Dampers
- Designed for applications where minimal leakage is acceptable
- Validated by international agencies for HVAC compliance and efficiency
- Widely used in industrial HVAC applications where reliability and maintainability are crucial
Zero-Leakage Bubble Tight Dampers
- Engineered for critical environments such as nuclear plants, oil & gas process facilities, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries
- Tested as per AMCA-500D/EN 12266-1/2 Standard and global standards for absolute zero leakage
- Provide airtight performance and durability even under extreme conditions
This dual compliance approach allows EB Air to serve a wide spectrum of industries while meeting their distinct safety, performance, and compliance needs
Compliance & Standards
EB Air Control dampers are globally recognized and tested in accordance with:
- AMCA-500D – International standard for air leakage and damper performance
- ASHRAE Guidelines – Ensuring efficiency and operational safety in HVAC systems
- ISO & EN-12266-1/2 Standards – For design, safety, and reliability in hazardous environments
- Third-Party International Validation – Independent certifications that reinforce trust and transparency
These benchmarks ensure EB Air products are not only high-performing but also globally compliant and accepted across industries.
Ideal Applications
EB Air dampers are third-party validated and tested as per AMCA-500D/ EN- 12266-1/2, making them suitable for industries where failure is not an option:
- Oil & Gas Refineries: Safely control toxic and flammable gases
- Pharmaceutical & Cleanroom Facilities: Prevent contamination with zero-leakage dampers
- Defense & Aerospace: Ensure airtight and high-pressure reliability for mission-critical operationsHospitals and Isolation Wards
Commitment to Global Standards
By undergoing third-party validation and testing as per AMCA-500D and international industry standards, EB Air Control reinforces its commitment to engineering excellence, compliance, and global trust
These certifications are not merely seals of approval — they demonstrate EB Air’s dedication to international reliability, safety assurance, and performance transparency. Whether in an oil refinery, cleanroom, or nuclear-based facility, EB Air dampers provide confidence in containment and reliability in performance.
