Problems We Solve

WERCS technicians are experts at diagnosing and fixing paint booth issues that cost you time and money.

Unknown Airflow Conditions

Without testing, you don't know if airflow meets specs. WERCS provides precise measurements and documentation.

Finish Quality Issues

Contamination, overspray, and defects often trace to airflow problems. Testing identifies the root cause.

Compliance Uncertainty

OSHA requires adequate ventilation. Documented airflow testing demonstrates compliance to inspectors.

Unbalanced Systems

Supply and exhaust imbalance causes pressure problems. We measure and adjust for optimal balance.

Post-Modification Verification

After repairs or modifications, airflow must be verified. Testing confirms proper restoration.

Energy Waste

Excessive airflow wastes energy. Testing identifies optimization opportunities while maintaining compliance.

Our Service Process

How WERCS delivers exceptional results every time

1

Baseline Measurement

We measure air velocity at multiple points using calibrated instruments to establish current conditions.

2

Pressure Testing

We verify booth pressure relative to surrounding areas and pressure drop across filters.

3

CFM Calculation

We calculate total airflow volume and compare to design specifications and code requirements.

4

Balance Adjustment

If needed, we adjust dampers and fans to achieve optimal airflow balance and distribution.

Airflow Testing & Balancing FAQ

Common questions about our services

WERCS uses calibrated anemometers to measure air velocity at multiple points across the spray zone. We also measure pressure differential with manometers. Combined with duct measurements, we calculate total CFM airflow.
OSHA requires minimum 100 FPM average air velocity in conventional spray booths. Actual requirements depend on booth type, size, and materials used. We compare measurements to both code minimums and manufacturer specifications.
We recommend annual airflow testing as part of compliance verification. Additional testing should occur after any modifications, filter changes, or if finish quality problems develop.
If testing reveals inadequate airflow, WERCS diagnoses the cause—often filter loading, damper issues, fan problems, or duct restrictions—and performs necessary repairs to restore proper performance.
Yes, every airflow test includes a detailed report documenting measurements, calculations, and compliance status. These reports satisfy inspector requirements and insurance documentation needs.
