smoke dampers, and provides the information required to determine the proper
parameters for selection, installation, commissioning, and essential
maintenance of fire dampers and smoke dampers in use in buildings.
Smoke Control and Fire Dampers has been designed for mechanical services
designers; equipment manufacturers and suppliers; and maintenance
contractors.
