Valve proving system
Program B
Valve V2 opens for the set opening timet
L
. V2 closes
again. During the measurement time t
M
, the tightness
control checks the pressurep
Z
between the valves.
If pressurep
Z
>p
u
/2, valveV1 is leaking.
If pressurep
Z
<p
u
/2, valveV1 is tight. ValveV1 is
opened for the set opening timet
L
. V1 closes again.
During the measurement time t
M
, the tightness control
checks the pressurep
Z
between the valves.
If pressurep
Z
<p
u
/2, valveV2 is leaking.
If pressurep
Z
>p
u
/2, valveV2 is tight.
The tightness test can only be performed if pressurep
d
downstream of V2 is around atmospheric pressure and
the volume downstream of V2 is at least 5× higher than
the volume between the valves.
