p = absolute pressure
V = gas volume
This is valid for the test of valve 1 V1:
Should t3 be negative, at least 1s must be set.
If the calculation of t3 for valve 2 is higher than t3 for valve 1, the value for the calculation of
valve 2 must be adjusted.
NOTICE
p
Schalt
must always be higher than p
out.
Otherwise V1 would be recognised as leaking even if it is not.
This is valid for the test of valve 2 V2:
If t3 is negative, at least 1 s must be set.
If the calculated t3 value of valve 1 is higher than t3 for valve 2, the calculated value of valve
1 must be adjusted.
