The vacuum phase begins immediately and the display reads:
VACUUM TEST
VACUUM PULSE
-0.69 bar 01:02
The display shows the pressure (bar), and the total time from the start of the program.
When the pre-set pressure is reached (-0.80 bar) the pump stops and the pressure
stabilization phase begins (
WAITING PERIOD
), which lasts 5 minutes
(shown on the display
as a scalar value):
VACUUM TEST
WAITING PERIOD
05:00
-0.80 bar 01:48
During this phase, a variation of the maximum low pressure is allowed of not more than 10%,
without this causing the test to fail.
When the wait phase ends, the pressure verification
phase, true and proper, begins
(LEAKAGE PERIOD), with a duration of 10 minutes:
VACUUM TEST
LEAKAGE PERIOD
10:00
-0.79 bar 06:48
In this phase, a variation of up to ±0.02 bar is allowed, compared to the initial phase value.
Higher variations cause the test to fail.
The time is counted down until the phase is completed.
When this phase is also completed, the pressure is brought back to atmospheric pressure.
