7. Utilities
Pressure functions provide utilities or tests, which are:
•
Leak Test
•
Switch Test
•
TX Simulator
•
Relief Valve Test.
The
Tasks
menu gives access to these utilities. Only pressure measure functions are supported
with a utility function.
When the Leak Test, Switch Test and Relief Valve Tests are done, there is the option to save the
test results in the DPI 610E. These result files are in the CSV format and can be viewed when
transferred to a PC (See Section 5.3.1 on page 55). As a result, the Data logging application does
not support these tests.
The Transmitter Simulation (TX SIM) utility is supported by Data logging.
7.1 Leak Test
Leak Testing is usually done to make sure that the pressurised equipment or system and its
associated components do not leak. When a Device Under Test (DUT) is connected to the
DPI 610E pressure test port either directly or using hoses and auxiliary connections, it is good
practice to check for any possible leaks before commencing calibration or any other tests.
In a Leak Test, pressure (or vacuum) is applied to the system (typically not exceeding 10% of the
sensor working pressure) and any change in this pressure is recorded over the duration of the
test.
To configure and run a Leak Test:
Step 1
Tap on the
