Application

TC 2 and TC 4

Tightness controls TC 2 and TC 4 can be used with gas 

solenoid valves of any nominal size, which are quick 
opening or slow opening with start rate. It is possible to 
conduct a tightness test on pneumatically operated or 
slow opening valves without start rate by using addi-
tional auxiliary valves.
Slow opening motorized valves VK up to DN 65 which 
are directly flanged together can also be checked by 

TC 2 and TC 4 within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C  

(32 to 140°F).

An adapter plate is provided for installation of the TC 2.

TC 3

Tightness control TC 3 is a universal device for quick 

and slow opening gas solenoid valves of any nominal 
size as well as for motorized valves. The tightness test is 
carried out with the valves installed in TC 3.

TC 4

Tightness control TC 4 consists of detection circuitry 

and can be installed in the control cabinet, separately 
from the system. An external pressure switch takes 
over the mechanical pressure test between the valves. 

Tightness control TC 4 is independent of gas type and 

inlet pressure p

u

 and can be used for a test period of up 

to 10 minutes with a large test volume.
