The required measurement time for the tightness test of V
p1
can be set using parameter 56. The possible settings are 3 s,
5 to 25 s (in 5 s steps) or 30 to 3600 s (in 10 s steps).

11 .8 .4 Valve opening time t
L1
Parameter 59
This parameter is used to define the opening time for the
valves (2 to 25 s) which are opened to fill or discharge the test
volume between the gas valves. If the preset opening time t
L
= 2 s is inadequate (e.g. if slow opening valves are used) to
fill the test volume or reduce the pressure between the valves,
bypass valves can be used instead of the main valves.
On condition that the gas volume which flows into the combus-
tion chamber is no larger than 0.083% of the maximum flow
rate, the opening time of the bypass valves may be longer
than the 3 s permitted by the standard (EN 1643:2000).
