6.4.12 Burst Test Application
The Burst Test Application tests the burst pressure of an external device. A device such as a
rupture disk or any device that must be tested for burst pressure can be connected to the
Measure / Control port. Enter the Parameters below then press start to initiate the test.
• Burst Detection Rate: The threshold rate used by the controller to identify a burst.
• High Point: The highest pressure that the controller will control to during the test and should be set at a
value above the point where the burst pressure is expected to be.
• Low Point: The pressure point below the value where the burst pressure is expected to be. It is also
the point where the controller switches from Fast Rate to Slow Rate.
• Fast Rate: the rate at which the controller will control pressure to the Low Point.
• Slow Rate: The rate at which the controller will control between the Low Point and the High point.
If the Device under test must experience a burst condition between the Low Point and the High Point the
instrument will indicate the burst point at the end of the test. If the device under test does not experience
a burst condition the burst test screen will indicate a complete status. The burst test is initiated by press-
ing the Start button. Figure 6.4.12-A, 6.4.12-B and 6.4.12-C show the different status messages during a
burst test.
