Running a Test
WARNING!
Be sure all trapped air is bled from the system and specimens before
starting a test.
CAUTION:

STOP TEST
button is disengaged and the
burst enclosure lid is closed.

Be sure specimen is installed in the burst enclosure and that all air has been
bled from the specimen. See “Filling a Specimen” on the previous page.
2.
Be sure Eurotherm controller is in auto mode.
AUTO
indicator should be lit.
3.
Set the target pressure and test duration for the test, see page 23.
4.
Be sure the elapsed timer is set to zero.
5.
Be sure the maximum pressure is set to zero See page 25.
6.
Press the
START TEST
button. Once the start pressure is reached, the
elapsed timer will start counting and the timer light will illuminate.
Testing will stop automatically if one of the following occurs:
•
The enclosure lid is opened
•
The
STOP TEST
button is pressed
•
The specimen bursts or leaks sufficiently enough to activate the
specimen failure alarm
If the maximum system pressure (3000 or 5000 psi, depending on system) is
reached during a test, the Eurotherm display will flash. At this point, the
system will maintain specimen pressure. Specimen pressure can be relieved
by pushing the
STOP TEST
button.
