p
FD
Max. feed pressure in inner pipe
p
AE
Switching value "Alarm ON"; the alarm will be triggered at this
pressure level at the latest
p

ÜDV1
Opening pressure for overpressure valve 1 (interstitial space)
The use of overpressure valves can be omitted if the test
pressure of the interstitial space is
3 bar (Type 1.1 and 1.5)
or
10 bar (Type 2.0 to 3.0).

PRÜF
Minimum test pressure of the interstitial space
Supplement to the table:

AA
Switching value "Alarm OFF"; the alarm will be deactivated if
this value is exceeded
The switching value “Alarm OFF” is approx. 100 mbar higher
than the switching va
lue “Alarm ON” (p

The switching value “Pump ON” is approx. 100 mbar lower
than the switching value “Pump OFF” (p

3.4
Field of Application
3.4.1 Interstitial space requirements
o
Proof of pressure resistance of the interstitial space (see section
3.3 switching values, table, column “p
PRÜF
” Minimum test pressure
of the interstitial space)
o
Proof of suitability of the interstitial space (for Germany: proof of
usability from construction authority).
o
Sufficient passage in the interstitial space for the leak detection
medium air.
o
Tightness of the interstitial space according to this documentation.
o
The number of interstitial spaces to be monitored depends on the
total interstitial space volume. According to EN 13160, 10 m
3
may
not be exceeded. To be able to test the tightness of the interstitial
space, it is recommended not to exceed 4 m
3
.
The pipeline length (per duct) to be monitored should not exceed 2
500 m and must correspond with the specifications for the pipe per-
mit.
3.4.2 Pipes
Double-walled pipes made of metal or plastic, in factory or on-site
construction.
For Germany: Additional requirements may result from the respective
permits.
3.4.3 Fittings
Double-walled fittings made of metal or plastic in factory or on-site
construction.
For Germany: with proof of usability from construction authority, un-
less it is part of the pipe permit.
