CAUTION:
The bottom edge of the pressure compensation vessel
must not be lower than the node point; the upper edge of the pres-
sure compensation vessel must not end more than 30 cm above
the node point.
For each 10 ml of the condensate trap(s) used in the measuring
line between the pressure compensation vessel and leak detector,
L
max
is reduced
by 0.5 m

OR (alternatively to the pressure compensation vessel)
50% of the overall length of the measuring line must be laid with a
0.5 to 1% downward gradient to the node point. L

= 0.5 x total
length of the measuring line.
5.3.4 Several pipeline interstitial spaces are connected in series
The liquid stop valves installed against the direction of flow (27*) pre-
vent the other interstitial spaces from becoming filled with liquid in the
event of a leak in a pipeline.
The interstitial space volumes of the connected pipes must meet the
following conditions:

5.4 Completing Pneumatic Connections
5.4.1 Assembling the connection to the pipeline interstitial space or test valves
(1) Generally according to the specifications provided by the manu-
facturer of the pipeline/interstitial space.
(2) If Schrader valves are used, please proceed as follows:
o
Unscrew protective cap
o
Re-tighten lock nut
o
Unscrew valve insert and stick next to the connection with ad-
hesive tape. (As evidence of disassembly)
o
Screw connection to the interstitial space or test valve and fas-
ten finger-tight
o
If necessary, further tighten with suitable pliers

If this volume is multiplied, L
