Maximum burner flow rate Q
Limit leakage rate (0.1% of Q
Test volume:

= ½ EVP... + ½ EVP... + pipe
p
= (0.95/2) + (0.95/2) + (0.2x2.85)

Leakage rate V1,2 :
(250 – 125) x 9.194 x 3600
V1,2 =

The device can detect a leak lower than the maximum value allowed of 500 dm
Two pressure switches must be installed to detect a lower leak.
