Test pressure and duration of stabilization phase and measurement depend on the corresponding norms.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 9. General tightness test Via this function it is possible to perform tightness tests with freely se- lectable nominal pressure, stabilization time and measuring time. For the general tightness test it is possible to adjust the test pressure, the stabilization time and the measuring time.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 10. Gas pipe tests 10.1 General Information For the installation and maintenance of gas pipes, a stress test and a tightness test accord- ing to DVGW TRGI 2008 worksheet G600 has to be performed. For new laid pipings a stress test and a tightness test has to be performed, before the pipings are plastered or covered.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 For the determination of the stabilisation time and test time, the volume of the pipe section, that has to be tested, has to be determined. Via the selection buttons behind the displayed values, the input function opens.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 10.4.2 Pipings with operating pressures over 100 mbar up to and including 1 bar For pipings of new middle-pressure systems (operating pressure 100 mbar up to 1 bar) a combined stress test and tightness test has to be performed.

Instruction manual Dräger P4000 12.4 Stress test with air up to DN 50 3 bar and up to DN 100 1 bar The stress test of drinking-water installations has to be performed after the tightness test, in combination with a visual inspection of all pipe connections.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 12.6 Tightness test with water for metal-, multi-layer composite- and PVC pip- ings Drinking-water installations of metal-, multi-layer composite- and PVC pipings have to be tightness tested with water, at a test pressure of 11 bar.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000 13. Checklists Measurement regulations often contain visual and other inspections that have no context to the actual test. The checklists offer a possibility to gather such additional information for these tests or facilities. In addition, work instructions can be created and worked through.
