Introduction
This addendum decribes the burst test option for PACE controllers and must be used with the user manual K0443. Refer to pages i to iii of user manual K0443, for safety and other details when using PACE Pneumatic Pressure Controllers.
1 Burst Pressure Testing
1.1Overview
The PACE instrument, burst test option can be used to test devices, such as a bursting disc device. This is done by a pre-defined test where the user enters pressure values and slew rates to define the form of the burst test. The test concludes with the device bursting, the test terminated by the user or the end of pressure is reached.
1.2Select Burst Test Task
To set the PACE instrument for a burst test select the required pressure units and pressure range.
Test Parameter Entry
•Start set-point, to take the pressure near the expected burst point.
•Start slew rate, a default value of 10% full-scale can be changed to another value suitable for the device under test.
•End set-point, to take the pressure to and past the expected burst point.
•End slew rate, a default value of 1% full-scale can be changed to another value suitable for the device under test.
