26、 required for special installations.)1.2.6 Flow Way Open AreaThe least total cross-sectional area of the air flow ways, including the seat area of the air vent valve, shall be not less than the least total cross-sectional area of the waterflow passage or passages upstream from the air vent valve. Th

Flow hot water through to th

39、e device on test at 2.0 GPM (7.6 L/min) continuously. Flow hot water through the device for eight hours per day for a total of ten days (80 hours). At the completion of 80 hours, run water maintained between 33.0 F and 40.0 F (0.6 C and 4.4 C) through the device for a minimum of one (1) hour.3.2.3 C

40、riteriaAny indication of change in the physical characteristics of the material which prevents full com-pliance with the remaining tests of this standard shall result in a rejection of the device.3.3 Back Pressure of Downstream Check3.3.1 PurposeThe purpose of this test is to verify the tightness of

41、 the downstream check when subjected to a back pressure equal to the rated working pressure.3.3.2 ProcedureThe inlet check valve shall be removed or mechanically held open, and the air vent shall be sealed closed. Install the device as shown in Figure 1, including the sight glass with the shut-off c
