Leakage measurement (gas serviceability test) with the DPG02 TOUCH

The serviceability test, including the determination of the gas leakage rate, is a specified measurement in the TRGI for existing gas pipes in the low pressure range up to 100 mbar. The leak quantity measurement is explained here step by step using the DPG02 TOUCH.

In this video, Mr. Rau shows you the individual steps of leakage measurement with the RAU DPG02 TOUCH pressure tester.

Step by step

How the measurement is carried out

Enter object / customer and inspector
Close the gas tap and remove the meter
Fitting the single-pipe meter cap
Connect Y-hose and test hose and connect to DPG02
Check the tightness of the stopcock on the display: 0.0 hPa
Open the stopcock and check the operating pressure of the system on the display
On the display: “Leakage rate determination” and select the operating pressure of the system under “Select measuring pressure” (24 hPa | 50 hPa | 70 hPa | 100 hPa)
Automatic measuring sequence starts (10 minutes). After 5 minutes, you will receive the first reference value for the leakage volume.
