C
Burner Maximum Firing (cf/hr)
a
Divide inches w.c. by 27.7 to get psi.
b
Divide Btuh by 1000 to get cf/hr for natural gas or by 2550 to get cf/hr for LP gas.
Calculation of Valve Train Volume:
X = V1 + V2 + (A x L ÷ 144)
X = 0.0218 + 0.0267 + (3.356 x 1.75 ÷ 144) = 0.0893.

We have a 2.5 MBTU burner with 2 psi valve train inlet
pressure. The upstream valve is a proof-of-closure V5044
with a solenoid V4295 valve downstream. We have a 2 in.
NPT pipe, 1-3/4 ft long, between the valves.

Test Time = 187,000 x (P x X ÷ C)
Test Time = 187,000 x (2 x 0.0893 ÷ 2500) = 13.4
seconds.
Round up to 14 seconds; enter 14 seconds into the VPS
Setup.
