30-minute intenals. Failure to start and operate at rated capacity, pressure and
speed, or requirement for replacement of parts shall constitute failure of this
test.
4 . 6 . 2 . 7 C y c l i n g . Start the compressor and allow the receiver pressure to build
up until the pressure-regulation control operates. Then reduce the receiver
pressure until the pressure-regulation control activates to increase the pressure
Vary the pressure as above until a total of 20 high-pressure actuations and 20
low-pressure actuations have been reached. Inability of the pressure-regulation
control to control the pressure as specified shall constitute failure of this

When an adjustable pressure-regulating valve of
the pressure-relief type actuated by receiver pressure is used at the beginning
and after completion of the endurance test, start the compressor and allow the
receiver pressure to build up to determine pressure required to discharge full
capacity through the pressure-regulating valve. Then reduce the receiver
pressure to determine the pressure at which the pressure-regulating valve reseats
Inability to meet the requirements specified in 3.20.4 shall constitute failure of
this test.
