7.1.6.1 Total Flush Volume and Cycle Time

Test. Measurement of consumption shall only be

necessary for Water Saving and Low Consumption

Closet Types.

(a) • Test Method

(1) Apparatus (see Fig. A-1). The receiving vessel

may be calibrated either by volume in increments not

exceeding 0.1 gal (0.4 L) or placed on a load cell with

readout in increments not exceeding 0.1 gal (0.4 L).

A-stop-watch-or electric timer graduated in increruents-not-greater than 0.1 seconds shall be used to

measure time.

(2) Procedure. Observe the static pressure, then

trip- the flush release device and start the stop watch

or-electric timer. Observe the flow pressure (minimum value). Also, observe peak flow rate indicated

by the flow meter (see Fig. A-1 and Table A-5).

When the main flush is completed, as indicated by

cessation of the trailing flow which occurs at the end

of the principle discharge, observe the volume received in the vessel (main flush volume). Again observe the volume (total flush volume) after cessation

of flow of - the excess trap refill water (after flow)

Determine the amount of excess trap refill (afterflow) by subtracting the main flush volume from the

total flush volume. Measure trap seal restoration (see

7.1.6.3 for procedure). This completes one test run.

Repeat the procedure until three sets of data are

obtained for each test pressure.
