    Air release rate.

    Thanks guys, The reason I ask is because on sprinkler dry Systems you sometimes have an Excelerator. Which is a device that speeds up the tripping of the dry valve. It's based on the rate of air loss in the system. It senses the drop and don't air pressure from on top of the clapper to blow it...

    Air release rate.

    like, is the 80psi system going to deplete at say 5psi/second where as the 40psi system depletes at 2psi/second?? ----is there any way to find out the rates of depletion of each system?

    Air release rate.

    Thanks guys. Thats what I thought. Is there and mathematical formula or chart that you know of, to see the difference in flow rate between the 2 pressures?

    Air release rate.

    I have a question for you guys. I am a sprinkler fitter and we have certain Systems that are full of air where freezing is a concern. My question is this, would a higher air pressure release through an open outlet at a faster rate than a lower air pressure? Eg. Would 80psi Drop at a faster...
