According to NFPA 1192, what is the minimum time required for conducting a timed pressure drop test?

  1. 1 minute

  2. 3 minutes

  3. 5 minutes

  4. 10 minutes

The correct answer is: 3 minutes

The minimum time required for conducting a timed pressure drop test according to NFPA 1192 is three minutes. This duration is established to ensure that the test is adequate for identifying any potential leaks in the propane and other gas piping systems within RVs. A three-minute time frame allows for enough observation to accurately measure and evaluate the pressure stability during the test period. If the pressure drops significantly during this time, it indicates that there may be a leak in the system that requires further investigation and repair. The three-minute duration strikes a balance between being long enough to detect minor pressure drops while also being practical for technicians to conduct the test efficiently.
