 Speed – A number from 1 (slowest) to 9 (fastest). The speed
should generally be as slow as possible where the test
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. As a rule of
thumb, the speed can be the size of the valve in inches but
not less than 2 or more than 9. When the test range
(starting position minus ending position) is small, a slower
speed may be used.
