| - The control valve for the IC vessel is set to react slowly as the vessel has a long pressure period. The valve will not “wake up” until 300 Torr is reached on PT1. This is okay as long as the control valve begins to open by this point. The pressure change is slow enough that over the next hour the valve will open enough to catch the pressure before it exceeds **305 Torr**, well within the operating limit (500 Torr). | - The control valve for the IC vessel is set to react slowly as the vessel has a long pressure period.
