321 00 01 47 SPT Okay. Check the DELTA-P, recycle to MDA TUNNELVEN T until DELTA-P greater than 3.5, around8-1/2 minutes. Now your delta-P didn't change,did it?

CDR Yes,itdid. Itwentupa tad. ,SPT It went up a tad?

CDR Yes. What it's supposed to do? What we'redoing is we're venting air out of there. Okay,it's up to 2 now.

CDR Yes.

SPT And then you went to MDA/CM DELTA-P.CDR Yes, and it read about 0.4.

SPT Oh, I see. We Just verify - oh, we don't -Okay,waitaminute.

CDR Now it's up to 0.2 and holding.

SPT Well, it takes around 8-1/2minutes apparently.CDR Okay.

SPT Okay, you get the delta-P greater than 3.5.Then we verify MDA/CM DELTA-P indicator constantabout point - plus, minus 0.2 at last value for2minutes. Record value.

321 00 03 21 SPT Who are we going to be talking to tonight?Probably not Jerry Hordinsky. Maybe it's goingto be ...

SPT Then wait 8-1/2 minutes in there.CDR Yes.

SPT Verify MDA/CM DELTA-P indicator constant - in-F dicationconstantat 0.2, plus, minus 0.2 ... - -

321 00 07 55 CDR Oh, wait a minute. I know what I'm supposed todo. I'm supposed to be turning this thing off,checking DELTA - MDA/CM DELTA-P. Yes. I waslooking at it in the TUNNEL VENT and expectingto see something. It's 2.5 now.

SPT Oh, okay. Hello, Sun. Man, you're a brightmother.

CDR Well - -SPT What position is your valve in?CDR It's locked OFF then.

SPT Oh, okay.CDR You get a delta-P of 3.5 between us and the

tunnel, and then we turn it off and watch it for2 minutes to make sure it doesn't creep.

SPT Okay.321 O0 14 44 CDR It would mean we're leaking into there. 3.4.
