How to calculate actuator time?

Yes. I also assumed a min operating pressure of ~30psi. Theoretically if someone is at 25psi (<2x ambient pressure) I should switch over to Low pressure drop flow equations, but I stuck with High pressure drop flow. I figured that it was close enough to the transition that it would only have 5-10% effect on time measurements.
