Precision Flow Test Kit – Model 806

Range: 0-80" H2O thru 0-600" H2O High accuracy portable test kit for precise flow indication and leak detection. This kit is equipped with a precise (±1% of full scale) accuracy differential pressure gauge. Popular applications include but are not limited to: measuring the pressure drop across various types of equipment i.e. filters, balancing HVAC systems, checking pump performance, orifice plates, checking calibration of transmitters, or reading flow directly when ordered with a square root dial etc. When being used the gauge should be placed in as nearly vertical position as possible. This gauge is position sensitive and accuracy may be less than stated, if not in a vertical position.

Functions and Applications

1. Connect hoses to test connections – red high pressure hose upstream, green low pressure hose downstream.
2. Open balance valve (bottom of panel)
3. Pull free end of clear plastic tubing from kit.
4. Open high and low bleed valves alternately to purge air from system. Bleed water discharges from convenient clear plastic flexible tubing.
5. When bleeding shows all air removed – close bleed valves, balance valve and read differential pressure.
6. When test is complete – open balance valve before disconnecting hoses from test connections.
7. Hoses are stored by coiling them around the test gauge panel.
8. Place clear plastic tubing inside case before closing lid.

For convenience in handling, the cover of the test kit is removable. Depress the pin spring of the top hinge, pull the hinge slightly apart and slide the cover off. To reinstall, reverse this procedure.

NOTE: The 805 Test Kit is equipped with in line filters near the ends of the hoses. If the gauges respond slowly to changes in the differential pressure the filter elements may be partially plugged.

To remedy this, unscrew the two halves of the filter housing and remove brass filter element. It may be cleaned by flushing with mild detergent and water. If, after reassembly this has not satisfactorily improved the response time a replacement filter element kit #98008 should be installed.
