Connections

Fit the device under test (DUT) to the test port using the method described below:
Ensure that all devices are internally clean and free from
contamination before connecting to the tester.
Particle contamination can damage the sensitive piston
assemblies, valve seats and screw pump.
To avoid cross-contamination from other fluids, and protect the
system from particulates, we recommend the use of a
Liquid-to-Liquid Separator (see Chapter 7, Ancillary
Equipment).
DO NOT use Teflon/PTFE tape on these connections, as this
will prevent correct sealing. The Gauge Adapter sealing system
is designed for hand-tight sealing up to 20,000 psi / 1,400
bar-wrenches or similar tools are not required—over tightening
can cause damage to threads or sealing faces.
Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to the
test port.
Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean
and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.
The thread on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge adapters is
LEFT-HANDED. The following procedure details the correct method for
mounting devices using these adapters:
1. Screw the appropriate gauge adapter fully on to the instrument to be tested.
