Digital Calibrators and Transducers. The two liquids are separated by flexible diaphragm held across the internal chamber. How to Contact Fluke To order accessories, receive operating assistance, or get the location of the nearest Fluke distributor or Service Center, call: •...
The table below details the sealing materials used in the two versions of this instrument. The P5521 is designed to work with a wide range of fluids compatible with Viton, but the P5522 is specifically designed for use with Skydrol, brake fluids and other, similar aggressive fluids compatible with PTFE and EPDM.
Preparation Applying Pressure Corrections Applying Pressure Corrections For ease of operation, the liquid separator is designed to be mounted directly to the test port on a deadweight tester. This creates an additional head of fluid above the pressure reference level on the deadweight tester, which means that 0.15 psi / 0.1 bar (or equivalent) should be deducted from the reading of the deadweight tester to maintain accuracy.
Chapter 2 Connections Introduction Fit the device under test (DUT) to the test port using the method described below: W Caution Ensure that all devices are internally clean and free from contamination before connecting to the separator. Particle contamination can damage or puncture the diaphragm causing cross-contamination of both systems.

Connections Introduction gkq009.bmp Figure 2-3. Adjust the Gauge 3. To adjust the position to face forward, hold the gauge adapter and turn the instrument COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, so that it faces forward. 4. Hold the instrument steady, while turning the gauge adapter COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until it pulls down onto the O-ring.
P5521 & P5522 Users Manual Test Port Insert For devices with 1/8 BSP or NPT mounting threads, the diameter of the thread is very close to the effective sealing diameter of the O-ring fitted to the test port. This can make it difficult to achieve a good seal. When mounting these devices, use the test port insert as shown in Figure 2-6.
Chapter 3 Operation Priming W Warning To avoid damage to the instrument, the operator should check the quality of the operating fluid during use. If the fluid becomes discolored, cloudy or particles appear in the reservoir, the system should be drained and flushed with clean fluid. 1.
P5521 & P5522 Users Manual 12. Open deadweight tester reservoir valve; wait for a few seconds to allow the system pressure to equalize, then close the deadweight tester reservoir valve. Operation W Warning Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the instrument.

Operation Operation The liquid from the deadweight tester is forced into lower section of separator chamber (below diaphragm), displacing liquid and trapped air above diaphragm back into reservoir. gkq020.eps Figure 3-3. Diagram of Stage 3...
Chapter 4 Maintenance & Servicing Introduction The Figures on the following pages detail the components of each assembly, together with the relevant part numbers. Before beginning any maintenance, remove the separator from the deadweight tester, any instruments that may be mounted to the separator, and drain the fluid from the system. Diaphragm Replacement If deadweight tester fluid appears in the separator reservoir, or separator fluid appears in the deadweight tester reservoir, then the diaphragm has been damaged.
Chapter 5 Ancillary Equipment Angle Adapter, P5543 To calibrate gauges with the pressure connection on the rear (e.g. panel-mount gauges) in their correct position, an angle adapter should be used. The angle adapter fits directly onto the test station, converting it through 90 degrees, allowing the standard adapters to be used.
P5521 & P5522 Users Manual Pointer Remover/Punch, P5551 To remove and refit the pointer of a pressure gauge, use the pointer remover/punch instrument. This tool has a spring-loaded plunger to quickly and consistently refit the pointer. gkq004.bmp Figure 5-2. Pointer Remover/Punch...
