Method Of Testing With Larger Volume Systems - GE Druck DPI 610 User Manual

Method of Testing with Larger Volume Systems

Connect the device or external system under test to the calibrator and prepare

for test as detailed on Page 72.
Note: To apply a negative differential pressure, connect the tee piece (refer to
Figure B3), to the negative port and use the hand-pump to apply a positive
pressure to the negative port.
Close the vent valve (turn fully clockwise).

Zero the calibrator by pressing the ZERO key as in the sequence below:

SENSITIVE EXTERNAL SYSTEMS
Close the pump valve and operate the hand-pump to pressurize or depressurize

the device or system under test to just above/below the required level.
Adjust the output pressure to the required level by using the volume adjuster as a

fine adjustment. Allow a short period for the pressure to stabilize before fine
trimming.
Note: The larger the external volume, the less effect the volume adjuster will have
on the output pressure.
Record the test result using either data log or snapshot facility as required.

Use the pump and volume adjuster to set-up any additional test pressures

required. The recommended method starts at 0, increasing to 10%, 25%, 50%,
75% and 100% full-scale and then decreasing to 75%, 50%, 25%, 10% and 0.
Record the results for each test pressure.
Note: To release the output pressure at any point during a test or series of tests,
open the vent valve. Allow a few seconds for the connected system to vent.
With larger volume systems connected, first disconnect both the reference
and positive pressure lines from the calibrator and then reconnect before
zeroing.
