Introduction This manual covers the operation and maintenance of the P5513. The Pneumatic Comparison Test Pump is used for checking pressure-measuring instruments against Master Test Gauges. Note The terms ”Master Test Gauge” and “Gauge” in this document refer to any pressure-measuring instrument such as Transfer Standards, Digital Calibrators and Transducers.
The comparison test pump should be placed on a stable workbench or similar surface. Operating Range The P5513 must be connected to an external gas supply through the ¼ NPT port in the rear of the instrument case. Typically, dry Nitrogen from a commercially available compressed gas cylinder is used.
Pneumatic Comparison Test Pump Connections Connections 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 tester. Particle contamination can damage the sensitive piston assemblies, valve seats and screw pump.

P5513 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 (stored in the spare seals container) as shown in Figure 7.
If the system becomes contaminated with dirt or moisture, this will transfer to the reference gauge and, potentially, cause damage to it and the pressure system of the P5513. If contamination is detected, the system must be disassembled and cleaned, if left to accumulate, the control needle valves and screw press may become damaged beyond repair.

P5513 Users Manual 7. If it is necessary to remove the barrel, the locknut (3) must be loosened approximately ½ turn. The barrel can then be unscrewed from the test station (1). Note It is often easier to remove the barrel support bracket to allow greater movement, (remove the 2 screws from the upper side of the top plate).
