    ATEQ is at your disposal for any information concerning the use of the device under maximum safety conditions. We draw your attention to the fact that ATEQ cannot be held responsible for any accident related to a misuse of the measuring instrument, the workstation or non-compliance of the installation with safety rules.
  • Page 5: Air Quality Requirements

    For this purpose, we strongly recommend that a suitable airtight filter is installed between the part under test and the instrument. ATEQ recommends the following characteristics for the air supplied into the device. Air characteristics ISO standard 8573 class 0.1 μm and 0.1 mg/m...
  • Page 6: Preamble

    Preamble ATEQ D6 Class, A UNIVERSAL FLOW METER 6/38 ATEQ D6 Class is a universal flow meter that measures flow rates through parts to test. ATEQ D6 Class can memorize 128 different test programs. QSG_D6 CLASS_439.00_EN_01 /_2020-05-04...
  • Page 7: Flow Rate Test

    FLOW RATE TEST The ATEQ D6 series can do direct or indirect measurements. In both cases, the flow meter can also work in vacuum (optional). Measurement principle 7/38 When the fluid (gas) enters the device 1, it moves through a calibrated flow tube 2 which causes a drop in pressure.
  • Page 8: Principe Of A Cycle

    Indirect measurement The indirect measurement (also called recovery mode or under bell) allows a considerable gain in time as the flow which enters into the device is already stabilized. The test pressure is first applied to the input of the part under test 1 and then to the device 2.
