Probe head leak test

Cap the eductor air inlet (dilution air) and the eductor exhaust (outlet) ports, then connect a
hand held vacuum pump to the eductor sample inlet as shown in Figure 4.8. Pull a minimum
vacuum of 20 inches Hg (70kPa) with the vacuum pump as shown on the vacuum gauge and
record this value. The vacuum reading must not drop by more than 0.5 inches Hg (1.7kPa) in
1 minute.
Remove the hand held vacuum pump from the eductor sample inlet port and connect it to the
purge/calibration inlet (heated filter cap). Install a probe adapter fitting into the sample probe
barrel port as shown in Figure 4.8. Pull a minimum vacuum of 20 inches Hg (70kPa) with the
vacuum pump as shown on the vacuum gauge and record this value. The vacuum reading
must not drop by more than 0.5 inches Hg (1.7kPa) in 1 minute.
