This manual includes important information about operation of PPS28 gauges. Please read it carefully before operating the gauges. 1. Objective This manual is in place to assist the testing personnel involved in field operations with the required skills for programming, deployment, retrieval, and data extraction (downloading of data files from the tools), when working with the PPS28 series gauges. -
Page 5: Introduction
Pioneer Petrotech Service (PPS) has designed and developed quartz electronic memory pressure 3.1 Overview gauges since 2001. A series of quartz memory gauge products (PPS28) have been developed for critical well testing in hostile well conditions. The PPS28 quartz pressure gauge consists of a Quartzdyne digital quartz pressure transducer and our advanced electronic circuit and mechanical design. -
