CONTROL PANEL:
4.
High Pressure Outlet Gauge:
a 4 in. (102 mm) diameter dial gauge constructed of stainless
steel with a range of zero to 70 MPa (10 000 psig) or zero to 103 MPa (15 000 psig). It is used to
indicate the output of the High Pressure Outlet Regulator (7).
5.
Low Pressure Outlet Gauge:
a 2 in. (51 mm) diameter dial gauge constructed of stainless steel
with a range of zero to 300 psig (2 MPa). It is used to indicate the output of the Low Pressure
Outlet Regulator (12).
6.
Pneumatically Operated Gas Booster Pump:
a Pascal press utilizing two pistons connected
together on the same axis having a nominal area ratio of either 75:1 or 152:1. The booster is a
two-stroke, single stage reciprocating pump.
7.
High Pressure Outlet Regulator:
a self-venting type regulator constructed of 303 stainless
steel, Kel-F, Buna-N, and Teflon wetted materials with an outlet pressure control range of 1.5
MPa (200 psi) to 50 MPa (7 500 psig) or 76 MPa (11 000 psig).
8.
Shop Drive Air Inlet Fitting:
a brass fitting with a 1/4 in. NPT female connection.
9.
Shop Drive Air Pressure Gauge:
a 1.5 in. (38 mm) diameter dial gauge constructed of brass
with a range of zero to 1.4 MPa (200 psig). It is used to indicate the output pressure of the Shop
Drive Air Regulator (10).
10.
Shop Drive Air Regulator:
a self-venting type regulator constructed of 316 stainless steel and
nylon wetted components with an outlet pressure control range of 0.9 MPa (125 psig).
Maximum supply pressure is 1 MPa (150 psig). The control knob is pulled out to make
adjustments; pushed in to lock into position. To prevent accidental pressure changes the knob
can easily be removed (pulled off).
11.
Shop Drive Air Shut-off Valve:
a brass ball-type, shut-off valve with a 90
°
full turn operation.
It is used to prevent flow of shop drive air to the booster. This valves turns the booster on and
off.
12.
Low Pressure Outlet Regulator:
a non-venting regulator constructed of aluminum, Viton,
stainless steel and Nylatron wetted materials with an outlet pressure control range of 0.15 to
1.25 MPa (20 to 180 psig). Maximum pressure supply is 20 MPa (3 000 psig).
13.
Drive Air Exhaust Muffler:
a painted aluminum tube with vent slits, 1/2 in. NPT female
connection fittings and noise reduction material inside. Used to muffle the noise of the booster
drive air exhaust.
