4.2 Completing a High Pressure Test
For high pressure tests there are 3 different test options available. All of the high-pressure tests
require the use of the F3002 regulator which has a DIN connector which can accept input pressures of
up to 300 bar.
High-pressure charging compressors
High-pressure cylinder less than 200bar
High-pressure cylinder greater than 200bar
Note: For cylinder tests please ensure the test is carried out on a recently filled, fully charged cylinder.
Note: For the high-pressure charging compressor test a DIN to DIN adaptor ref: F2158 is required to
connect the F3002 high-pressure regulator to a charging hose.
To carry out a test press the appropriate button.
Ensure that the flow control valve is fully closed
and then connect the F3002 high-pressure
regulator assembly to the cylinder or charging
hose to be tested, ensuring that the regulator has
the correct type of connector for the cylinder.
Connect the regulator hose coupling to both the
regulator and the inlet of the Tester.
Open the cylinder valve and check that the cylinder is fully charged by reading the contents gauge on
the regulator. (A partially discharged cylinder can give an incorrect water result.) The pressure
displayed on the tester will be that of the regulated supply from the cylinder and must not exceed
10 bar. Press the button in the top right hand corner to proceed.
Note:- if the unit is over-pressurised it will automatically shut down and display an overpressure
warning; it will then need to be returned to the manufacturer for checking and resetting.
Carry out the odour test by gently opening the
flow control valve and smelling the air exhausted
from the sintered outlet, then close the valve. If
there is a serious odour problem, fail the sample
at this point of the test. Initiating flows of
seriously contaminated air through the tube ports
could result in damage to the unit. If the odour
test is satisfactory, press the ‘pass’ icon.
