Some of the major components of the burst system are described below.
Air Powered Water Pump (Standard)
The standard burst test system is supplied with an air operated high pressure water
pump. It provides the high-pressure water supply for the burst system. Water
pressure will be either 3000 or 5000 psi depending on the supply pressure, check
the
SUPPLY PRESSURE
gauge on the burst cabinet. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions included separately in this manual for more specific
information about the pump.
CAUTION:
Avoid running the pump dry. Always be sure water is on to the console
before turning on the air. Operate pump only when testing a specimen.
TO STOP THE PUMP, TURN OFF THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY TO
THE PUMP.
Electric Piston Pump (Optional)
In lieu of the standard air over water pump, Stage II and Stage III burst systems
can be purchased with an optional electric piston pump. Like the air over water
pump, it provides the high-pressure water supply for the burst system, but at a
faster rate. Water pressure is typically 3000 psi, check the
SUPPLY PRESSURE
gauge on the burst cabinet. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions included
separately in this manual for more specific information about the pump.
CAUTION:
Avoid running the pump dry. Operate pump only when testing a
specimen.
