5.10.6
Needle placement:
The illustration in Figure 24
shows the manometer set-up for taking both periodic
and frequent static pressure readings.
5.10.6.1
Taking readings in the flex hose:
Remove
the needle protector, and insert the needle into the flex
hose approximately 8" above the top of the reclaimer.
5.10.6.2 Taking readings at the reclaimer door:
Open
the reclaimer fill door, remove the needle protector and
place the needle so the tip is inside the door opening.
Carefully close the door on the needle. The side of the
needle will embed into the rubber, creating an airtight
seal.

5.10.6.3 Taking frequent readings using a permanent
fitting:
A permanent fitting may be installed in the
reclaimer wall, as shown in Figure 24 for taking frequent
static pressure readings. Permanent fittings must have a
barb to accommodate the 3/16" ID tubing and have a
means of sealing the fitting when the manometer is not
in use. Use silicone sealer or other sealant to seal
around
the fitting to prevent leaks. The fitting should be capable
of being capped when the manometer tube is removed.
Sealing the fitting will prevent leaks that alter the
reclaimer’s separation efficiency. Air drawn into the
reclaimer will cause carry over of good media to the dust
collector.
5.10.7
Adjust the slide rule to align the zero with the
fluid level. Refer to the upper part of Figure 25.
5.10.8
Open cabinet doors and turn the exhauster ON.
The negative (static) pressure will move fluid in the tube.

Refer to Paragraph 5.10.6.3
When taking frequent
readings install a
permanent fitting in the
reclaimer wall, just below
the inner cone as shown.
Refer to Paragraph 5.10.6.2
Place the needle so the tip
is inside the door opening.
Carefully close the door on
the needle.
Refer to Paragraph 5.10.6.1
Insert the needle into flex hose
8" above the top of the
reclaimer.
With the exhauster OFF,
slide the rule to align the
zero with the fluid level.
To obtain the pressure reading: With
the exhauster ON, add the number
of inches the fluid travels up the
column to the inches the fluid travels
down the other column. The total is
the static-pressure reading.
The manometer must be vertical
when taking pressure readings.
In the example shown, fluid traveled up
the right column 1-3/4"
and down the left column 1-3/4".
Static pressure is determined by adding
the reading together. In the example,
the static pressure is 3-1/2".
