2.4.6
APPLY PRESSURE TO THE PISTON-CYLINDER MODULE
This section assumes that the PG7000 system has already been set up, including pressure
interconnection (see Section 2.3).
Before applying pressure to the PG7000 system, be sure that all pressure vessels and
connections are rated for the pressure levels that will be applied and that all connections have
been properly tightened.
Continuing with the PG7000 set up and check out requires applying pressure to the piston-
cylinder module and floating the piston.
Proceed as follows:
Turn OFF automated piston rotation (if present) and automated pressure
generation (if present).
This will prevent the automated rotation and pressure
generation features (if present) from interfering during verification of these features (see
Sections 3.9.8 and 3.9.9 for information on automated piston rotation and
pressure generation).
Load mass on the piston.
Install the mass loading bell on the piston. Then load the
make up
mass (9, 4.5 or 4 kg depending on the mass set) (see Section 2.3.1.3). If the
PG7000 platform is equipped with AMH automated mass handling, press
[ENTER]
and
enter a low value of pressure or mass to cause mass to be loaded onto the piston.
Float the piston.
Use the pressure generation/control component of the PG7000
system to apply pressure under the piston through the PG7000 Platform TEST port. The
piston will float at a pressure approximately equal to the piston mass to pressure
conversion factor multiplied by the mass load in kg. The piston-cylinder conversion factor
is marked on the top of the piston cap and is in either kPa or MPa per kilogram [kPa/kg or
MPa/kg].
If the piston cannot be floated because it immediately sinks down from a float position,
there is a leak in the pressure system. Identify and eliminate leaks until the piston, once floated,
falls at a rate less than the nominal fall rate given in the specifications of the piston-cylinder
module being used (see Section 1.2.2).
2.4.7
CHECK PROPER BEHAVIOR OF MOTORIZED PISTON
ROTATION (IF PRESENT)
Motorized piston rotation is a standard feature on PG7601 and an optional feature on
PG7102, PG7202 and PG7302.
The motorized rotation feature can be set to engage and disengage automatically as needed to
maintain the floating piston rotating within a set rotation rate range when floating, and to stop
rotation before mass manipulation to set a different pressure occurs (see Section 3.9.8). Motorized
piston rotation can also be activated manually by pressing
[
]
. Stopping piston rotation can be
activated by pressing and holding
[
]
and then pressing
[
←
]
(see Section 3.9.13).
Turn automated rotation OFF by pressing
[ROTATE]
and selecting
<1off>
. Load at least the
mass bell on the piston, float the piston and press
[
]
. When the piston is floating, the
motorized rotation system should engage and cause the mass bell and piston to begin
rotating. Within 5 to 30 seconds, depending on the mass load, the rotation rate should reach
80 rpm for PG7601 or about 50 rpm for PG7102 or PG7302. Current rotation rate can be
observed by pressing
[SYSTEM]
(see Section 3.9.5).
