SPECIFICATION

Introduction: Two sealed glass cylinders with access valves are mounted on a base board and connected via a tube. One cylinder performs the measuring function and the other is used to pressurise the volume of gas contained above oil in the measuring cylinder. The measuring cylinder is fitted with a compound gauge designed to measure the gas pressure both above and below atmospheric pressure.The height of oil and hence the volume of gas in the measuring cylinder is measured using a graduated scale. A thermometer in the measuring cylinder allows the temperature of the gas in the measuring cylinder to be determined. A small electric compressor provides a means of adjusting the pressure of the test gas above and below atmospheric pressure. The compressor is mounted on the base board and controlled by a panel mounted switch. A pressure switch and relief valves ensure operator safety.

 

 

Specifications: Glass cylinder volume: 1 litre.Glass cylinder: Ø100mm x 220mm high.Measured height displayed by the scale: 200mm.Compressor: 500W.
