SECTION 2.0
CONNECTIONS
Fit the device under test (DUT) to the test port using the method described below:
IMPORTANT
Ensure that all devices are internally clean and free from contamination before connecting
to the tester.
Particle contamination can damage the sensitive piston assemblies, valve seats and screw
pump.
To avoid cross-contamination from other fluids, and protect the system from particulates,
we recommend the use of a Liquid-to-Liquid Separator, (Refer to section 9.0, Ancillary
Equipment).
WARNING
DO NOT use Teflon/PTFE tape on these connections, as this will prevent correct sealing. The
Gauge Adapter sealing system is designed for hand-tight sealing up to 20,000 psi / 1,400 bar
- wrenches or similar tools are not required – over tightening can cause damage to threads
or sealing faces.
Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to the test port.
Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean and undamaged, as scratches
or dents can form leak-paths.
