Pneumatic test pump kit

Fluke Calibration , represented locally by Comtest , has introduced the 700HPPK Pneumatic Test Pump Kit, a rugged, portable tool that generates and adjusts pneumatic pressures up to 21 MPa (3 000 pounds-per-square-inch) without requiring a nitrogen bottle or other external pressure supplies. It is ideal for generating high pressure in the field to Devices Under Test (DUTs), such as transmitters, controllers, pilots, and analogue gauges. The 700HPPK reaches pressure in 20 seconds to full scale into a 30 cm 3 vol- ume. A detachable pressure adjustment system and adjustment control knob al- lows technicians to make fine pressure adjustments to 0,05% of reading or better. The lightweight and portable pneumatic pressure kit is designed for use in the lab or the field with collapsible feet, a built- in handhold, and a canvas carrying case making it field-portable. In-line filter and desiccant systems pro- tect the device against con¬tamination from the DUT, and it works on almost any

surface, so technicians do not need a flat laboratory bench or flat area in the field.

The 700HPPK has the versatility to cover a wide range of workloads. It features a 2-meter pressure line and assorted pres- sure fittings to connect to a variety of DUTs for wide workload coverage. Its ¼ NPT female reference gauge connector fa-

cilitates easy reference gauge switching. No PTFE tape or extra tools are required, reducing the equipment and accessories techni- cians need to carry to the job site. The calibration manifold attaches and de- taches smoothly via quick detent pins that reduce set up and pack up time. A second model, the 700HPP, is available specifically for high pressure source users. Enquiries: Tel. +27 (0) 10 595 1821 or email sales@comtest.co.za
