2 Types Leak Tests for Machines
High Pressure Testing (2 methods)
Low Pressure Testing
High Pressure Testing measures the pressure from the __________ to the _____________.
From the tank to the circuit
Pressure from the tank begins at 2200 psi, but the pressure regulator reduces this to _____________ psi by the time it reaches the machine.
50 psi
Turn on the tank to do a High Pressure Test (method 1), and ________________ for a leak.
Listen
If you cannot hear a leak when performing a high pressure test (method 1), what is an alternative assessment?
- Turn the machine off and watch the manometer for changes.
- Spray a detergent solution at all the junctions and watch for bubbles (machine off or on?)
