Water Column Pressure Test
20 000 mm for example means that this water column should be 20m high for the pressure to be too big and for the water to leak through the fabric.
Water column pressure test. This is a demonstration that pressure increases with depth in a column of water. Wolf 1 2 npt natural gas pressure regulator 3 to 6 water column range 712371 4 4 out of 5 stars 69. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 inch in height at defined conditions. Some gas valves will have a pressure tap on both sides while some only have one on the furnace manifold side.
The minimum gas supply pressure must be 1 water column 0 036 psi or 249 pa or 2 5 millibars above the manifold pressure printed on the appliance data plate. 1 psi is equal to 27 71 inches of water column. Locate the pressure tap on the gas valve and unscrew the plug. Water column gas pressure test kit item gpk035 the gpk035 gas pressure test kit is ruggedized for field use and easier to use than a manometer.
How to measure pressure in inches of water column x ultrasonic flow meters animation animation an ultrasonic flow meter is a meter that measures the flow by detecting the action of fluid flow on an ultrasonic beam or ultrasonic pulse. When we measure water column with our tools it is calibrated at atmospheric pressure or the gauge scale instead of the absolute scale. Its diaphragm gauge is calibrated in inches of water column and also shows readings in ounces per square inch. Then screw in your manometer.
The indication of water column is derived from a test setup where a tube of 2 5 cm diameter is placed on a piece of test material. This will usually be between 1 to 3 inches of water column. This is why water column is most often used to measure pressures under 1 psi. At a temperature of 4 c 39 2 f pure water has its highest density 1000 kg m 3.
The demonstration is carried out by filling a graduated cylinder that has th. Digital gas pressure gauge with 1 4 npt bottom connector and rubber protector by uharbour 0 200psi accuracy 1 f s. At that temperature and assuming the standard acceleration of gravity 1 inaq is approximately 249 082 pascals. Measureman 2 steel gas pressure test gauge assembly 3 4 fnpt connection 0 30 psi kpa 3 2 3 accuracy.
The water column test this test measures the resistance of a fabric to water pressure. Turn the gas off. The results of the test are expressed in mm of a water column or mm schmerber the name of the textile manufacturer charles edouard schmerber who created this measuring tool. These low pressures are most often read using a manometer or a magnahelic gauge.
