The PPH10K Hydraulic Hand Pump provides a hydraulic pressure
source up to 10,000 PSI. A wide variety of pressure media may be used;
distilled water, mineral based hydraulic oil, or up to hydraulic oil 100 (30W).
The seals are Fluorocarbon and the only other non-metallic materials are
plastic. Viscous oils above 30W should not be used.
CAUTION: Hydrocarbon fluids should never be used in oxygen
service applications.
1. Isolate the device to be calibrated. CAUTION: Do not connect to
high pressure sources. Safe operating procedures must be
exercised to avoid personal injury and damage to the calibration
system.
2. Select a fluid compatible with the system and the PPH10K. Remove
the fill cap and fill the reservoir to the fill line. During usage do not
allow the fluid level to drop below 50% of the reservoir capacity.
(Doing so will allow air to be introduced into the test system).
3. Care should be exercised to minimize the total test system volume.
Connect the device(s) to be calibrated to the pump port(s) using
fittings or braided hose with the appropriate pressure ratings.
4. Adjust the vernier control to the mid position and close the needle
bleed valve.
5. Push the stroke limiter into the prime mode to allow the handles to
have maximum travel. With the hose to the device under test open
to air squeeze the handles to begin the priming process. (See figure
1). NOTE: This can take many strokes of the pump depending on
the volume of the system and if the pump has not been used for a
while. It is important to use the full stroke of the handles to make
sure a full charge of hydraulic fluid is pulled from the reservoir with
each stroke.
6. Once the fluid starts to exit the end of the hose connect the hose to
the device to be calibrated and continue to squeeze the handles
until the reference gauge starts to show a sharp rise in the
pressure. At this point squeeze the handles and push the stroke
limiter into the pump mode thereby limiting the stroke of handles.
NOTE: failure to use the stroke limiter will greatly reduce the
mechanical advantage the user has and will limit the maximum
pressure that can be generated with reasonable handle pressure.
7. NOTE: Air in the system should be minimized because it can
effect calibration and high pressure gases can be
dangerous. It may be necessary to "prime" the test system
to eliminate gases. Repeat until bubbles are not seen in the
reservoir.
8. Close the needle valve and squeeze the handles until the
approximate desired pressure is reached. The vernier control can
be used to "fine tune" the pressure. Systems with large volume may
Page 5
require additional bleeding. Continue until all pressure points are
calibrated.
Figure 1.
9. Manipulation of the needle valve, vernier control and the handles
can produce any pressure desired within the PPH10K hand pump
operating range (0 to 10,000 PSI).
10. CAUTION: To prevent personnel injury, the pressure must
be reduced to zero before disconnecting any element of
the system. When the calibration is completed, carefully open the needle valve to release the pressure. NOTE: Opening the needle
valve releases the pressure media into the reservoir. Do not
allow the reservoir to overfill while venting. Store the unit in a
carrying case or another safe location. The PPH10K may be stored
with the operating fluid in the reservoir. It is recommended that the
fluid being utilized be identified so that another potential operator
of the PPH10K will be advised.
WARNING:
• Never use the PPH10K to generate pressure
greater than 10,000 PSI/700 Bar
• Never connect the PPH10K to a pressure source
• The 1/8” FNPT Port should only be used with optional
Relief Valve P/N 1010050
