The PSI Test Kits (type H) are instruments to measure pressure and flow of oil and other petroleum fluids in hydraulic systems. They are available in versions for water, water-based fluids, phosphate ester fluids and air or other gases. They are very easy to install. These test kits provide direct reading of pressure and flow rate at relative insensitivity of high pressure, impurities, turbulent flow or position in a system.

Flow measurement: from 0.5 through 560 lpm; maximum pressure: up to 414 bar.

The Hedland test kits type H are variable area instruments. A precision machined, sharp-edged orifice located within the piston assembly, forms an annular opening with the contoured metering cone. The piston assembly carries a cylindrical magnet that is magnetically coupled to an external flow indicator that moves precisely, in direct response to movement of the piston. A calibrated spring opposes flow in the forward direction. This spring decreases viscosity sensitivity and allows the flow meter to be used in any position.

The PSI Test Kits provide direct reading of pressure and flow rate. The rotatable scale (guard) provides an easy and clear reading. They do not require flow straighteners or special piping. These test kits are available in anodized aluminum and brass options or in stainless body and aluminum piston and cone version. Also, a reverse flow by-pass option is available.
