How to test a propane regulator

time2012/07/24

Connection pressure gauges

1.Remove adjustment before the plastic cap.

2.Attach manometer tube the long end of the plastic cover from the power outlet hidden.

Propane tank valve is open, let the pressure build-up.

3.Read see the back of the board of the manometer tube how many inches of water moving up. Pressure gauge connected to the Commission will decide how many inches of water to move up. It is a U-tube manometer will be used the rest of the water along the zero line remains unchanged, the increase in pressure, propane regulator applications.

4.Remove pull the outlet tube is no longer a pressure gauge and replace the regulator's plastic cover.

Adjust the flow - pressure test

As mentioned above, in accordance with the instructions power supply socket test water 1.Install water manometer.

Household appliances of all pilots 2.Relight and operation of all equipment at full load using propane.

3. The pressure of the check, read your gauge, all equipment is in full operating capacity. You can find the appropriate amount from your propane tank pressure on manufacturers. Each brand and size of the tank there are all kinds of pressure specifications.

4.Do Do not attempt to adjust your regulator, if it fails to provide the necessary equipment when working at full capacity flow pressure. Low-flow pressure is equivalent to the leakage of a propane system, but this test does not provide information leakage. If this is the case, then you are a professional propane system to determine the location of the leak.

5.Install a larger regulation, no leaks, but propane Gas Cylinders system strain. Pressure on the system will be obvious, if the pressure on the gauge is less than required. Check the propane system manufacturer to official pressure required for your system, but usually a pressure gauge should not have more than 14 inches of water or less than 11 inches reading. If the water can not be moved to 11 inches, then a larger adjustment may be necessary, and can help home appliances working at full capacity.

Adjust the lock test

Turn off the electrical control.

2.Shut turn off all equipment valves.

3. Open the container valve, in order to maintain system pressure. Open this value, the pressure should be a slight increase in pressure gauge, and then stop. The pressure should go into "lock", which means that pressure will increase, stop, and then remain unchanged. Pressure, in essence, locked.

4.Monitor one minute, to see how much water pressure gauge rise, the pressure, if it does not past the initial increase in the locking period to increase. You do not want a higher increase of more than 30% of the pressure. For example, if your normal pressure within 11 inches of water, and then lock up the pressure should be no greater than 14.3 inches.

5.Replace regulation, if more than 30% or lock the pressure in the testing process, if you fail to lock the pressure increase.
