Abstract
An air system analyzer device comprising a flowmeter having a plurality of selectable output ports of respective diameters and a plurality of float members selectively mountable within the flowmeter, together with a method for calibrating the output of a low volume pump and the efficiency of air delivery by the pump through an air system supplied by the pump.
Claims4
A method of analyzing the performance of a low volume air pump using an air system analyzer device having a plurality of selectable output ports of respective diameters and a plurality of float members selectively mountable within said device;
- said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) connecting the output of said pump to supply air through said air system analyzer device;
- (b) selecting that one of said float members which will provide the maximum range of movement within said device;
- and
- (c) reading the flow rate obtainable with said float member for each of said selectable output ports as an indication of the performance of said pump.
The method of claim 1 comprising the further steps of:
- (a) recording said readings;
- (b) subsequently repeating the steps of claim 5 to obtain additional readings;
- and
- (c) comparing said additional readings with said recorded readings as an indication of continued pump performance.
