HydroKit® Testing without Collecting a Sample
Although a very good and simple water detector, the Velcon HydroKit® has one weakness; the fuel sample must be taken in a jar. This results in a potential mess; the operator must first have a clean, dry container, and then dispose of the excess sample and store the jar in a safe place.
Not any more! The Gammon Closed Loop HydroKit® Tester eliminates sample containers! All you need to handle is the HydroKit® test tube itself and the fuel sample is never exposed, even to the atmosphere. Patent pending.
Saves time, eliminates waste fuel and eliminates the chance for spillage.
Operation
- 1
During system fuel flow, operate the self-closing valve for a few seconds to flush the inlet line and fill the Tester with a representative sample of fuel from your system. The flush fuel goes automatically to the recovery tank or back to storage.
- 2
Remove dust cover, place the HydroKit® tube into the bottom of the tester and push up. This automatically opens an internal vent valve and the vacuum in the tube draws in the fuel sample.
- 3
HydroKit® fills correctly in a couple of seconds. Remove and then replace dust cover.
- 4
Evaluate color change of powder in the tube.
