flowmeter tests
1. Open the O

cylinder valve or connect an O

pipeline.
2. Rotate the flow control clockwise (decrease) to shut off the flow. The ball
should rest at the bottom of the flow tube and not move.
3. Rotate the flow control counterclockwise (increase). The ball should rise
immediately after rotation is begun. It should rise smoothly and steadily
with continued counterclockwise rotation. When a desired flow is set, the
ball should maintain in a steady position.
4. Rotate the flow control clockwise to shut off the flow.
Flow Accuracy Test
Note:
To check flow accuracy, be sure that the flow test device is capable of
measuring 0 to 15 L/min with an accuracy of ±2% of reading.
1. Connect the flowmeter outlet to the flow test device.
2. Adjust the flowmeter so the cccceee
ennn
ntttteeeerrrr of the ball aligns with the selected test
point (observe that the ball maintains a steady position for 10 seconds).
3. The test device reading should be between the limits shown for each of the
selected settings in the table below.
4. Rotate the flow control clockwise to shut off the flow.
5. Close the O
2
cylinder valve or disconnect the O
2
pipeline.
