How to use the RYCO proof test rig – Machine Operation

In this second part of this series on impulse testing, we discuss how to use the proof test rig to safely test your hydraulic equipment set up. Machine Operation Connect the assembly Prepare the connection. Select an adaptor to suit your hose assembly and fit it to the rig. Ensure you're not damaging any thread at this point. Fit your hose assembly to the rig. Use two spanners to tighten the hex, so as to not damage any parts. NOTE: When fitting an adaptor, it is vital that the connection is leak free. When the rig creates a high pressure, it does so with a minimal amount of fluid. A small leak will limit the amount of pressure that can be produced. Purge the hose Leave the other end of the hose uncapped. Open up the High Pressure valve by turning anti-clockwise, and open up the pre-fill valve by turning it to the "'on" position. Allow the fluid to vent through the hose. Cap the hose assembly Elevating the hose will ensure that all of the air is purged from ...
