Sealant Delivery
Hypregun-Plus 5Q sealant delivery is affected by the loading
pressure, ambient temperature, and the viscocity of the sealant
being pumped. The chart below provides laboratory test data
which illustrates sealant delivery under common operating
conditions. Also provided in the chart is comparison data
illustrating the improved performance of the Hypregun-Plus 5Q
over the Hypregun.
The Hypregun-Plus 5Q has also been tested for durability.
After 100 hours of continuous operation at atmospheric pressure
the Hypregun-Plus 5Q performed flawlessly.
Injecting sealant at ambient temperatures much lower than
that represented by the chart is accomplished by using the
practical approach of keeping the gun and sealant in a warm
place and only exposing them to extremely cold conditions
during valve injection.
