Hydrosteel function test instructions

To carry out the function test you must have the function test kit displayed above
The Hydrosteel function test is divided into two parts. The first is to check the sample flow. The second is to
check the hydrogen sensor calibration.
Flow test
The Hydrosteel flow is important to the accuracy of flux measurements. The function test uses a variable
area flow meter to check the correct flow is being drawn into the instrument. The flow is determined by
reading the tube markings from the middle of the float point. The readings should be between 40 and 55 for
a unit that has a correct flow. The flow meter has to be on a level surface for correct operation.
1) Switch the Hydrosteel 6000 analyser on and let it complete the stabilisation count down and zero.
2) Ensure that the flow meter is on a level surface.
