Checking burner pressures with analyser/manometer?

[macka09]

As the title really folks. Who uses what to check pressures and carrying out tightness tests? I’m not to keen with the analysers to be honest. I was checking a burner pressure recently and with the analyser it was fluctuating up and down but with the u gauge it was solid?

Analyser for burner pressures and regin manometer for tightness testing.

Dont like using analyser as trying to get the right pressure can be tricky at times.

I prefer a standard water gauge to be honest.

Which make is that one?

 

[townfanjon]

Only use Anton for analysing ,
Reign gauge for pressures

 

[macka09]

I like using an analyser as you get to print all your findings out but they can be a pain in the arse with tightness testing

Abbirko. Had it a long time. I know Hayes make the same but with plastic tube (you can buy glass) and I am sure Monument used to make them but that could well be a false memory.

I use my Kane for everything

kane dont forget you wont be able to see the same movement on the u gauge pm is half a mbar

kane, if 2 minutes, Kane and stopwatch if its longer

anton digital guage used digital since the 90's when i went onto commercial saves blowing the water out of a 36" utube have used analyser occasionally for pressure but too much messing about.

I use Analyser for all readings, utube lives in shed toolbox.

Got 2 testo Bluetooth manometers, link to phone, see both at same time (meter/boiler), can save/print. Also shows graph/time to check for spikes. Also got 2 testo pipe thermometers that link to same app/graph etc.

All small, fit in analyser box.
