DIAGNOSTIC TEST POINTS EXPLAINED

Diagnostic test points, also known as diagnostic test ports or test fittings, are an integral part of measuring, monitoring, and testing hydraulic equipment. They are designed to connect under pressure without leaking, allowing operators system access points to analyze and test fluid circuits as well as dram samples, fill, vent, or empty systems if needed. This allows operators to minimize downtime and save money by ensuring that expensive monitoring equipment does not need to be permanently installed. It also ensure that diagnosing and maintenance is done faster, and machinery faces less downtime and remains readily available when needed.

Fluid Sample Allow fluid sampling for preventative maintenance.

Valves, Cylinders, Actuators

Temperature Find out if your system is operating within the correct temperature specifications.

System Pressure Make sure your components are receiving adequate pressure.

Outlet Pressure Test your system for proper working pressure. Use TG08 to thread directly to the test point even against active pressure.

Return Pressure Confirm that there is minimal pressure on your return line. Back pressure can adversely affect system performance.

Operator Safety Use a T101 Micro-Bore Test Point Assembly to ensure the operator is a safe distance from dangerous components.

Inlet Vacuum Ensure your pump is getting the proper feed of oil to prevent cavitation.
