How to Troubleshoot Common Hydrostatic Head Tester Issues?

Hydrostatic Head Tester is an instrument used to test the liquid permeability of fabrics, paper, rolls, and other materials. This instrument uses the principle of a hydraulic static head to measure the liquid permeability of a material by recording the pressure applied above the sample and the liquid pressure accumulated below the sample.

However, Hydrostatic Head Tester can have some problems when using it, such as inaccurate test results or failure to turn on the device. In this article, we'll look at some common Hydrostatic Head Tester problems and how to troubleshoot them.


Problem 1: The test results are inaccurate.


Solution:


1. Check that the Hydrostatic Head Tester is calibrated correctly.


2. Check that the Hydrostatic Head Tester torque sensor and electronic scale are working properly. These devices require regular maintenance and calibration to ensure their accuracy.


3. Check that the test parameters of the test instrument are correct. Parameters should be set before each test to ensure accurate results.


4. Check that the sample is properly prepared. Sample size and thickness should conform to test specifications and sample preparation method should be consistent with routine test.


Problem 2: Hydrostatic Head Tester fails to start.


Solution:


1. Check whether the power socket of the detector is plugged in properly and whether the power supply is normal. If the socket is plugged in but does not respond, replace the power cable.


2. Check whether the battery is drained. If so, replace the battery.


3. Check whether the test instrument is faulty. If the test instrument frequently fails to turn on, it is recommended to send it to the manufacturer for repair.


Problem 3: The test results process is stuck


Solution:


1. Check whether the memory of the detector is full. If yes, clear the device memory.


2. Check whether the internal temperature is higher than the recommended range. If yes, place the test instrument in a cool, dry place and wait until the temperature drops to the recommended test range before testing.


3. Check whether the temperature sensor is damaged or invalid. If this is a problem, replace the temperature sensor piece and re-test it.


To sum up:


Hydrostatic Head Tester is a high precision test instrument that can be used to measure the liquid permeability of paper, non-woven fabric, coil and other materials. If you encounter problems such as inaccurate test results or failure to turn on the test instrument, you can follow the troubleshooting methods provided by us. We recommend that you read the Hydrostatic Head Tester manual carefully before using it to ensure proper setup and use for the highest test accuracy.
