Condec PIN8010 - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction 3
2.0 Introduction
The PIN8000/PIN8010 pressure intensifier is an electro-mechanical device that can be used in conjunction with
a NIST traceable calibration standard to allow calibrations up to 10,000 PSIG. Each PIN8000/PIN8010 utilizes
Condec’s patented ORION 3A type micro-metering valves and vernier for pressure adjustment and venting. The
unit has two output (test) ports, one input port and three front panel gauges. This allows the operator to monitor
accumulator pressure, regulated input pressure, and intensified output pressure. Two output (test) ports allow one
to be connected to a NIST traceable calibration standard and the other to the device under test (DUT).
The Condec REG 1000 pressure regulator acts as a pressure limiter so that the operator can adjust input system
pressure to 1/10 of the target value. A fill hose, output hose, and output fitting (located within the top cover) are
supplied. A front panel switch provides selection of the desired pump control mode, momentary (jog) or
continuous. For field use, the PIN8000 has an optional 83.3 cubic foot, 2,216 PSI cylinder is available to provide
many hours of use.
The PIN8000 and 19-inch rack-mount version PIN8010 instruments offer a combination of features,
performance, versatility and reliability not previously available in a pressure intensified instrument. Features
include:
• Two output (test) ports for DUT and NIST
standard
• Switch-selectable pressure pump control
mode, momentary (jog) and continuous.
• Pressure monitoring: Three front panel
mounted gauges provide excellent readability.
• Using the Condec REG 1000 pressure
regulator, the maximum system input pressure
is adjusted to slightly above 1/10 desired
value of the full scale range of the device
being tested. By using this technique, the
device that is to be pressurized is fully
p r o t e c t e d f r o m b e i n g i n a d v e r t e n t l y
over-pressurized.
• Compact and self-contained, easily carried
(38 lb.) and operated by only one person.
• Pressure source: nitrogen or clean dry air is
s u p p l i e d b y t h e c u s t o m e r. I n e i t h e r
instrument, the pressure source drives a
pneumatically operated 10 to 1 intensifier
contained within the PIN8000/PIN8010.
Therefore, a 1,000 PSI input is amplified to
10,000 PSI. An optional external supply
cylinder may be purchased that will contain a
volume of 83.3 standard cubic feet of nitrogen
and provide up to 2,216 PSIG of pressure for
calibration and test.
• Simple operation: all controls, indicators and
pressure ports (PIN8000 only) are accessible
from the front panel.
• Safe and clean operation: all pressure
components are made of stainless steel and
proof-tested to at least 150% of maximum
operating pressure. In addition, the system
contains a high-pressure burst disk to protect
both the operator and system components
f r o m h a r m i n t h e e v e n t o f i n a d v e r t e n t
over-pressurization.
In addition to the features listed above, the PIN8000/PIN8010 pressure intensifier is easy to use. Two
micro-metering valves and vernier are provided to control the internally intensified nitrogen, while the output
pressure gauge and customer-supplied calibration standard (connected to one of the output ports) indicates the
magnitude of the applied test pressure. Over-pressure protection is provided through a fully-adjustable Condec
REG 1000 pressure regulator, which is manually set for each new device being tested.

Actual output pressure is controlled through the vernier and micro-metering valves.
