Now You Know!
The Truth Teller: End of the hose PSI/GPM Flow Meter and Nozzle Duplicator.
Know how much GPM and PSI any jetter 2-26 GPM is producing at the nozzle under full load!
(The same system we use to determine what the actual pump GPM is @ full PSI and how much PSI is loss through the system and hose! For years it was difficult to know the truth, not anymore)
Here is what you get!
- Flow & PSI Meter system captures nozzle PSI, then 100% of nozzle water, and sends it through a flow meter, for total nozzle GPM produced
- Test you own nozzles or use the nozzle duplicator to see what your system is really capable of!
- Adapters to test 1/4,3/8, and 1/2" hose and nozzles
What you can learn testing nozzles:
- How much GPM and PSI is at any nozzle @ any system PSI up to 4000 PSI, 2-26 GPM
- How much PSI is loss through the system and hose on the way to the nozzle
- Does the nozzle actually produce the stated GPM/PSI
- Is my system under powered and are the nozzles hiding it
Learn Valuable Info with the Nozzle Duplicator:
- See what your system will actually produce in nozzle GPM and PSI at full power or any power setting
- Does the pump actually do what it says at low and full PSI (many pumps lose as much as 15% flow @ full PSI)
- How much nozzle PSI is lost as GPM increases through the hose
- How much can I increase nozzle PSI by lowering the GPM though the hose, reducing friction loss
- Is my hose ID (inside dimensions) reducing nozzle PSI too much
- Is it worth it to increase hose to the next size, potentially increasing nozzle PSI
- Is my nozzle PSI to low to be effective
- How much GPM can be added to your most efficient cleaning PSI to increase productivity
- Learn what the best orifice size for your system is for maximum flushing or cutting power, or the best balance of both
Useful Rules of Water Flow Through Hose or Pipe:
- The pressure drop through a hose or pipe directly correlates to a given GPM flowing through it regardless of actual pipe or hose pressure.
- More GPM causes increased PSI loss through the same size and length of hose.
- For more GPM at the nozzle or hose exit, you have three choices: increase the hose size, increase the inlet pressure by more unit horsepower or pump GPM, or lower resistance by increasing nozzle size.
- The more water is pumped through a hose, the higher the PSI at the entrance or equipment gauge point, and the lower it is at the exit or nozzle point.
Useful Testing Tips:
- Test at full engine load RPM with no bypass going back to the tank. (Unloader turned clockwise until PSI doesn’t rise anymore or max PSI is reached) (Most gas engines should not run lower than 3200 RPM under load or engine damage may occur.)
- If the GPM you are looking for is not @ the pump it will never be @ the nozzle.
- Increased GPM/PSI can be mimicked by smaller nozzle size, thereby increasing gauge pressure, but reducing GPM! Use this kit to Know Your Flow!
