855® Air Inlet Capture
Capture Air Inlet Opening Values with Ease
Capturing the air inlet opening point on PVBs is now faster and more precise with our Air Inlet Capture feature—exclusively available when using the Mid-West® Instrument 855® digital test kit. The app leverages a custom-built algorithm allowing it to pinpoint the exact opening point with exceptional accuracy. No more juggling your focus between gauge and assembly—Air Inlet Capture handles the precision work, delivering a seamless and efficient testing experience.
CONNECT
Connect the 855® digital test kit at the critical point of the PVB assembly’s air inlet center as required to perform an accurate Air Inlet Capture test.
CAPTURE
Properly bleed the test kit as needed, then reduce the differential pressure to 15 PSID. When ready, tap “Start Capture” in the app and continue bleeding pressure as required to perform an accurate PVB test.
SAVE
The app utilizes a custom-built algorithm to detect the PVB’s opening point by analyzing real-time pressure data from the 855 digital test kit. It then calculates the precise opening point automatically, providing a more accurate and reliable result—eliminating the need to look at two places at once.
