Model 3681 Depth Gauge Chamber

Model 3681 Depth Gauge Chamber
Description:

The Model 3681 Depth Gauge Test Chamber is used to stimulate the operating conditions necessary for accurate testing of depth gauges used in various military and commercial applications. Constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum, this hermetically sealed chamber incorporates a mounting fixture compatible with Type 1156 depth gauges in compliance with MIL-G-18067C specifications.

A large acrylic window in the test chamber end permits convenient observation of the unit under test, and an electrical feed-through enables electrical connections inside the chamber. The chamber also incorporates a pneumatic feed through that can be used for supplying pressure to the unit under test.

Safety features include an interlock that prevents the door from being opened when the chamber is pressurized and a relief valve that automatically vents excess pressure.

OPERATION

Use of this equipment is described in NAVAIR Instrument Calibration Procedure 17-20MP45. Most current version is available through GIDEP, (Government-Industry Data Exchange Program). Access to this database is through www.gidep.org.

WARNING

Do not use a pressure source with a flow rate greater than 35L/min. Do not pressurize chamber above 15 PSIG.

  • 1. Position chamber vertically and remove door, Fig.1, Item 1.
  • 2. Secure depth gauge between mounting pins and tie down rods, Fig.1, Item 2, with dial facing toward window.
  • 3. Connect test hose Fig.1, Item 3, to depth gauge.
  • 4. Make electrical connection to the depth gauge, as required, using the circular connector Fig.1, Item 4.
  • 5. Install chamber door, noting orientation of lid alignment arrow, Fig.1, Item 6. Ensure that lid sealing o-ring Fig.1, Item 5, is installed and lightly lubricated with vacuum grease.
  • 6. Tighten the door clamping knobs securely, Fig.1, Item 7. Tighten knobs two at a time and opposite from one another to ensure lid is evenly tightened.
  • 7. Tip chamber to its horizontal operating position.
  • 8. Follow the NAVAIR Instrument Calibration Procedure No. 17-20MP-45 for further connections and procedures for calibrating depth gauges

NOTE: Orientation of lid is important and should only be installed with the Pressure/Vacuum Gauge at the top, opposite cover handle, using the alignment arrow, Fig.1, Item 6.
