Repair and Maintenance for Concrete Air Meters
Regular repair and maintenance are crucial to ensure the accuracy and longevity of concrete air meters. Here are some tips to help you keep your air meter in good working condition:
-
Cleanliness: Regularly clean the air meter, especially after each use, to prevent concrete residue from building up and affecting the accuracy of the readings. Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe down the surfaces.
-
Calibration: Regularly check and adjust the calibration of the air meter to ensure accurate readings. Use the calibration vessel and inside calibration tube provided with the meter to perform the calibration adjustments.
-
Pump Maintenance: Check the air pump regularly for signs of wear and tear. Replace the pump if necessary, and ensure that the check valve is functioning properly to prevent “o”-ring seal problems.
-
Gauge Maintenance: Check the gauge regularly for signs of damage or wear. Replace the gauge if necessary, and ensure that the calibration adjustments are accurate.
-
Storage: Store the air meter in a dry, protected area when not in use. Avoid exposing the meter to extreme temperatures or humidity.
-
Replacement Parts: Keep a stock of replacement parts, such as clamps, valves, and petcocks, to ensure that the meter can be quickly repaired if necessary.
By following these repair and maintenance tips, you can ensure that your concrete air meter remains accurate and functional, providing you with reliable readings and helping you to produce high-quality concrete.
