Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of a tester designed for anti-siphon valves, which are safety devices used to prevent siphoning in oil carrying pipes or withdrawal systems. The tester is suitable for diaphragm and piston type anti-siphon valves and is compatible with systems using standard filter combinations.
Benefits:
  • Reliable testing of diaphragm and piston type anti-siphon valves.
  • Simple assessment of the safety of the entire system.
  • Fast testing capability, especially with AFRISO fuel oil filters with a drain system.
Application: The tester is used for function tests of built-in safety equipment against siphoning in oil systems. It is compatible with fuel oil EL, diesel fuel, biofuel, and biodiesel. The document recommends replacing filter cups without a drain system to facilitate easy testing.
Technical Specifications:
  • Tester dimensions: 180 x 286 x 71 mm; Case dimensions: 395 x 106 x 295 mm.
  • Pressure range: -0.6 / 0 bar.
  • Connection: G3⁄8 with 60° cone.
  • Operating temperature: Ambient -25/+40 °C, Storage -25/+60 °C.
Testing Procedure:
  • Piston Type Valves: Create a vacuum in the test cup, seal it, and measure the vacuum. The anti-siphon function is confirmed if the criterion [pPgauge + pg,max - p3] < 0 is met.
  • Diaphragm Type Valves: Similar procedure as piston type, but the criterion is simply pPgauge < 0.
Calculation Formula: The document provides a formula to determine the effectiveness of the anti-siphon function using pressure gauge readings and hydrostatic pressure calculations based on tank levels.
Conclusion: The tester provides a fast and reliable method to ensure the correct operation of anti-siphon valves, which are critical for preventing siphoning in oil systems. Regular testing every five years is recommended to maintain safety standards.

Manifold for anti-siphon valves-1

Tester for anti-siphon valves Fast and easy function test of "safety equipment against siphoning." Your benefits R eliable tests of all diaphragm type/piston type anti-siphon valves S imple check and assessment of the safety of the complete system S uitable for all systems with standard filter combinations ast test of systems with AFRISO fuel oil filters with drain system: F Plug hose onto the oil filter cup and you are ready for the test Application Tester for function tests of built-in "safety equipment against siphoning" (diaphragm type or piston type anti-siphon valves) in oil carrying pipes or withdrawal systems. Test can be performed at all systems with standard filter combinations. If no AFRISO filter cup with test and drain system is available, it is sufficient to replace the existing filter cup with the filter cup of the Safety equipment against siphoning must be checked for correct operation at least every 5 years according to the approval. tester. AFRISO recommends to replace all filter cups without drain system so that the fuel oil filter can be drained rapidly and the function test performed easily during servicing. Suitable for tests with the following media: Fuel oil EL (DIN 51603-1) and diesel fuel (EN 590) as well as biofuel (EN 14213) and biodiesel (EN 14214) with up to 100 % FAME.

Manifold for anti-siphon valves-2

Description The tester for "safety equipment against siphoning" allows to quickly come to a sound conclusion concerning the correct operation of anti-siphon valves. Mounting is simple: Screw the filter cup of the tester into the fuel oil filter of the facility (not necessary in the case of oil filter cups with test and drain system), plug the hose into the tester drain unit, connect an oil suction pump to the other end of the tester and you are ready for testing. For the test, a vacuum is generated which Function test at system with piston type anti-siphon valve (KAV from AFRISO) sucks in oil;...
