CONT

R. F. Power and V. S. W. R. Indicator Portable Tester... manufacturer :Air Canada. Use : To indicate forward or reflected power, when connected between transceiver and antenna.... [This] Tester is a device for measuring R. F. Power and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR) of coaxial transmission lines. The tester when connected in series with the transmission line between the transmitter and the antenna will indicate the power transferred in the forward direction and the reflected power in the reverse direction. It has a frequency range of 0. 5 to 225 MHz.

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
  • Heating
CONT

Burner Efficiency Tests and Adjustments... A smoke spot tester is used to measure the soot content of flues gases. The serviceman will adjust the air intake band on the burner until a visually smokeless flame is produced in the combustion chamber. The probe of the smoke testing apparatus is inserted through the hole in the flue pipe and a flue gas sample is drawn through a piece of filter paper. The resulting soot mark on the paper is compared in intensity to a standard chart. The chart shows measurements labelled 0 to 9 and most residential oil furnaces can burn cleanly enough for a 0 to 1 rating... a number 2 smoke is ideal.
