ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLSSection 4CALIBRATING THE PRESSURE TEST KIT(SE-2239) USING THE DWYERSLACK TUBE® MANOMETER (Continued)4.Read manometer as follows: (Continued)Use the conversion factor one inch of mercuryequals 0.4912 psi to determine the actualpressure in pounds per square inch.15.15 x 0.4912 = 7.44 psiRead the gauge pressure again to determine ifany air leakage has reduced the gauge pressurefrom six psi. If the gauge pressure still reads 6psi, we have determined that the gauge reads1.44 psi lower than the actual pressure.Record the gauge pressure, correspondingmercury manometer reading, and convert themanometer reading to psi for each gauge psifrom 6 to 22 psi. Repeat the calibration test from6 psi to 22 psi to double check for air leaks andaccuracy of gauge and manometer readings.GaugePSIInchesActualReadingof MercuryConversionPSI67.65+ 7.50=15.15x0.4912= 7.4415.1578.65+ 8.45=17.10x0.4912= 8.3917.1089.70 + 9.45 =19.15 x 0.4912 = 9.4019.15910.80+ 10.40 =21.20 x 0.4912 = 10.4121.20From the above information, make up a correction chartfor the gauge and place it on the gauge panel.Gauge PSI ReadingActual PSI67.478.489.4910.4Guideline intake manifold pressures for each enginehorse power rating are printed on the "PERFORMANCEDATA GUIDELINE" pages at the rear ofeach Engine Section. Each pressure has a +1.5 psirange. For example, the DTI-466B rated at 210 HP at2600 RPM pressure of 125 + 10 kPa (18 + 1.5 psi) at2600 RPM. An engine operating with 117-138 kPa (17-20 psi) pressure will produce the rated horsepower at theflywheel. Using this calibration procedure to test theaccuracy of the 0-30 psi gauge before measuring enginepressure will assist you in evaluatingengineperformance. Using an accurately calibrated boostgauge along with the diagnostic procedures in thismanual, will allow you to determine if the engine isproducing rated horsepower and eliminate unnecessaryengine component changes.ROBERT BOSCH SMOKE SAMPLING KIT(SE-2580)DESCRIPTIONThe smoke sampling kit (Figure 14) is used for readingsmoke density at the exhaust stack at rated load andspeed only to determine acceptability of smoke emission.Figure 14. Smoke Sampling KitOPERATIONIn the smokemeter, a sampling pump draws off a certainamount of exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe of therespective engine and then sucks it through a filter paperdisk.
