anton analyser not reading correctly?

[MP plumb]

i done a gas service today and i used the anton to do a tightness test. i went though the motion of the let by, then stabilisation then the tightness,and all was fine until it got to the tightness... i was about a min in when suddenly it completly dropped to a minus. I redone the test, and all was fine, could my analyser be faulty?
btw, aparantly no one had turned anything on whilst i was testing.

no one had turned anything on , HA if i had a dime for every , never mind

what about boiler kicking in ora hot tap if its a combi

 

[CMairiD]

Ditto Bod. Someone tried to ignite.

 

[MP plumb]

there was only 2 people in the house, and one of them was in kitchen with me... the other, im not sure, but i turned boiler off so the pilot light was off, so even if they did turn tap on, nothing would of happened. if it was a leak, the let by and stabilisation would of failed, surley?

...dont call me shirley..

(ok, rubbish joke)

 

[Barry98]

ok but can we call you Cinderella , did it pass when you did the test again, and i say this because ive done i myself but the hose didnt come loose on the bottom of the anton did it

 

[MP plumb]

you can call me cinderella when u guess my shoe size?!!... and when you come along with your glass coach and 'dog alike' horses? yes it passed the second time on tightness, but i didnt touch the tube, i just reset it and tried again because i didnt beleive the first reading.

Size 3-4

 

[MP plumb]

[MP plumb]

[Barry98]

Ghee was going to say 5 too lol

 

[MP plumb]

bo, if only u did say that, you could of been my prince charming! oh la la
but back to the question...?

 

[PlumbersMate]

love your banter claireplumb, nice to see someone who don't take themselves too seriously

 

[MP plumb]

bu dm bum, tusssh

 

[Barry98]

Defo a plumber with that sense of humour you'll go far , I'd say see how you get on over next few then send back for checking

Your first mistake was buying a Anton.:hammer: Kane rules!

You second, was not using a good old U-Gauge. They never fail.

 

[MP plumb]

grahamM, come april, every one will need the CPA1 if you are to work on the boilers so a good old u gauge isnt going to be good enough. 'Get with the programe!' x

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

u gauge in my book will still be good enough for the TT cpa1 only requires the FGA of a appliance not a TT BTW Claire i also have a anton and hose fit is pants IMHO watch my mate bod he has a foot fetish LOL

 

[dancinplumba]

fga for fga, u gauge for tt i my book

 

[Mike Jackson]

I don't trust any form of electronic manometer. U gauge (or J gauge) every time for me, I can see if it develops a fault and there's no batteries to run out.

What has CPA1 got do do with carrying out a TT with a trusty old U-Guage that does not require calibrating annually and balancing to atmos. pressure?

 

[MP plumb]

huff... do i stand corrected then?

pants

only a foot fetish ei? nails painted or naturelle?!!

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

old skool innit a u gauge is simple never lies

 

[MP plumb]

ok, ok i get it! you all like a u-gauge! so are you saying i need to go back to that? and only use the anton for the flue gas?

 

[dancinplumba]

huff... do i stand corrected then?

pants

only a foot fetish ei? nails painted or naturelle?!!

pants !!! thats for a different thread

 

[dancinplumba]

ok, ok i get it! you all like a u-gauge! so are you saying i need to go back to that? and only use the anton for the flue gas?

absolutely

 

[CMairiD]

I'm a big time gadget girl; however, for routine tightness tests, u gauge all the way. If I had something strange I wanted to document, might throw the analyser on for a print out.
