Portable Air-Compressor Tester 便携式空气压缩机测试仪 Within the operations and maintenance activities of the natural gas industry – and many other industries – the air compressor is often the key component of the operation. Without properly maintained and calibrated compressors, cost and productivity are at risk. However, compressor testing at the job site, away from a maintenance center, has been impossible in most situations. Recognizing the need, KeySpan Energy sponsored Gas Technology Institute (GTI) in the development of a portable air-compressor tester. 在天然气工业和很多其他工业中的运行操作和维护工作中，空气压缩机是不可缺少的关键设备。没有适当的维护和校准的压缩机，成本和生产效率就存在风险。尽管这样，在大多数情况下，在工作地点的压缩机测试都是远离维护中心。考虑到需要，KeySpan Energy资助GTI进行便携式空气压缩机测试仪的开发。 The portable air-compressor tester allows for rapid performance evaluations in the field. Objective The KeySpan/GTI objective is to design, fabricate, and field test a low-cost, easily portable air-compressor tester for utility and other applications. By allowing for sophisticated, but routine, testing on site, operations will be more efficient and less costly. On-site testing helps to ensure that air-powered (pneumatic) tools operate safely, reliably, and at their optimal efficiencies. Testing data could be used to make decisions on the replacement or repair of hoses, connections, compressors, or engine controls. 目的 KeySpan和GTI的共同目的是为公用行业和其它应用，设计、建造和现场测试一个低成本、易于携带的空气压缩机测试仪。仪器必须满足在站点一般和特殊的需要，操作运行应该高效和廉价。站点测试帮助确认气动（空气的）工具操作的安全性、可靠性和最佳效率。测试数据被用于决定更换或修理软管、连接件、压缩机或引擎控制等。 Background Inefficient or improperly maintained compressors and leaking hoses can lower the performance of pneumatic tools used in the field. While technology has already been developed through GTI and others to measure the effectiveness of the tools, researchers recognized the need for a system to test the air-delivery systems in the field to measure a compressor’s flow rate and pressure. 背景 效果不好的或不合适的维护压缩机和有泄漏的软管都降低在现场使用的气动工具的作用。随着技术的发展，通过GTI和其它单位评估工具的效率，研究者认为需要一套测试现场空气传输系统的系统，以测量压缩机的流速和压力。 Approach GTI rese
