AccuTools BluVac Micron Gauge

[gravity]

how are u guys attaching to the bluvac? a hose, 1/4" swivel? tonight i brazed 2 pressure taps onto a piece of 3/8 copper. capped off one end and hooked the other end to my shraider tool. off the shraider tool i hooked up the bluvac and a 3/8x1/4 hose and vacuumed down. i got it to 60microns and blanked off the shraider tool. it slowly rised to 450 before i left. im wondering if my fittings are leaking that i hooked up to the bluvac. right now im using a 1/4" flare swivel that goes to a tee that has a shraider depressor in it. will see how many microns its at tomm morning

I do not yet have a way to blank off the system accurately.

The problem with performing a blank-off test using a vacuum pumps blank-off valve is that you still have residual moisture inside your hoses (and hopefully they are not permeating in a vacuum!), as well as exposure to a small amount of the vacuum pump oil (which likely has moisture). Additionally, every connection, gasket, etc. will contribute to the vacuum rise.

Either connect your gauge to a port on the system as far from the vacuum pump as possible, or use a vacuum-rated valve core removal tool with a side access port so that your blank off is testing only the system (and your core tool and micron gauge).

Chris if enough guys wanted one would you please make a core remover with a 1/4" female connection in stead of the male connection for these type of gauges that have a male flare fitting.

It would probably be more cost-effective to get a female-to-female connector, and some vacuum gauges even come with those as part of the package.

Thats one more connection I don't want to be looking after.
FWIW it seems all the micron gauges worth a dang have a 1/4 male connection and IMO is better since it will need hardly any maintenance and will keep your gauge in service with options.

Chris FYI I would buy it.

I was pumping down a large VRF system today. The instructions said to connect to the liquid and hot gas lines and view the suction line for progress ( 3 pipe system ).

I used the Bluevac to measure pump and a Thermal analog to measure the suction. After an hour I saw no progress on the suction pipe and was ready to start cutting pipes. I then decided to place the Bluevac on the suction pipe and see what happened. The Bluevac showed progress that the analog did not ( high end ). This thing paid for itself at least 2 times over today.

The " high end resolution " saved my butt today ( I bought it for the low end ).New tools , new information....go figure.

lol the bluvac has caused me to up my evacuation method .. I just been to busy I haven't made it over to johnstone to buy what I need for my setup .. none of the uniteds in my area have what I'm looking for or id be set

joeyd your awesome tool made rses magazine on the new tools & test instruments page ... but the image of the product is backwards & upside down ... its a good look for u guys anyways! great product

Obviously, the BluVac made the editors flip...

-or-

The BluVac has turned the world of evacuation upside down (and backwards)...

-or-

The picture is correct, its just the BluVac makes everything else look backwards...

Sorry, my really bad attempt at humor....please accept it as such!

Hows that patent going Joey? Im dying to know what makes this so much better then all the other stuff out there..

Im finally giving in. Ill be ordering one this week from Tru Tech. I hate that I need to have the latest and greatest but this just seems to be so different then everything out there. I will be making videos when I get it in to compare to the thermal, inficon piolet, YJ, CPS Vg200..


Thanks for your dedication..

Sorry, Pascone10, you're in for a long wait...getting an application through the USPTO takes years! And even then, I'd still be careful as to what I divulge. It's not in my best interest to give my competitors hints.

Suffice it to say that, historically, there have been issues that have plagued the performance of micron gauges that the BluVac technology solves. It really does what I say it does, and now there are a lot of independent techs out there that recognize the improvements.

And thank you for your vote of confidence. I am sure you will be pleased. If you have any problems or questions with your unit, please call me at the office...I would be happy to hear from you.
