How to find water pressure

Residents of high-rise buildings often enter with municipal services cruel war for quality of the paid services rendered by them. One of them is water supply which employees of housing and public utilities provide not always in the best possible way. For this reason it is better to measure independently water pressure in the crane to check how qualitative the provided services are.

It is required to you

  • - manometer;
  • - nozzle for the manometer;
  • - rubber hose;
  • - collars /

Instruction

1. Use the special device for measurement of pressure – the manometer. On pressure in the crane the residents have most of all questions as at a weak current of water it is impossible to take a shower or to normally wash the dishes. The manometer is the simplest and the device available to everyone for determination of pressure in pipes of hot and cold water in house conditions. By means of it it is possible to execute necessary measurements with a fine precision. At the same time it is necessary to remember that this way will involve small costs: besides the manometer you need several additional tools.

2. Get a special nozzle on the crane, suitable for use with the manometer for water having a scale to 1 kg / see. From a rubber hose cut off two rings of suitable diameter. Surely check integrity of hoses before measurement of pressure.

3. Fix a nozzle on the end of one of rubber pieces and put on it the crane. Since other end of a piece install the manometer union. Attach the end of the second rubber piece of a hose to the second union of the manometer. All places on the union which the hose is put on need to be fixed by the collars corresponding by the size.

4. Fix a nozzle on the crane. Establish the free end of the second hose so that water could not flood the apartment (lower it in a bathtub, etc.). Water needs to be included on a gross head and after that to register (to measure) indications of the manometer.
