No problems at all... just preventive maintenance. I've done this test many times with vibe pump machines and apparently a similar volume should be sought after in rotary pumps based on what I've been reading. Check out the links I found a bit ago... hope it's OK to post links here!<br />

I hadn't even heard of that test until this thread. Thanks for sharing.<br />
<br />
I'd just assumed that if I saw 9 bar on the dispense pressure gage that the pump was working fine. Any thoughts on the validity of this assumption?<br />

Shadow, are you experiencing some sort of problem with your machine or is this more of an academic discussion?
