VF uses Superflow
The computer-controlled SF-1020 flowbench is
SuperFlow’s most advanced, most powerful flowbench.
Designed for demanding engineers and professional
racers, the SF-1020 or ProBench, can measure
and record air flow at OEM engineering accuracy
faster than any other flowbench on the market.
Flow computer—SuperFlow’s FlowCom flow computer
is built into the front of the SF-1020. This accurate,
easy-to-use digital airflow measurement
system takes pressure and temperature measurements
on the flowbench, does all the corrections,
and shows flow on its precision display.
WinFlow—FlowCom can automatically send all
flow data through its serial port to a PC with
WinFlow software. With WinFlow, you can view
flow data graphically, record, store and print it. You
can retrieve old tests to overlay and compare with
current ones.
Flow direction—The SF-1020 can be easily switched
to either intake or exhaust flow direction. Set it to
intake to test intake valves, air cleaners and carburetors.
Change the flow direction to exhaust to test
exhaust valves, exhaust systems and two-cycle
cylinders.
Test pressure—As you run flow tests, the SF-1020
automatically regulates the test pressure based on
your keypad input. All you do is adjust the valve
and record the flow reading at each point.
Most testing with the SF-1020 is performed
at 50" to 65" (130–165 cm) of water test
pressure. The SF-1020 will provide fast,
accurate, repeatable results at any test
pressure between 5" and 70" (13–175
cm).
Flow measurement—The SF-1020’s
unique variable flow orifice adjusts flow
range between 25–1000 cfm (12–470 l/s)
based on your FlowCom input to fit the
valve size or valve lift. You can run all
your tests with a single setting or change
the range to obtain extended accuracy.
Throughout the range, flow can be read
within 0.25%. The variable flow range
increases the resolution of flow measurement
as compared to a single-range
system. Changes of 0.5% are readily
detectable.
Calibration—Your flowbench will be
tested before it leaves SuperFlow and
comes with its own calibration sheet to
ensure the accuracy of your tests. The included
standard test orifice system verifies
the calibration of the flowbench at
any time, now or in the future. |
