SUPERFLOW INTROS NEW TEST BENCH
A new, professional, computerized flowbench, designed for engineers who develop everything from intake tracts, exhaust media to highperformance, two-cycle and four-cycle engines is now available through SuperFlow Technologies Group.
The computer-controlled SF-1020-SB (SuperBench) — SuperFlow’s most advanced flowbench is designed for demanding engineers and professional racers. The SF-1020-SB measures and records air flow at OEM engineering accuracy … faster than any other flowbench on the market. It easily switches to intake or exhaust flow direction. (Intake to test intake valves, air cleaners and carburetors; exhaust to test exhaust valves, exhaust systems and two-cycle cylinders).
“New generation” electronics provides accurate, easy-to-use, digital airflow measurement and control; takes pressure and temperature measurements; handles all corrections; and displays digital read-outs for corrected flow, test pressure and velocity probe in both U.S. and metric units. WindowsTM-based software automatically sends flow data through its serial port to a PC. (This allows you to view flow data graphically, record, store, print, and also retrieve old tests to overlay and compare with current ones.)
The SF-1020-SB automatically regulates test pressure based on keypad input. Testing is generally performed at 50″ to 65″ (130–165 cm) of water test pressure. (However the SF-1020-SB is capable of providing fast, accurate, repeatable results at any test pressure between 5″ and 70″).
A unique variable flow orifice adjusts flow range between 25–1000 cfm based on electronic input to fit valve size or 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.
