Radiator Flow Test Machine
Part No. 8601, NSN 4910-00-075-2395, MIL-F-45955A (AL)
The Radiator Flow Test Machine P/N 8601 meets all
requirements of military specification MIL-F-45955A (AL). It is completely self contained
and requires only connection to a source of shop electrical power to place in operation. A
power cable complete with three prong grounding plug is permanently attached to the
machine for this purpose. The unit consists of a water storage tank, a pumping
system, a flow measuring system, a support and workstation, and the required hose adapters
for connection to different size radiators. The complete unit is mounted on swiveling
casters. The flow rate is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 120 gallons per minute by means
of a panel mounted control valve. The machine is constructed from heavy 10
gauge steel, is double welded and is coated externally and internally with a water-resistant epoxy coating. Flow
measurement is accomplished by a digital panel meter with a calibrated accuracy of plus or
minus 3 percent of scale between 5 and 120 gallons per minute. Higher
flows available on request.
