3.2. CDF (LEAK/FLOW CALIBRATOR)
The ATEQ leak/Flow calibrator is a multiple range flow 
meter intended for checking leak testing equipment and 
particularly ATEQ instruments. 
3.3. NEEDLE VALVE
Needle valves are used to verify the leakage limits. These valves 
have an adjustable leak and depending on the model allow 
adjustments of between a few cm3/h to several l/min. 
These valves can be easily misadjusted and therefore require the 
frequent use of some means of checking the setting (ex: Leak 
calibrator ATEQ).
Note: It is strongly recommended that you do NOT leave a needle 
valve permanently connected on a leak detection instrument with 
automatic calibration every "n cycles". 
4. ATEQ 3/2 VALVE (Y-VALVE) 
The ATEQ valve and 
mini valve are 2 
positions, 3 ways 
spring returned, 
pressurized and leak-
tight valves. The valve 
comes with either a 
pneumatic or electric 
pilot.
The choice of a leak tight valve is extremely important when installed in the leak test circuit.
