5 MAINTENANCE
The Elcometer 108 is designed to give many years reliable service under normal operating and storage
conditions. The gauge does not contain any user-serviceable components. In the unlikely event of a fault,
the Elcometer 108 should be returned to Elcometer or your local Elcometer supplier. The warranty will be
invalidated if the instrument has been opened.
5.1 CALIBRATION
The calibration of the gauge can be verified in the field using the Elcometer 1970 PFCV - Portable Field
Calibration Verification Unit. This unit connects to the Elcometer 108 Gauge. Turn the handle of the
Elcometer 108 to apply pressure and compare the reading on the gauge with that of the gauge on the
Elcometer 1970 PFCV.
Regular calibration checks over the life of the gauge are a requirement of quality management procedures
such as ISO 9000 and other standards. For checks and certification contact Elcometer or your local
Elcometer supplier.
5.2 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
• Operate the instrument at least once a month.
• Do not store the instrument in a pressurised condition.
• Inspect the hose and couplings regularly for oil leaks.
• Lightly oil the handle thread occasionally.
• Smear oil on the pin to prevent adhesive sticking to it during testing. If adhesive does become stuck,
push tissue into the coupling and remove the adhesive from the pin using fine sandpaper or similar.
Carefully remove the tissue and any debris from the coupling.
