(FasTest: Roseville, MN) -- FasTest Inc. announces the FasCal Manifold System for pressure calibration. The manifold supports connections of up to four different devices at the same time, accommodating a wide variety of fitting configurations. The stainless-steel system allows any FasCal connector—for both male and female applications—to be mounted on the manifold quickly and without the use of tape or wrenches. The company’s CalMate connectors for leak-tight connections to sanitary devices can also be mounted on the manifold. The high-pressure FasCal Manifold System is rated up to 10,000 psi, with individual connectors determining the maximum overall system pressure rating.

Traditionally, the calibration engineer would be required to use a thread sealant, wrench, and torque to insert a fitting in each unique test instance. In addition to causing advanced stress or wear on the threads, particles of tape sealant could break off with this method, potentially causing damage to expensive instruments.
