Flowbench Plans 

• The PTS plans were designed using proven design & ideas/tips discussed and tested by members of my Flowbench Forum on their own homebuilt flowbenches. 
• The PTS plans were "Peer Reviewed" by Senior Members of the forum before release here on the web.
• The PTS plans are based on an orifice style bench using my orifice plates (or your own design) it offers reverse flow for intake or exhaust testing by flipping the orifice plate and reversing the slider plate. 
• This bench is not based on a shop vac or knock-off of the MSD design! 
• The "foot-print" of the bench is 36"w x 25"d x 40"h.
• Think of the plans as a "condensed version" of all the information found free on my Flowbench Forum you save time having to find it all by purchasing a set.
• The plans are not a photocopy of magazine articles!! They are an original design based on proven design.
• Ranges can be changed with different size orifice plates. 
• There is no rotating orifice disk which can be prone to leakage.
• No additional Flow Elements are required for this bench design, all flow measurement is performed with the orifice plate inside the bench.
  
• The slider plate is the only moving part in the bench, no valves or disks.
• Gages are digital based, you have to buy a flow computer of your choice, (*see note below about the PTS Digital Manometer project currently under development) or you can design your own water manometers from the info found on the forum, at the current time I'm not supplying this info in the plans but, it is currently under development in my shop and is available on the Flowbench Forum.
• Flow depression is controlled via electric motor control.
  (manual valve optional, not in the plans, supported on the Flowbench Forum)
• Has the capability of using 2-8 blower motors depending on your flow needs, 
  budget and power.
• The plans are fully supported on the Flowbench Forum for anyone who purchases the plans.
• This bench can be built on a budget (roughly around $500) or buying all new parts with a typical cost of less than $1000.
• This bench design is very accurate and repeatable, all of which depends on your attention to details in construction. I have many satisfied customers all over the world currently building or using my bench design!
• It is comparable in design to commercially produced flowbenches selling for $$$$ with the reputation and support of the Flowbench Forum to back it up . . .

Coming Soon . . .

Currently on the drawing board is a larger bench design featuring a maximum of 12 blowers with a foot print of 48"w x 30"d x 40"h.  Contact me for details on how you can purchase a copy.

* PTS Digital Manometer project, this will allow you to go totally digital with our parts. No need to purchase a commercial flow computer, our board will allow you to use a simple commercial DAQ card to see and capture your data in real-time using a spreadsheet or database application. It will feature 3 pressure sensors and will be fully supported on the Flowbench Forum as a DIY project, in kit form or possibly pre-built units. Release date and price yet to be determined. More info can be found on the Flowbench Forum in the Flowbench DAQ area.
