    the difference is the machine is a flowmeter. he has a large scale and low scale flowmeter like a argon bottle has. so it doesnt register in psi difference or delta p, it measures airflow in scfh volume. i talked at length with him on this one. pretty good idea, but the results arent really comparable to say a jet chart with gpm on it. your basically comparing a known jet to another jet with flow change in airflow volume. still a great idea and cheap compared to a wet flowbench. a good field tool.

    Thanks for the replys.
    I already have a Moroso leak tester, but find the regulator on it has a dead zone when adjusting.
    Has any one tried Ken Lowes leak tester and is it worth its money?
