Hydraulic waveform examples and analysis
Two pressure ranges for increased versatility
The two pressure ranges of the WPS600C allow accurate measurement and diagnosis of permanent and non-permanent automotive and industrial hydraulic systems.
Range 1
The first range, 0 to 600 bar (approximately 8700 psi) gives you high resolution and accuracy for high-pressure tests in hydraulic systems.
Range 2
The second range measures from 0 to 60 bar (approximately 870 psi). This range is ideal for low-pressure hydraulic systems and oil pumps.

Option to add Flow Meters (Contact us to enquire about adding a Flow Meter - Not included in this kit)
To go with the Hydraulics diagnostics kit Pico can supply a range of flow meters designed to work directly with your PicoScope. The Pico flow meter range has been developed in conjunction with industry-leading flow meter supplier Webtec and is based on their very popular range of turbine flow meters.
We can offer you three different sizes of flow meter: 25 lpm, 300 lpm and 600 lpm. All flow meters come with a flow output for direct connection to the PicoScope and an embedded thermistor for measuring oil temperature. They also have an M16x2 Minimess pressure test port for connecting to your WPS600C. The two larger sizes also have a built-in loading valve to enable you to load the hydraulic system under test, allowing you to see the system performance under full load.
For ease of connection, the flow meters are supplied with either SAE or BSP inlet and outlet ports depending on your requirements.
* Flowmeters are made to order and will be delivered separately approximately 16 weeks after the order is confirmed.

Not for continuous operation
Due to the wide range of hydraulic fittings in use we do not supply any specific adaptors or hoses for use with this product. Those provided with the low pressure WPS500X are not suitable for use with the higher pressure hydraulic systems.
We recommend contacting your regular hydraulic hose supplier for any additional fittings or custom hose assemblies you may require to suit your specific system.
