Measuring the exhaust backpressure
The exhaust backpressure must be measured dur-
ing startup.
The measuring point of the exhaust gas backpres-
sure (thread M14 x 1.5) must be located in a
straight pipe section.
Measurements immediately behind the exhaust
turbocharger falsify the result by up to 20 mbar.
The quantity to be measured is the static pressure,
i.e. the measuring connection must fit flush with
the inside of the pipe wall.
Measurements of the ram pressure and in pipe
bends will produce inaccurate results.
During the measuring operation the engine must
run at maximum power and rated speed.
The simplest measuring instrument is a U−pipe
manometer filled with water.
