GBK-50M / GBK-110M
Booster
Instructions
Introduction
The GBK-50M and GBK-110M (the Product) are gas booster packages that provide the required gas-pressure
supply needed by the Fluke Calibration 8270A and 8370A controller/calibrators.
Both models include a pneumatically driven, piston type, self-cycling gas booster with regulated output to provide the
8270A and 8370A high-pressure supply. The gas booster boosts a lower pressure usually supplied from a bottle, to
higher pressure. The high-pressure gas is stored in an accumulator volume to assure stable supply to the 8270A
and 8370A.
GBK-50M has a maximum output pressure of 61 MPa (8850 psi).
GBK-110M has a maximum output pressure of 124 MPa (18 000 psi).

Site Requirements
Two sources of compressed gas are required to operate the Product:
Shop drive air supply to power the booster
High-pressure gas that the booster compresses to higher pressures
Due to the different flow rate and cleanliness requirements for each of these supplies, they should come from two
separate sources. Fluke Calibration recommends that hazardous gases not be used.
Shop Air Drive Supply
The shop air drive supply powers the booster. The booster high-pressure output is approximately 75 times (GBK-
50M) or 152 times (GBK-110M) the drive air supply assuming that the test gas supply pressure is high enough. For
example, for a 700 kPa (100 psi) drive air supply, the GBK-50M will generate a maximum pressure of 52.5 MPa
(7500 psi) whereas a GBK-110M booster will generate 106.4 MPa (15 200 psi) of output pressure.
Note
Because the booster package includes an accumulator and high-pressure regulator, it is
preferable to generate the highest pressure that can be achieved and regulate it down to the
appropriate supply pressure for the 8270A or 8370A range to which the booster is connected.
The higher the pressure in the accumulator and upstream of the high-pressure regulator, the
greater the reserve of high pressure to assure a stable supply of pressure to the 8270A or
8370A.
Recommended Flow Rate: up to 2280 L/min (81 cfm) Free Air Delivery (FAD). FAD is at 20 C and 101 kPa
absolute (70 F and 14.7 psia). Flow rate at booster's typical inlet pressure of 700 kPa (100 psi) is up to
330 L/min (11.6 cfm).
Cleanliness: Not critical, system includes a filter
Humidity: 20 % to 50 % RH. Do not use dry gas or hazardous gases. Dry drive air will prematurely wear the
booster seals.

High-pressure Gas Supply
High-pressure product gas is boosted and supplied to the 8270A or 8370A SUPPLY port.
High-pressure instrument gas supply requirements are:
Pressure: Minimum recommended supply pressure is 4 MPa (600 psi) for the GBK-50M and 7 MPa (1000 psi)
for the GBK-110M. Lower supply pressures, >2 MPa (300 psi) for the GBK-50M and 4 MPa (600 psi) for the
GBK-110M, could be used for test excursions to lower pressures and minimal volumes. Avoid continuous
booster cycling (due to low-supply pressures) that exceeds 2-3 minutes. Maximum allowable supply pressure is
41 MPa (6000 psi).
Flow rate: 140 slm@0 C (5 scfm@32 F) minimum
Gas quality: Use clean, dry, non-corrosive instrument-grade gases only. Fluke Calibration recommends filtration
of 10 micron with a dew point of -20 C to 5 C. Inlet gas temperature should be between 10 C and 47 C.
Installation and Setup
Product installation depends on the specific application.
Consider these factors when you determine where to locate the Product:
The high pressure being generated and associated safety concerns
The source of gas supplies (drive air supply and high-pressure instrument gas supply)
Noise level
Access to the unit for operation of the regulators and valve
Point of use of output pressure

To install the Product, follow the steps below (see Tables 3 and 4):
1. Place the Product in the selected location.
2. Close both regulators, () and (F). Rotate the regulator counter-clockwise until no spring force is felt
Note
The drive adjust regulator () has a stop that prevents continued counter-clockwise rotation.
It also has a locking mechanism to prevent accidental adjustment. To unlock, pull the knob up.
3. Close the booster drive shutoff valve (J).
4. Connect shop drive air supply to the 1/4 in. NPT female DRIVE port with supplied tubing.

W Warning
To prevent personal injury, make sure that maximum input pressure to the booster
drive adjust regulator () is below 1.7 MPa (250 psi). Pressures above this level may
result in a failure that could damage the instrument and/or cause personal injury.
5. Connect the test gas supply to the 1/4 in. NPT female SUPPLY port (E) with tubing of the appropriate pressure
rating (not supplied).
W Warning
To prevent personal injury, make sure that maximum input pressure to the SUPPLY port
(E) is 41 MPa (6 000 psi) as shown by the supply pressure gauge (D). Pressure above
this level may result in a failure that could damage the instrument and/or cause
personal injury.
Note
Pressure that is present at the SUPPLY IN port (E) is present at the inlet port of the high-
pressure adjust regulator (F). To prevent gas pressure from reaching the HIGH PRESSURE
OUT port (H), make sure that the high-pressure adjust regulator is closed (backed off).
6. Connect the HIGH PRESSURE OUT port (H) to the high pressure SUPPLY port of the Pressure Controller.
Working pressure rating of the lines and fittings should be at least 61 MPa (8850 psi) for GBK-50M and 124 MPa
(18 000 psi) for GBK-110M. The GBK-50M uses a 1/4 NPT port. The GBK-110M uses a DH500 connection
(cone and threaded connections compatible with Autoclave F250C and HIP HF4).
W Warning
To prevent personal injury, know that using a connecting tubing with a working
pressure below the maximum pressure generated by the booster may result in a failure
in the tubing that could cause damage to the instrument and/or cause personal injury.

Booster Drive Shutoff Valve
The booster drive shutoff valve (M) is a ball-type, 90 ° turn valve. Use the booster drive shutoff valve to prevent flow
of regulated drive air to the booster. Consider this valve an ON/OFF switch for the booster.
Accumulator
The accumulator on the booster is a high-pressure hose which serves as a reservoir of high-pressure gas so the gas
boosted to high pressure can be stored. This helps to provide a continuous flow of high-pressure gas to the pressure
controller.
Drive Air Regulator/Filter
The drive air pressure regulator (O) is a self-venting type of regulator with an outlet pressure control range of
0 MPa to 1 MPa (150 psi). There is a pressure relief valve which opens at approximately 830 kPa (120 psi). Fluke
Calibration recommends the drive air pressure to be set to 810 kPa (118 psi). Maximum inlet pressure is 1.7 MPa
(250 psi). Pull out the control knob to make adjustments and push in to lock into position and prevent accidental
changes.
The regulator also includes a filter and a filter bowl drain tap. Always adjust the regulator from a lower pressure to a
higher pressure. This is due to the tendency of a pressure regulator to drift in the opposite direction of the pressure
adjustment. Adjusting the regulator in this way helps to avoid an overpressure condition due to regulator drift.
High-Pressure Regulator
The high-pressure regulator (F) is a venting type regulator with an outlet pressure control range of 1.4 MPa to
70 MPa (200 psi to 10 000 psi) for the GBK-50M and 3 MPa to 124 MPa (450 psi to 18 000 psi) for the GBK-110M.
Always adjust the regulator from a lower pressure to a higher pressure. This is due to the tendency of a pressure
regulator to drift in the opposite direction of the pressure adjustment. Adjust the regulator in this way to help avoid an
overpressure condition due to regulator drift.
Gauges
The gauges are:
The booster drive pressure gauge (N) indicates the pressure set by the drive air regulator (O).
The test gas supply gauge () indicates the pressure connected to the SUPPLY port ().
The high-pressure gauge (G) indicates the pressure set by the high pressure regulator (F) and present at the
HIGH PRESSURE OUT port.
Output Equal to or Less than the Supply Pressure
To Set the High-Pressure Output Equal to or Less than the Supply Pressure see the following.
Note
Make sure to read, understand, and complete the instructions in the previous sections before
you continue.
It is not necessary to operate the gas booster when setting pressures up to the value of the test gas supply.
Test gas supply pressure is always present at the inlet of the high pressure regulator whenever it is
supplied to the Product.
