This equipment described in this manual is designed and manufactured for the intended purpose of
generating high pressure gas and regulating a high gas pressure output. Certain precautions need to be
followed during installation and operation of this device. Reading and understanding the material is essential
to the safe and correct operation of the unit.
Pressurized equipment is potentially dangerous. The equipment described in this manual generates and
controls very high gas pressures. It should not be operated by anyone who has not thoroughly familiarized
themselves with this manual. Additional training in general and pressure specific safety procedures will help
assure protection from harm or damage to personnel or property. Responsibility for the proper and safe
operation of this instrument rests with the user.
Do not use oxygen. This instrument is not compatible with the use of oxygen. Hydrocarbon elastomers
and lubricants are present.
High pressure liquids and gases are potentially hazardous. Energy stored in these liquids and gases
can be released unexpectedly and with extreme force. High pressure systems should be assembled and
operated only by personnel who have been instructed in proper safety practices.

1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
GB-H-152-70M and GB-H-152-100M are gas booster packages intended to be used to provide the gas
pressure supplies required by DHI PPCH-G controller/calibrators for high pressure gas.
Both models include a pneumatically driven, piston type, self-cycling gas booster with regulated output to
provide the PPCH-G 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 PPCH-G. GB-H-152-70M has a maximum output pressure of 100 MPa (15 000 psi).
GB-H-152-100M has a maximum output of 120 MPa (18 000 psi).
Both models also include an independent low pressure output to supply the PPCH-G drive air
requirement.
With a GB-H-152 gas booster, all of the PPH-G pressure supply requirements are taken care of in one
simple package requiring only the connection of a test gas source and a drive air supply to power the
booster.
