Engine and hydraulics diagnostic kit

The Pico Engine and Hydraulics kit combines our Diesel diagnostics kit with two WPS600C Hydraulic pressure transducers, enabling you to accurately and quickly diagnose faults on many different types of mobile machinery. PicoScope has already been chosen by dozens of vehicle and equipment manufacturers because of its unique combination of value, reliability, performance and guidance. 

By combining the high-precision hydraulic transducers with a PicoScope kit, you can now look at hydraulic pressures in the same time frame as the engine control signals giving complete visibility of how the system is operating. You can now see the exact moment valves start to move in the hydraulic system and compare this directly to the relevant electronic controls. You can also investigate stalling and 'no start' conditions due to the comprehensive coverage of engine and electrical systems.

With PicoScope you have direct access to over 150 built-in guided tests covering engine and electrical sensors, actuators and systems. These include both voltage and current measurements and cover camshaft, crankshaft, oxygen sensors, injectors and many more. These tests give you a head start in diagnosing and fixing engine faults right first time; when combined with the hydraulic system they allow diagnosis of complex interactions of the hydraulic and engine systems.

WPS600C Pressure Transducer

With high accuracy and a wide measuring range, the WPS600C Hydraulic Pressure Transducer connects to your PicoScope for convenient analysis and diagnosis of pressurized systems.

• Accurately measure up to 600 bar (8700 psi)
• Ultra-fast 100 microsecond response time (0% to 90% of full scale)
• Internal rechargeable LiPo battery
• Industry-standard M16 x 2 test point connector
• Auto-zeroing
• High noise immunity
• Temperature compensated

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.

Flow Meters

To further the hydraulic testing capability of your PicoScope, we can supply a range of hydraulic flow meters. 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.

At Pico, we can offer 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*. All flow meters come fitted with a M16x2 Minimess pressure test port for connecting to your WPS600C, along with additional ports for other measurements.

The 300 lpm and 600 lpm sizes also have a built-in loading valve to enable you to load the hydraulic system under test. This will allow you to see the system performance under full load capturing hydraulic flow, pressure and temperature.

For ease of connection, the flow meters are supplied with either SAE or BSP inlet and outlet ports, depending on your requirements. Please note that the 600 lpm flow meter inlet and outlet ports only come in SAE sized ports with the top ports being available in BSP and SAE. Please see the table and image below for confirmation of port sizes.

*For oil temperature measurements, the TA370 and TA372 adaptors are required. These are included with the purchase of any flowmeter.
