"Extra costs" should be considered when selecting BDV tester
Additional and replacement test vessels. IEC 60156 recommends that a separate test vessel is used for each type of fluid to be tested. Many laboratories adhere to this advice and as a result, have six or more test vessels. It is important, therefore, to check the price of spare vessels before purchasing an instrument. Some are very expensive and purchasing several vessels can greatly increase overall costs.
Broken test vessels. The previous comments about the price of test vessels are also relevant to broken test vessels, but note that moulded test vessels are much less fragile and far less likely to break than glass vessels. When correctly specified a moulded vessel will provide all the advantages of a glass vessel and more, at a lower price.
