The idea was just to purchase a cheap, reliable piece of kit which would provide accurate assessment of the valves health. Ultimately I just something that could accurate grade my valves for future projects, then hopefully enabling me to use the best (healthiest) valves for the job. I understand that only so many tests can be performed upon a valve. I intended to then research each test and it's relevancy. I perform diagnostics on people every day to assess health so I figure I might have a fighting chance of understanding the test values and their relevancy to the valves health ( well that's the logic of a clinician)!!!! Hope you can see my head logic.
