Application: This is applied to all the overseas consumers of Rifeng products. All users can register as members through this app with the invitation code. After successful registration, you can fill in users’ information on the homepage page. Then come to the Testpage. Users need to connect the RIFENG GUARD via the Bluetooth for pressure test. The pressure test can be divided into 5 steps. Real-time pressure and pressure drop can be seen in every process. When test ends, the app will compare the actual pressure drop with the system setting standard. If the pressure drop exceeds the standard, the test will be evaluated as FAILED. If not, the test will be evaluated as PASS. The system will display the initial pressure standard, pressure drop standard and test time of each step. The current pressure testing process is highlighted by a red color, allowing the users to monitor the pressure change of the pipe in real time. After the test is finished, the system will generate a Pressure Test Report and send the report to the registered mailbox. Registered plumbers can also edit their personal information and change login password on the Aboutme page.
