Excellent video. Can you tell me if all outlet ports receive grease at (virtually) the same time, or will we see pressure/discharge at port 1, then port 2, then port 3.. etc progressively. I imagine this is the case, because it is progressive. Maybe if its a high flow system with little resistance (eg light oil), it does progress, but you cant tell being so quick, but if it was viscous grease, its slow and you could see 1 port cycle, then finish, then next port start/finish.. Secondly, can pressure gauges of the right pressure and thread, be installed in the plugged ports, if we had an 8 port block and only used 4 ports (4 ports plugged?) for visual pressure monitoring purposes? It would be nice to see a video of working system, with transparent block and lines, (maybe using kids 'goo/sludge' as the demo medium, or something like that - the medium is coloured and slightly viscous)..
The valve will operate progressively - one port at a time, not all at once. No, pressure gauges should not be installed in the plugged ports - the internal cross port drilling needs to be clear. The easiest and best way to install a pressure gauge would be to install a tee into the grease line coming out of the SSV Valve and mount the pressure gauge there. Or install a tee at the SSV inlet and mount the pressure gauge there. By doing this you are monitoring the complete zone the SSV is servicing.
This depends upon whether the SSV valve is operating in oil or grease. Grease has a slower cycling rate than oil due to the viscosity of each. Based on 50 valve cycles per minute, total output of the SSV6 would be 3.6 cubic inches or 60cc.

in a one minute how much of a lubricant will ssv 6 dispense out considering each outlet is 0.2g or 0.2 cm3

Very good.
