P3023-INH2O-P – Air Deadweight Tester, Dual PCU (Pressure Range 12 to 800 inH2O), With Pump

P3000 Series Pneumatic Deadweight Testers

The P3000 Series is the culmination of over 50 years’ experience in the production and design of primary pressure standards. With features designed to improve accuracy and performance, increase reliability and simplify operation these deadweight testers can be used to calibrate virtually any pressure sensing device, including transducers, transmitters, gauges or pressure switches.

Each instrument is supplied with a detachable lid that makes it neat, compact and easily portable. The masses are stored in a high-quality case with a self-locking mechanism to protect them during transit.

All units are provided with an accredited calibration certificate, M14X1.5, M20X1.5, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 NPT and BSP female adaptors, operating fluid (where applicable) and spare seals.

The piston/cylinder assemblies are manufactured to the very highest standards and are supplied with accredited calibration reports with stated instrumental measurement uncertainties.

P3000 Series Vacuum and Dual Vacuum/Pressure Models

The combined vacuum/pressure models are extremely versatile instruments providing vacuum through 500 psi (3.5 MPa) capacity in one unit. An optional built-in hand pump can be installed to generate vacuum (90 %) through 300 psi (2 MPa).

P3000 Series Liquid Lubricated Gas Operated Models

The Models P3031 and P3032 feature an oil lubricated piston/cylinder assembly, which ensures that the instrument is less susceptible to performance issues caused by contamination of the gas supply or the environment in which the unit is being operated.

The supply gas, via the deadweight tester controls, is introduced into the piston/cylinder chamber. As the gas acts directly on the surface of the oil, there is a rate-less transfer of pressure within the system.

The instrument is designed to prevent inadvertent over-filling of the chamber, thus avoiding contamination of the gas system. There is no physical barrier between the gas and oil so there is some “oil-mist” transfer potential. Therefore, we do not recommend the standard version for oxygen service. A special version of these instruments using a hydro-carbon free fluid is available.

Operating principle

Deadweight testers are the primary standard for pressure measurements. Utilizing the well proven piston-gauge system consisting of a vertically mounted, precision lapped piston and cylinder assembly, accurately calibrated masses (Force) are loaded on the piston (Area), which rises freely within its cylinder. These masses balance the upward force created by the pressure within the system.

Instrument base

There are four basic variations in the pneumatic offering; single pressure, single vacuum, dual vacuum and pressure, and oil-lubricated pneumatically driven high-pressure models. Pressure or vacuum is generated by an external source or an optional built-in hand pump (standard on the lower pressure models). The hand pump option is not available on instruments above 500 psi (3.5 MPa).

Piston/cylinder assemblies

The piston/cylinder assembly is the heart of each deadweight tester. They are manufactured from materials that provide stability, durability, and low thermal coefficients and distortion. Our experience and knowledge of piston/cylinder production and calibration ensure the precision and performance required for today’s demanding calibration requirements.

Standard masses Series 3 non-magnetic austenitic stainless steel. Each mass is marked with the serial number of the instrument and the nominal pressure value relative to the high or low-pressure piston, when applicable. The masses for the vacuum ranges and the optional fine increment masses are stainless steel and/or aluminum.

Gravity correction

Gravity varies significantly with geographical location and this variation has a direct effect on the force of the weights and the accuracy of the deadweight tester. Each instrument can be calibrated to local gravity at no extra cost. If unspecified, instruments will be calibrated to Standard Gravity at 980.665 cm/s 2 .

Gas supply

All instruments are fitted with a 1/4 inch NPT female external supply port for connection to the gas supply source. A compressed gas bottle (nitrogen or dry air) ?tted with a pressure regulator is recommended. Ten percent above the maximum pressure is required. A built-in hand pump is available on some models to generate pressures to 300 psi (2 MPa).

For vacuum requirements, an external vacuum pump can be connected to the 1/4 inch port. The built-in hand pump will also generate up to 90 % vacuum.

PressCal Software

Windows-based software program allows users to easily apply all necessary corrections to enhance the deadweight tester performance. Calibration details are then stored and/or used to automatically create a calibration certificate.
