What good are high-end precision measurement, control and calibration instruments if you don’t know how to use them? Sometimes the best way to learn…

Calibration labs typically use deadweight testers as their primary standard. The weights used to produce the pressure in these devices are suspended…

Deadweight testers are available in a number of variants which makes choosing the right model for a particular application challenging.

Deadweight testers, or pressure balances, have been around a long time and are the first instruments that come to mind when thinking of primary…

A deadweight tester generates pressure by exerting a force (F) over an area (A), which is also the definition of pressure (P): P = F/A

When considering how to calibrate pressure instruments in house, there are a few things to think about before setting up the lab and committing to a…

The pressure range of a deadweight tester is limited by the effective area of the piston and the masses that are supplied. Smaller diameter pistons…

Low pressure differential and gauge calibrations require a calibration setup that is different as compared to its higher pressure counterparts.
