Proven primary pressure standard
Deadweight Tester / Pressure Balances are the most accurate instrument available on the market for the calibration of electronic or mechanical pressure measuring instruments. The direct measurement of the pressure (p = F / A), as well as the use of high-quality materials enable a very small measurement uncertainty, in conjunction with an excellent long-term stability of 5 years (recommended in accordance with German Calibration Service DKD/DAkkS).
The deadweight tester / pressure balance has therefore been used for years in factory and calibration laboratories in national institutes, research laboratories and in industry.
Stand-alone operation
Due to its integrated pressure generation and the pure mechanical measuring principle, the model LR-Cal CPB5000-HP is ideal for on-site use for maintenance and service.
Basic principle
Pressure is defined as the quotient of force and area. The core component of the model LR-Cal CPB5000-HP is therefore a very pecisely manufatured piston-cylinder-system, which is loaded with masses in order to generate the individual test points.
The masses applied are proportional to the target pressure and this is achieved through optimally graduated weights. As standard, these masses are manufactured to the standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²), though the can be manufactured to a specific location (gravity) and also DAkkS-calibrated.
Easy operation
The setting of the pressure is made via an integrated pump. For fine adjustment, a very precisely controllable spindle pump is fitted, with a spindle running within it.
As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there is a balance of forces between the pressure and the mass load applied. The excellent quality of the system ensures that this pressure remains stable over several minutes, so that the pressure value for comparative measurements can be read without any problems, or also so that more complex adjustments can be carried out on the test item.
Robust instrument design
With the high-pressure model LR-Cal CPB5000-HP, calibrations up to a maximum pressure of 5,000 bar are possible.
It is built into a stable base and offers exceptional ease-of-use. With the integrated priming pump and the 250 ml tank, large test volumes can also be easily filled and primed.
