Pressure Calibrator, Handheld

AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments’ Crystal Engineering unit has launched a handheld Pressure Calibrator. The new HPC40 Series is the first mA loop calibrator fully compensated from -20° to 50°C. It delivers deadweight tester accuracy in an on-site instrument and is designed for process control applications, such as verification or calibration of pressure gauges, transducers, transmitters, pressure switches and safety valves. It is suitable for pressures ranging from vacuum to 15,000 psi with accuracy of 0.035% of reading for all ranges. This enables it to deliver the same accuracy whether measuring pressure, current, voltage or temperature. Applications include: laboratory; power generation; nuclear power; automotive; brewing; chemical processing; water purification; waste water treatment; food processing; pharmaceutical manufacturing; safety; and quality assurance. A single HPC40 Series device can typically replace several gauges or calibrators. The calibrator’s large, full-color display combined with its new user interface makes the HPC40 Series the easiest-to-use pressure calibrator available, the company reports. Its single layer user interface has no deep menu structure, allowing tasks to be performed quickly and intuitively.
