How to Calibrate a Pressure Transmitter

What is Calibrate a Pressure Transmitter?

Calibrate a Pressure Transmitter is an important step to help pressure transmitters make accurate measurements. Only when the input and output are debugged together can it be called a true calibration. Including the pressure of the input transmitter, A/D conversion circuit, and loop current output circuit.

Pressure transmitter calibration is what you need to do before you install the pressure transmitters.

Pressure Sensor Calibration Case Share. The customer purchased a batch of high-frequency dynamic pressure sensors from our company. According to customer requirements, the accuracy of our pressure sensor is ±0.25% FS.

After the pressure sensor was produced, it was delivered to a third-party inspection company. The accuracy of the high-frequency dynamic pressure sensor was verified. As a result of the verification, the accuracy of our high-frequency dynamic pressure sensors has reached ±0.20% FS, and a calibration certificate is attached.

Pressure Transmitter Calibration Equipment

According to the description in “JJG882-2004 Pressure Transmitter Verification Regulations”. A pressure transmitter is an instrument that converts a pressure variable into a standardized output signal that can be transmitted. And there is a given value between its output signal and the pressure variable Continuous function relationship (usually linear function). Mainly used for the measurement and control of industrial engineering pressure parameters. Differential pressure transmitters are often used for flow measurement.

There are two types of pressure transmitters: electric and pneumatic. The standardized output signals of electric motors are mainly 0mA~10mA and 4mA~20mA (or 1V~5V) DC signals.

illustrate:

The two-wire pressure transmitter is a kind of electric type. Calibration should be carried out according to “JJG882-2004 Pressure Transmitter Verification Regulations”. The required equipment is as follows:

  1. One DC 24V power supply;
  2. One mA ammeter;
  3. One voltmeter;
  4. One standard pressure gauge;
  5. One pressure source;
  6. One piston pressure gauge (4 and 5 are optional when this option is available).

At present, the digital pressure calibrator integrates various functions such as DC24V, voltage measurement, current measurement, on-off measurement, etc. The equipment is constantly developing towards intelligence and miniaturization.

For example, you only need to configure the ConST273 intelligent digital pressure calibrator and the ConST100 series pressure pump. You can complete the HART intelligent pressure transmitter, ordinary pressure transmitter, precision pressure gauge, general pressure gauge, pressure controller, and other pressure instruments. Verification work.
