Deadweight Testers vs Pressure Controllers (pt. 2)
In this episode, Mensor metrologist, Philip Romero explores the differences between two essential tools in the calibration process: deadweight testers and pressure controllers.
Deadweight testers have long been considered the gold standard for pressure calibration. They rely on the principle of hydrostatic balance, where a known mass is applied to a piston, generating precise pressure. This method offers exceptional accuracy and stability, making it ideal for high-pressure applications.
On the other hand, pressure controllers provide a more automated and versatile approach to calibration. These devices use electronic control systems to maintain a set pressure, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of use. Pressure controllers are handy for calibrating various instruments, including transmitters, gauges, and switches.
Throughout this episode, Philip will enlighten us on the advantages and unique capabilities of deadweight testers, shedding light on how these instruments stack up against pressure controllers in achieving precise and accurate measurements.
