Description
Proven primary standard
Pressure balances (dead-weight testers) are the most accurate instruments 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. The pressure balance (dead-weight tester) has therefore been used for years in factory and calibration laboratories in industry, national institutes and research laboratories.
Stand-alone operation
Due to its integrated pressure generation and the pure mechanical measuring principle, the model CPB5000HP 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 CPB5000HP is therefore a very precisely-manufactured piston-cylinder system,
