The new HPC40 Series handheld pressure calibrator from Crystal Engineering, a unit of AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments, is engineered for advanced simplicity, incorporating a number of useful features that greatly extend the range and functionality of the compact instrument.
The HPC40 Series offers deadweight tester accuracy along with a host of user-friendly features that allow the handheld device to deliver laboratory accuracy to an onsite, field usable instrument. The HPC40 Series is suitable for calibrating pressures ranging from vacuum to 15 000 psi with accuracy of 0.035 percent of reading for all ranges. It is ideal for process control applications, such as verification or calibration of pressure gauges, transducers, transmitters, pressure switches and safety valves.
The HPC40 Series is also the worlds first mA loop calibrator that is fully temperature compensated from -20 °C 50 °C, enabling it to deliver the same accuracy whether measuring pressure, current, voltage or temperature. The series also uses newly patented Crystal Pressure Fittings. These 316 stainless steel fittings are designed to operate at 10 000 psi/700 bar and ensure leak free connections without the use of tools. In addition, the fittings self-ventilating weep holes alert users when disconnecting from a pressurized system.
