A pressure transmitter is a mechanical device that measures the expansive force of a liquid or gaseous sample. Also known as a pressure transducer, this type of sensor is typically composed of a pressure sensitive surface area made of steel, silicon, or other materials depending upon the analyte’s composition.
Pressure Transmitter Calibration Process
Calibration is the process of comparing the transmitter output with a known reference value. This enables any pressure errors to be identified and corrected and accurate measurements to be obtained. Calibration also helps to extend the transmitter’s life and avoid production losses or scrap.
Pressure calibration is the comparison of the output of a device used to measure pressure with that of another pressure measurement device or pressure measurement standard. This usually involves plumbing the device under test (DUT) to the standard device and generating a common pressure in the measurement circuit. The outputs of the devices are compared at one or more pressures typically from the lowest to highest readings of the DUT’s full scale range, or the range for which it is normally used.
This comparison process is performed in a chain from the highest level of fundamental pressure realization, down to every day pressure measurement devices, to ensure pressure measurements are accurate and comply with accepted or mandated standards.
Accredited calibration
An accredited calibration is a calibration that is within an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab’s approved scope of accreditation which demonstrates the lab’s technical competence to perform those measurements.
