Pressure Multifunction Calibrators

Multifunction calibrators are the do-everything calibration instrument. Capable of accepting input from a wide range of sensors, many are also able to calibrate pressure equipment. Generally speaking, pressure calibration using a multifunction calibrator is similar to calibrating pressure with just a hand pump and reference gauge. The multifunction calibrator serves as the display and accompanying electronics while internal or external generation devices create pressure while pressure modules serve as the standard.

Despite the similarities, a multifunction calibrator is more sophisticated than a hand pump and offers features that make calibration more accurate. For example, multifunction calibrators often include internal sensors to compensate for ambient temperature and pressure thus mitigating two of the most common reasons for uncertainty in calibration.

Questions to Consider When Buying a Pressure Calibrator:

1. What devices are to be calibrated?
2. What level accuracy is required?
3. What pressure range is required?
4. Where will calibrations be performed? In a lab? The field?
5. Do calibrations need to be traceable to NIST or another organization?
6. What fitting, hoses, adaptors and other accessories are needed?
