INSPECTION & CALIBRATION GUIDELINES FOR
PRESSURE CALIBRATOR WITH GAUGE
1.0 PREPARATION
1.1 Prepare a detailed job sheet (take the Instrument details make, model, range, resolution, serial
number, description, accuracy).
1.2 Check for any physical damages on the instrument and make a note of it in the job sheet
1.3 Keep the pressure calibrator with gauge at one place that the temperature and humidity are
within the acceptable limits. (Acceptable limit: Temp: 20° C ± 2° C and Humidity: 60% RH ± 5% RH)
for at least 30 minutes for stabilization.
1.4 Clean the instruments thoroughly before calibration.
1.5 Connect the master pressure gauge (Certified instrument) to the calibrator with necessary
fittings.
1.6 Replace the battery to UUT pressure gauge. if it is electronic type.
1.7 Turn Instrument ON the digital gauge and a warmup time of 2 minutes or per manufacturer's
catalogue (whichever is higher).

2.0 CALIBRATION
2.1 Power up the Master & UUT Digital Gauge and apply the pressure & vacuum from
calibrator
2.2 Make sure the zero bar in both Master & UUT gauge. If not make it Zero.
2.3 Compare the values with master instruments and note down the values.
2.4 Simulate various pressures to be set measurement such as 25%,50%,75%,100 % steps to
measure a linearity characteristic. (Ensure that at least 90% of the full scale is cover while
calibrating). If this not followed indicate the same in 'Remarks' column the job sheet.
2.5 Carry out necessary adjustments to ensure the equipment accuracy to be with
manufacturer's stated accuracy.
2.6 Note down the 'As found' and 'As left' readings carefully in the job sheet.
2.7 Calculate the Error and check if the error is within accuracy limits. If not provide Test
Certificate.

3.0 PRECAUTIONS

3.1 Do not remove any connected components (e.g., test objects) when the pressure calibrator
is under pressure. Open the pressure relief valve before removing one of the parts to
avoid the damage of unit.
3.2 To tight the Digital Pressure gauge carefully, to avoid the damage of sensor.
