The LR-Cal pressure calibrators and reference pressure gauges serve as a working standard for checking, adjusting and calibrating mechanical and electronic pressure measuring instruments by comparison measurement. In addition, a calibration pressure source is still required, e.g. LR-Cal pressure test pumps or LR-Cal pressure comparison test pumps. The pressure tests or calibrations can be carried out on a mobile basis, on site at the measuring point, or stationary in the laboratory or in the workshop.
If the gauge under test and an LR-Cal pressure calibrator are connected to an LR-Cal calibration pressure source, the same pressure is applied to both gauges when the pump is actuated. By comparing the two readings at any pressure values, a check of the accuracy or an adjustment of the pressure gauge under test can be made.
