What is Dead Weight Tester and What Does it Do?

The calibration of different instruments in industries is one of the major requirements for better testing of various test parameters in laboratories. 

The calibration of different instruments in industries is one of the major requirements for better testing of various test parameters in laboratories. If the instruments are not calibrated properly, then there are chances for inducing wrong test finding during the procedure. This is why the laboratories need to calibrate their products with the help of the best methods like dead weight testers to ensure the best accuracy of the instruments.

The dead weight tester is a widely used testing instrument that is used for calibration of different instruments and equipment used in the laboratory. The instrument uses to know the weight that applies pressure on the fluids to test the accuracy of the readings provided by a pressure gauge. The Deadweight test calibration is the standard way of calibration of different in which a piston cylinder is used on which there is the placement of the load. This application of load helps in making equilibrium with the pressure applied below the piston. This implies that the pressure applied by the dead weight tester is mainly measured by different parameters such as mass, length, and time. This is the reason; they are called primary standards.

Typically, the use of deadweight testers is prominent in the calibration process of different pressure gauges such as electronic and analogue pressure measuring devices. There are different designs of piston cylinders are used in dead weight testers such as GAS-Gas, Gas-Oil, and Oil-Oil type cylinders. All of them have different working and efficiency.

Presto offers highly efficient dead weight testers that are widely utilized for calibration of pressure gauges and other pressure-based instruments with great accuracy and precision.
