Apex Control Instruments

Pressure is defined as Force per Unit Area. Dead-Weight Pressure Testers use the measurements of force and area to produce pressure which is used to calibrate other instruments with great accuracy. The force is derived from the weights and the area used is that of the piston in a cylinder. Dead-Weight Pressure Tester is the fundamental standard of pressure measurement of pressure higher than those for which a liquid column can conveniently be used.

PERIODIC CALIBRATION OF PRESSURE GAUGES

It is important that all pressure gauges and other pressure sensitive instruments are periodically calibrated using a dead weight tester (being a fundamental method of pressure measurement) for safety, efficiency and quality.
