LR-Cal LDW-P Pneumatic Deadweight Tester Pressure Balance 1500 PSI
Proven primary pressure standard
Deadweight Tester / Pressure Balances are the most accurate instrument available on the market for the calibration of electronic or mechanical pressure measuring instruments. The direct measurement of the pressure (p = F / A), as well as the use of high-quality materials enable a very small measurement uncertainty, in conjunction with an excellent long-term stability of 5 years (recommended in accordance with German Calibration Service DAkkS).
The deadweight tester / pressure balance has therefore been used for years in factory and calibration laboratories in national institutes, research laboratories and in industry.
Stand-alone operation
Due to its integrated pressure generation and the pure mechanical measuring principle, the model LR-Cal LDW-P is ideal for on-site use for maintenance and service.
Basic principle
Pressure is defined as the quotient of force and area. The core component of the model LR-Cal LDW-P is therefore a very pecisely manufatured piston-cylinder-system, which is loaded with masses in order to generate the individual test points.
The masses applied are proportional to the target pressure and this is achieved through optimally graduated weights. As standard, these masses are manufactured to the standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²), though the can be manufactured to a specific location (gravity) and also DAkkS-calibrated.
Easy operation
Depending on the instrument version the pressure is set via an integrated pump or via an external pressure supply by the use of control valves. For fine adjustment a very precisely adjustable spindle pump with a precision spindle running only within the pump body is mounted.
As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there is a balance of forces between the pressure and the mass load applied. The excellent quality of the system ensures that this pressure remains stable over several minutes, so that the pressure value for comparative measurements can be read without any problems, or also so that more complex adjustments can be carried out on the item under test.
 
High-performance instrument range
The LR-Cal LDW-P instrument base is available in 2 variants, depending on the required pressure range:
  1. Low-pressure pneumatic base
    Up to max. 10 bar / 150 psi.
    With integrated pressure generation through priming pump and spindle pump
  2. High-pressure and Vacuum pneumatic base
    Up to max. 100 bar / 1,500 psi.
    Connection for an external pressure supply or vacuum supply
    NOTE: if used with vacuum piston-cylinder-unit, this second version MUST with connection for external pressure/vacuum supply MUST be chosen.
As standard, both instruments bases are fitted with a connection for the piston-cylinder system with M20 x 2 female thread.
Optionally, a quick-release mechanism is available. This enables the piston-cylinder system to be changed quickly and safely without any tools.
The connection of the test item is made without tools using a quick-connection. Via the freely-rotating knurled nut, the test item can be oriented as required. As standard, a threaded insert with a 1/2" BSP female thread is provided. Other threaded inserts are available to connect the most common pressure measuring instruments.
 
This item comes with a one year warranty from the manufacturer. Please allow 3-4 weeks lead time for this new product to arrive.

    3. As a standard, the deadweight tester / pressure balance is equipped with a quick connector for connecting the test item. For this purpose, various threaded adapters, which can be easily exchanged, are available. Additionally the sets of adapters include spare O-rings as well as a spanner, 32 flats and 14 flats, for exchanging the adapters.

      Set of adapters: 1/4" BSP, 3/8" BSP, 1/2" NPT, M20 x 1.5

    4. Set of NPT adapters: 1/8" NPT, 1/4" NPT, 3/8" NPT, 1/2" NPT

    5. Angle connection 90°, for test specimens with back mounting connection

    6. Purifier (without diaphragm), max. 1,000 bar, designed for measuring instruments (test items) where the fill fluid should not come into contact with the deadweight tester / pressure balance.

    7. Set of O-rings (5 pcs. 8 x 2 and 5 pcs. 4 x 2.2) for piston connector and test item connector
