electronic pressure transducer

1. Calibration is needed by pressure transmitter

After being used for a while, the measurement performance of the pressure transmitter may be changed, and the phenomena of zero drift and increasing measurement error will appear. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out regular calibration of the pressure transmitter. The calibrator should be 3 times more accurate than the required calibration accuracy. Standard pressure values of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% are input successively into the transmitter via the pressure calibrator in a forward and reverse manner, to detect whether the output signal of the electric current is within the allowed accuracy range. If out of range, it needs to be calibrated.

 

2. Calibration methods of pressure transmitter

The calibration methods are as follows (4~20mA output):

(1) Input the standard pressure of 4mA with pressure calibrator and adjust the ZERO potentiometer to make sure that the electric current output falls within the accuracy range;

(2) Input the standard pressure of 20mA with pressure calibrator and adjust the SPAN potentiometer to make sure that the electric current output falls within the accuracy range;

(3) ZERO and SPAN potentiometers are mutually restrictive. Repeat step (1) and step (2) until both the current outputs of 4mA and 20mA meet the accuracy requirements, and then check whether the current outputs of 25%, 50%, and 75% meet the accuracy requirements. If so, it indicates the calibration of pressure transmitter produced by pressure transmitter manufacturer is qualified.
