Pressure balance

Model CPB5000

 


Applications

  • Primary standard for the representation of the pressure scale in a range of up to 100 bar (pneumatic) or 1000 bar (hydraulic)
  • Reference instrument for testing, adjusting and calibrating pressure measuring instruments in factory and calibration laboratories
  • Self-sustaining complete system also suitable for on-site measurements / calibrations


Special Features

  • Total uncertainty of measurement up to 0.01 % of reading
  • Factory calibration certificate as a standard, traceable to a national standard, DKD calibration certificate available as an option
  • High long-term stability with a recommended recalibration cycle of 5 years
  • Masses manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium, local gravity adjustment at no additional charge possible
  • The available patented ConTect quick-connection system allows a quick and easy replacement of the piston/cylinder system for changing the measuring range


Pressure balance CPB5000

Description

 

Basic principle

Pressure is defined as a quotient of force and area (P= F/A). Correspondingly, the core of the CPB 5000 is a very precisely manufactured piston cylinder system, which is weighted with mass-loads in order to generate the individual test points.

These weights are manufactured to standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²) although for fixed location usage they can be adjusted to a customer specified local gravity.

Easy functioning

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 is mounted. As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there is a balance of forces between pressure and mass applied. Due to the excellent quality of the system this pressure remains stable over several minutes, so that the device under test can be calibrated or instance adjustments can be carried out without any problems.

High-performance product range

The CPB 5000 instrument bases are available in the 3 following versions:

  • Pneumatic low-pressure base

- up to max 10 bar / 150 psi

- with integrated pressure generation via initial pressure pump and spindle pump

  • Pneumatic high-pressure / vacuum base

- up to max 100 bar / 1,500 psi

- for external pressure or vacuum connection

  • Hydraulic base

- up to max 1,000 bar / 15,000 psi

- with integrated pressure generation via initial pressure pump and spindle pump
