Above 1 mm range following guidelines should be used as a basis for taking the number
ofreadings.
Above 2 3 mm
: Take 10 Equivalent Readings per revolution.
Above 3 5 mm
: Take 5 Equivalent Readings per revolution.
Above 5 10 mm
: Take 2 Equivalent Readings per revolution.
Above 10 25 mm
: Take 1 Reading per revolution.
Above 25 50 mm
: Take 1 Readings per 2 revolutions.
4. Note down the respective readings observed in Step 3 in the respective Raw Data
Sheet.
Method for calibration of pressure gauge
1. Remove the air bubbles from the media used in the comparison test pump.
2. Select the master, suitable to range of UUC, and connect the master gauge and UUC to
comparison test pump.
3. Depending on the measurement uncertainty aimed at, one or several measurement series
are necessary. Refer following table for measurement series.
4. The comparison between the measurement values for calibration item and reference or
working standard performed by adjustment of the pressure according to the indication
of the UUC.
5. The time for preloading at the highest value and the time between two preloadings
should be at least 30 seconds which shall be ensured by digital stop watch. After
preloading and steady-state conditions have been reached and the calibration item
permission the indication of the calibration item is set to zero.
6. The calibration is to be carried out in measurement points uniformly distributed over the
calibration range.
7. Apply pressure uniformly in UP (Forward) direction and set the first reading on UUC
by applying the pressure, as per the selected calibration points and note down the
reading on master gauge and UUC in the Raw Data Sheet.
8. Repeat step 5, and take minimum five readings covering the entire range of UUC.
9. Release the pressure uniformly in Down (Reverse) direction and set the last reading
on UUC by applying the pressure, as per the selected calibration points and note down
the reading on master gauge and UUC in the Raw Data Sheet.
10. Repeat step 7, and take five readings equivalent as taken in step-6, covering the entire
range of UUC, in down (reverse) direction. Calculate the Error,
Error = Mean Value Test Point Reading
11. Note down the readings observed in Step 7 in the respective Raw Data Sheet.
