  2. Deadweight tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_tester

    A dead weight tester (DWT) is a calibration standard method that uses a piston cylinder on which a load is placed to make an equilibrium with an applied pressure underneath the piston. Deadweight testers are secondary standards which means that the pressure measured by a deadweight tester is defined through other quantities: length, mass and ...

  3. Precision measurement equipment laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Measurement...

    The technicians who work in the PMEL will often specialize in one of these sections. The K-Sections are derived from the primary function of the TMDE. This is based upon the calibration authority. Most labs have three calibration sections divided into K1/K8, K5/K6 and K3/K4 that specialize in like test equipment.

  4. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Example of the widely used Bourdon pressure gauge Checking tire pressure with a spring and piston tire-pressure gauge. Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area.

  5. Measurement system analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_system_analysis

    Common tools and techniques of measurement system analysis include: calibration studies, fixed effect ANOVA, components of variance, attribute gage study, gage R&R, [1] ANOVA gage R&R, and destructive testing analysis. The tool selected is usually determined by characteristics of the measurement system itself.

  6. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    The formal definition of calibration by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is the following: "Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties (of the calibrated instrument or ...

    The newly formed company DH-Budenberg Group has since expanded the calibration equipment produced, to a wide range of primary standard & premium industrial pressure calibration equipment, which now includes: automated primary pressure standards, manual primary standards, differential primary standards, automatic pressure controllers, hydraulic ...

  8. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

    An open (differential) mercury pressure gauge. A mercury pressure gauge is a type of manometer using mercury as the working fluid. The most basic form of this instrument is a U-shaped glass tube filled with mercury. More complex versions deal with very high pressure or have better means of filling with mercury.

  9. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    Small pressure pan application. A third test method to determine if ductwork is leaking to the outside is to use a pressure pan, which is a register cover with a pressure tap for a hose connection. With the house pressurized (or depressurized) to 50 Pa (-50 Pa) using a blower door, a pressure gauge is attached to the pressure pan by means of a ...
