Product Overview

The SCIENTICO Advance Dead Weight Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 173 is an advanced dead weight pressure calibrator used for checking and calibrating Bourdon tube pressure gauges and manometers. The apparatus consists of a precision machined piston and cylinder assembly mounted on leveling screws to ensure accurate vertical alignment. Known pressures are generated by applying calibrated dead weights on the piston, where pressure is defined as the ratio of applied force to piston cross sectional area. Hydraulic oil transfers the applied force uniformly, allowing comparison between the generated pressure and the gauge reading to determine systematic errors and calibration curves.
