Advance Dead Weight Apparatus | FluidoSurge-X 173
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Fluid Mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Advance Dead Weight Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 173 is designed for high accuracy calibration of pressure measuring instruments. It enables generation of precise and repeatable pressure using a piston manometer principle. The apparatus supports advanced calibration studies at higher pressure ranges. It is suitable for fluid mechanics and instrumentation laboratories.
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.

Q1. What distinguishes the advanced dead weight apparatus from a basic model?
It supports higher pressure ranges and includes a precision piston with smaller area for generating higher pressures.
Q2. What type of pressure gauge can be calibrated using this apparatus?
It is designed primarily for Bourdon tube pressure gauges.
Q3. How is pressure generated in this apparatus?
Pressure is generated by applying known dead weights on a piston of known cross sectional area using hydraulic oil.
Q4. Is data acquisition software included with the apparatus?
Data acquisition software based on LABVIEW environment is available as an optional accessory.
Q5. Is hydraulic oil supplied with the unit?
Yes, hydraulic oil is included in the standard scope of delivery.
