Construction & Design Details-
The piston and cylinder are manufactured from stainless steel to ensure durability and dimensional stability. The piston is rotated during operation to minimize friction effects and improve measurement accuracy. The Bourdon pressure gauge is mounted for direct visual comparison with generated pressure values. Hydraulic oil is used as the pressure transmitting medium for smooth and consistent operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the primary purpose of this apparatus?
It is used to calibrate and verify Bourdon type pressure gauges.
Q2. How is pressure generated in this apparatus?
Pressure is generated by applying known weights on a piston of known cross sectional area.
Q3. Why is the piston rotated during operation?
Rotation minimizes friction between the piston and cylinder, improving accuracy.
Q4. What pressure range can be calibrated?
The supplied gauge supports calibration up to 4 bar.
Q5. Is hydraulic oil included with the apparatus?
Yes, hydraulic oil is supplied as part of the standard scope of delivery.
