Overview of the Pacorr PC-DWT

Pressure gauge calibration requires a reference matched to the instrument's working range and calibration requirements. The PC-DWT combines a priming pump and screw ram for pressure generation with calibrated, non-magnetic stainless steel weights.

Single- and dual-piston configurations are available. Select the piston arrangement, weight set and pressure units to match the gauges you intend to calibrate. Included BSP adaptors, levelling equipment, tools and a traceable calibration certificate support setup and calibration work.

Applications

  • Calibration laboratories: Compare compatible gauge indications with reference pressure at selected points.
  • Industrial maintenance workshops: Check gauges during scheduled maintenance or after servicing.
  • Manufacturing quality-control departments: Verify pressure gauges used in production and inspection.
  • Instrument service facilities: Evaluate gauge readings before and after adjustment or repair.

Suitability depends on the gauge's pressure range, connection and compatibility with the operating oil.

Selecting Your PC-DWT Configuration

Begin with the lowest and highest pressure points you need to calibrate. Identify the required pressure units, gauge connection and calibration tolerance. Share these details with Pacorr to establish the suitable piston arrangement and weight set.

Include requirements for smaller pressure increments, alternative adaptors, software, motorisation and calibration documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pacorr PC-DWT used for?

The PC-DWT calibrates compatible pressure gauges by comparing their indications with reference pressure established using calibrated weights and a piston-cylinder assembly. It supports laboratory, maintenance and quality-control calibration work.

What pressure options are listed for the PC-DWT?

Pacorr lists 35, 70, 100, 160, 350, 600 and 700 bar options. The usable pressure interval and available increments depend on the selected piston and weight configuration. Confirm these against your required calibration points before ordering.

Does the PC-DWT use oil or compressed air?

The specified operating fluid is oil. The standard accessories include 500 ml of operating fluid. Confirm that the gauge and its wetted components are compatible with the specified oil before connecting them.

Which gauge adaptors are included?

The standard accessory set includes 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch BSP adaptors. A right-angle adaptor and two-gauge adaptor are optional. Include the gauge thread size and connection details in your enquiry.

Is a calibration certificate supplied?

Yes. A traceable calibration certificate is included. If your purchasing procedure requires an accredited certificate, specify the required pressure range and documentation so the issuing laboratory and applicable scope can be confirmed.

Can the tester be supplied in different pressure units?

The listed options include bar and psi, with kPa and MPa available optionally. Conversion weight sets are also optional. Specify your required units before ordering so the weight set and calibration documentation match your application.

Are calibration software and a motorised version included as standard?

No. DWT calibration software and the motorised version are optional. Request them separately and confirm their functions and configuration requirements with Pacorr.

What maintenance does the PC-DWT require?

Follow the supplied instruction manual for fluid care, cleaning, seal inspection and storage. Use the supplied dust cover and weight-set carrying case as directed. Confirm the recommended oil grade, service procedure and recalibration interval with Pacorr for your operating conditions.

Features and Practical Benefits

Priming pump and screw ram

The priming pump fills the hydraulic circuit, while the screw ram enables pressure adjustment during calibration.

Calibrated stainless steel weights

Non-magnetic stainless steel weight sets provide the calibrated loads used with the piston assembly. Optional incremental weights provide smaller pressure steps.

Adjustable levelling

An adjustable foot and spirit level help position the instrument correctly before use.

Cross-floating calibration

The piston is calibrated using cross-floating techniques. The included traceable calibration certificate provides documentation for the instrument's calibration records.

Connection options

The supplied adaptor set includes 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch BSP sizes. Right-angle and two-gauge adaptors are optional.

Included Accessories

  • Basic instrument and calibrated stainless steel weight set.
  • 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch BSP adaptors.
  • Operating fluid: 500 ml.
  • Spirit level and pointer puller/punch.
  • Spanners and screwdriver.
  • O-rings and seals.
  • Dust cover and wooden carrying case for the weight set.
  • Traceable calibration certificate and instruction manual.

Optional Accessories and Versions

  • Right-angle adaptor: Alternative gauge connection orientation.
  • Two-gauge adaptor: Connection arrangement for two gauges.
  • Conversion weight sets: Conversion between pressure-unit systems.
  • Incremental weight sets: Smaller pressure increments.
  • DWT calibration software: Optional; confirm functions for your setup.
  • Motorised version: Available as an alternative version.

How Does a Dead Weight Tester Work?

A dead weight tester balances the force acting on a piston against the pressure beneath it. At equilibrium, pressure is related to the applied force and the piston-cylinder assembly's effective area:

Pressure = Force / Effective area

In a simplified calculation, force is the total supported mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration. Accurate calibration also accounts for applicable corrections. NIST explains the piston-gauge measurement principle.

For the PC-DWT, connect a compatible gauge, select the appropriate calibrated weights and establish pressure using the priming pump and screw ram. Once the piston reaches its specified floating condition, compare the gauge indication with the reference pressure.

Follow the supplied instruction manual and calibration certificate for the operating sequence, pressure points and corrections.
