What is Bourdon gauge calibration?
Bourdon gauge calibration ensures these mechanical pressure measuring instruments provide accurate and reliable readings. Calibration involves comparing the gauge’s measurements to a reference standard, ensuring it maintains precision across its specified pressure range.
Why is calibration important for Bourdon gauges?
Bourdon gauges are widely used in industrial and laboratory applications to measure gaseous and liquid pressures. Regular calibration is essential to:
- Maintain measurement accuracy over time
- Ensure compliance with industry regulations and safety standards
- Prevent incorrect pressure readings that could lead to system failures or inefficiencies
- Prolong the lifespan of the gauge by detecting early signs of wear or drift
