What is pressure transducer calibration?
Pressure transducer calibration ensures these devices provide accurate pressure measurements by comparing their output signals against a highly accurate reference standard. This process verifies that pressure transducers maintain precision, preventing incorrect readings that could impact industrial processes and safety-critical applications.
Why is calibration important for pressure transducers?
Pressure transducers are widely used in industries such as food processing, oil and gas, utilities, and manufacturing. Over time, environmental factors, heavy usage, and system wear can cause inaccuracies. Regular calibration is crucial to:
- Ensure precision in control systems and automated processes
- Maintain compliance with industry regulations and safety standards
- Prevent system failures due to incorrect pressure readings
- Extend the operational lifespan of the equipment
Can Calibrationhouse provide on-site calibration for pressure transducers?
Yes, Calibrationhouse offers on-site calibration services across the UK, allowing industries to maintain minimal downtime and ensure their pressure transducers are performing accurately in their actual operating environment. For customers who prefer a lab-based service, our Durham facility provides rapid turnaround calibration.
What types of pressure transducers can Calibrationhouse calibrate?
Calibrationhouse has extensive experience calibrating a wide range of pressure transducers, including:
- Wheatstone Bridge Strain Gauge transducers
- Millivolt output pressure transducers
- Amplified voltage output transducers
- Current-limited (4-20mA) transducers
We work with all major manufacturers and can calibrate transducers used in diverse industrial applications.
How often should pressure transducers be calibrated?
The recommended calibration frequency for pressure transducers depends on factors such as operating conditions, industry regulations, and the criticality of their application. Most manufacturers suggest annual calibration, but high-usage or safety-critical transducers may require more frequent checks. Calibrationhouse can provide guidance based on specific operational needs.
