Launching at the Mtec exhibition, Calibration Dynamics says its APC 800 automated gas pressure calibrator represents the very latest in the design and manufacture of intelligent pressure controllers
With some models benefiting from the same pressure sensor technology as found in the series 6100 digital pressure transducer, the APC 800 can measure and control pressure with an accuracy of 0.01% of full scale up to 6000psi (400bar).
It is also available with a quartz reference transducer offering accuracy as good as 0.008% reading in the APC800-X derivative.
The user friendly interface is enhanced by a colour screen and the clear concise presentation of the menu makes the device extremely easy to use.
The membrane style keypad with large navigation keys, numeric input and jog functions provide trouble free use while being extremely easy to maintain.
The APC 800 uses proprietary pressure control technology which enables fast pressure control and no overshoot with a control stability to 0.0012% of range.
The instrument also has the ability to automatically characterise the control profile to provide optimum pressure control into the specific load volume connected to the test port.
This unique control valve technology permits quiet operation making this the ideal pressure calibrator for both production and laboratory environments.
It also minimises the number of mechanical components necessary which reduces time consumption and potentially expensive maintenance costs.
The APC 800 can be specified with either a single pressure range or a lower range secondary sensor to further enhance performance over a wide pressure range providing increased flexibility.
A variety of pressure ranges are available from 2000psi (140bar) to 6000psi (400bar) highlighting the amazing versatility of this device.
The APC 800 also boasts an integrated data logger and three programmable relay outputs.
It offers ethernet, IEEE488 and RS 232 communications and automated zeroing.
