1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AMETEK
®
PK II Pneumatic Deadweight Tester is a primary standard that produces a
pressure by applying force (weight set) over area (the ceramic ball and nozzle). The PK II
tester is NIST traceable and accurate to +0.015% of indicated reading using stainless steel
weights cal brated to international standard gravity at 980.665cm/sec
2
. The unit is intended
for low pressure applications up to 30 PSIG (2 bar). The PK II tester may also be cal brated
to the user’s local gravity or to inches or centimeters of H
2
O at 20°C per ISA recommended
practices, or to reference water columns at 60°F per AGA standard practices.
The PK II tester is self-regulating with accuracy independent of the operator. The tester
utilizes a frictionless ceramic ball which floats on a layer of air within a stainless steel
cylinder.
The PK II tester features a sturdy cast-metal base with integral quick-leveling system for
field or laboratory use. The case also contains a tripod fixture allowing the unit to be tripod
mounted in the field.
