5.3.6
RECALIBRATION
PRINCIPLE
Piston-cylinders and mass sets are recalibrated by redetermining the effective area of the
piston-cylinder and the true mass values of the masses. It is recommended that
piston-cylinders and mass sets be recalibrated at the end of their first and second years
of operation. Then, based on their observed stability, a longer calibration interval can usually
be assigned. Though other organizations may be able to perform these calibrations, it is
recommended that a
DHI
Calibration Service be used, if possible.
The recalibration process may find values for piston-cylinder effective area, pressure
coefficient and mass values that are different from the previous values. The PG7000
piston-cylinder and/or mass set files must be changed to reflect the new values (see
Sections 5.3.2.1 and 5.4.2.1).
5.3.6.1
UPDATING PISTON-CYLINDER MODULE FILES
See Section 3.11.1.2 for information on editing a piston-cylinder module file to
reflect new calibration data.
5.4
MASS SETS
5.4.1
CLEANING
Care should always be taken with all PG7000 masses, including the piston assembly and the
mass loading bell, to avoid contaminating them with liquids or particles. They should never
be handled with bare hands.
Over time, or by an accidental incident, masses may become soiled. In these cases, they
can be cleaned.
Masses should be cleaned with a non-abrasive general purpose cleaner (such as glass
cleaner) and wiped dry with lint free paper towels.

UPDATING MASS SET FILES
See Sections 3.11.1.7 and 3.11.1.12 for information on editing mass set and
mass loading bell files to reflect new calibration data. The mass of the piston
assembly is included in the piston-cylinder module file (see Section 3.11.1.2).
