CALIBRATION
5.1
GENERAL
The instrument is supplied by the manufacturer, complete with
calibration certificate(s). A calibration period of 12 months is
recommended. The actual calibration interval depends on instrument
usage and the total measurement uncertainty acceptable for the
specified application.
The DPI611 is a very precise measuring instrument and the test
equipment and conditions of test must be suitable for the type of
work. The calibration check and calibration adjustment should be
carried out in a controlled environment by a calibration technician.
Note:
A calibration technician must have the necessary
technical knowledge, documentation, special test
equipment and tools to carry out the calibration work on
this equipment.
Note:
GE Measurement and Control can provide a
calibration service that is traceable to international
standards.
Note:
GE Measurement and Control recommend
returning the instrument to the manufacturer or an
approved service agent for calibration. If using an
alternative calibration facility, check that it uses the
standards that follow.
5.2
CALIBRATION CHECK
At the chosen calibration interval, the instrument readings should be
compared with a known pressure standard.
The recommended method starts at 0, increasing in 20% steps to
100% full-scale and then decreasing in 20% steps to 0.
