2.3.4 How the cross-sectional area responds to pressure
.
At higher pressures, the effective cross-sectional surface changes due to the pressure load.
The ratio of the cross-section and prevailing pressure is linear within an initial approximation. It is
represented by the coefficient of expansion caused by pressure distortion (
).

Without the correction, measurements would differ from the nominal applied pressure by 0.01%.

The

instrument bases are available in 2 variants:
Standard hydraulic base
LR-
Cal
LDW-H-S
- up to max 1,200 bar / 16,000 psi
- with integrated pressure generation through priming pump and spindle pump
- tubing made of stainless steel (1.4404), 6 x 2 mm
- Standard pressure transmission medium: mineral oil
Optional: Sebacate oil, brake fluid, Skydrol or Fomblin oil
High-pressure hydraulic base
LR-
Cal
LDW-H-H
- up to max 1,400 bar / 20,000 psi
- with integrated pressure generation through priming pump and spindle pump
- tubing made of stainless steel (1.4404), 6 x 2 mm
- Pressure transmission medium: mineral oil or Sebacate oil
As a standard both instruments bases are fitted with a connection for the piston-cylinder system with
G3/4 B (male) thread.
The optional quick connector can be installed as an option allowing a quick and safe change of the
piston-cylinder system without the need for tools (not available for the hydraulic high-pressure
version!).
The connection of the test item is made without tools using a quick-connection. Via the freely-rotating
knurled nut, the test item can be oriented as required. As standard, a threaded insert with a G1/2
female thread is provided. Other threaded inserts are available to connect the most common pressure
measuring instruments.
