Marine pressure calibrators are important instruments used on vessels for accurate measurement and calibration of pressure systems. These devices are used to ensure that pressure-sensitive marine equipment, and systems onboard the ship are functioning correctly and within specified limits. Some of the instruments and electronics found on vessels that can be measured and calibrated with the help of pressure calibration equipment are pressure gauges, transmitters and switches. The accuracy and reliability of these pressure devices is thus maintained, further assuring the safe and efficient operation of various other marine systems.
Pressure calibration is a critical process in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measuring devices used in various applications. It involves the precise calibration of instruments such as pressure gauges, transducers, and manometers in a controlled laboratory environment. Utilizing pressure equipment like pressure balances and deadweight testers, calibration laboratories can achieve high levels of accuracy in their measurements. This process often includes the use of digital pressure indicators and sensors to measure absolute pressure and other pressure types with utmost precision. UKAS-accredited facilities play a vital role in maintaining the standards of pressure calibration by adhering to strict protocols and ensuring that the pressure measurement instruments deliver consistent and reliable results across various temperatures. Proper calibration not only enhances the performance of pressure meters and gauges but also ensures the safety and efficiency of operations dependent on precise pressure measurements.
Marine pressure calibrators are available in a wide range of measurement capabilities, typically covering pressures from a few millibars to several hundred bars. The specific range depends on the model and type of calibrator being used.
There are several types of pressure calibrators commonly used on vessels:
Moreover, marine pressure calibrators may include the following features:
Besides providing you with the pressure calibrator itself, our highly proficient technicians can assist you with the calibration procedure required for the electronic apparatus of your vessel. This process consists of using the pressure calibrator to apply a standard reference pressure to the instrument under test. The calibrator’s display is compared to the reading on the device being calibrated and adjustments are made if necessary. Consequently, the instrument is ensured to accurately measure the pressure.
Precise pressure measurements are vital for the safe and efficient operation of marine systems and instruments. Regular calibration of pressure instruments such as pressure gauges (gauge calibration is a critical process that ensures the accuracy of pressure measurements) helps identify any deviations or inaccuracies in their readings, allowing for corrective action to be taken. Calibrating pressure devices guarantees that critical systems such as fuel, hydraulic and pneumatic operate within the required specifications, reducing the risk of accidents or failures.
Marine vessels, depending on their type and flag state regulations, often require regular calibration and certification of pressure instruments. Mr. Marine Instruments & Controls helps you at every step of this process, facilitating it and rendering your vessels safe and compliant.
