Dipping Bell PTF 4000

Product catalog summary
Overview:
The PTF 4000 is a high-precision dipping-bell primary pressure standard designed for low-pressure applications, offering a class 0.02% accuracy. It is suitable for laboratory, university, cleanroom measurements, and calibration of pressure transmitters and sensors.
Basic Principle:
The device operates on the principle of a beam balance with a bell-shaped cylinder immersed in a sealing liquid. Pressure applied under the bell creates buoyancy, which is balanced by adjusting weights on the opposite side. This method is based on the formula: Pressure = Force / Area.
Functionality:
The PTF 4000 uses a thin-walled stainless steel dipping-bell on a precision balance with electronic force compensation. It features complex control algorithms for high precision and reproducibility, considering environmental factors. Key advantages include direct display, easy automation, permanent reproducibility, and optimal damping of pressure fluctuations.

Datasheet PTF 4000 HUBER INSTRUMENTE AG, Grellingerstrasse 23, CH-4208 Nunningen PTF 4000 - Dipping-Bell Primary Pressure Standard class 0.02% Fields of application Best measurement results for adjustment- test- and calibration works in the field of low pressure applications. For example: - Laboratory - University - Cleanroom measurements - Pressure transmitters - Pressure sensors Basic principle of Dipping-Bell On one side of a beam balance, a hanging bell-shaped hollow cylinder (bell) with exactly known effective cross-sectional area immerses in a sealing liquid with low surface tension is mounted. On the other side from the beam balance a pan with weights. Pressure, conducted through the liquid under the bell, results in a buoyancy which is compensated by removing weights from the other side. This method is based on the basic definition: Pressure equals force divided by area. Functionality PTF 4000 The PTF4000 Pressure Primary Standard is a state-of-the-art application of this basic principle. The dipping-bell, made from a thin-walled stainless pipe - closed on the top, is located as underload on a precision balance with electronically controlled force compensation. The pressure to be measured passes through two tubes through the sealing liquid under the bell, thus resulting in a buoyancy. The resulting force is measured and compensated electronically. Complex control algorithms compute under consideration of environmental factors (optional) high precision and reproducibility. This results in the following advantages: » Direct display without manipulation » Easily automated by data output » Permanent reproducibility » Optimal damping of pressure fluctuations HUBER INSTRUMENTE AG, Grellingerstrasse 23, CH-4208 Nunningen Page 1 /2 All rights reserved
