Chell’s ISO17025 accredited UKAS Laboratory

Gas Pressure - True Differential

Differential pressure calibration techniques are very similar to those used in Absolute and Gauge pressure, with the exception that, instead of being at vacuum or atmosphere, the reference ports of all devices are exposed to a common, controlled pressure that may be higher or lower than the calibration pressure.

 

Chell are, we believe, the only calibration laboratory in the World to have two accredited Schwien Merco-Master manometers working side-by-side. This facility affords us the ability to both measure and generate differential pressures over the range +/- 190 kPa with uncertainties below 30ppm.

The high integrity of our standards allows us to provide a calibration service for the highest echelon of safety critical calibration instruments used to calibrate devices such as

  • Airspeed indicators
  • Altimeters
  • Rate of Climb (or Vertical Speed) Indicators
  • Ps channels of Air Data Test Sets and Pitot Static Testers

    … .. as well as differential pressure transducers, transmitters and dp cells
Another useful feature of the manometers is that their ease of use allows characterisation of transducers at any simulated altitude.
