Ametek MG TSQ-1000B-1/C Deadweight Tester, 1 to 1000 bar Hydraulic Type T
Ametek MG TSQ-1000B-1/C Deadweight Tester
Overview
The Type T tester uses a re-entrant piston and cylinder assembly that applies test fluid to both the inside and outside of the cylinder. As pressure rises the clearance between piston and cylinder narrows, which reduces fluid leakage, extends float time and cuts the pumping needed to hold a reading.
The stainless steel and Monel construction, three-leg base with bulls-eye leveling and over-pressure protection let the tester survive daily shop use while still calibrating pressure gauges, relief valves and switches. A dual-volume pump fills the system quickly at low pressure and gives finer control at high pressure, and small incremental weight sets are available separately for fractional pressures.
Features
- Accuracy classes of 0.100%, 0.025% and 0.015% of reading available
- Metric range 1 to 1000 bar (psi, kg/cm2 and kPa versions offered)
- Re-entrant piston/cylinder reduces leakage and increases float time
- Single-column, single-piston TSQ configuration
- 300 series stainless steel and Monel wetted construction
- Water/alcohol mix or hydraulic oil pressure medium
- Overhung weight carrier reduces side thrust and friction
- Over-pressure protection and 3-leg bulls-eye leveling base
Applications
- Calibration of pressure gauges, relief valves and pressure switches
- Primary pressure standards in production and metrology labs
- Field and bench verification of transmitters
