Description
The Ashcroft 1303 Dead Weight Tester is a precision instrument designed for calibrating and verifying pressure measuring devices with high accuracy and reliability. It operates on the principle of applying known pressures using calibrated weights and measuring the resulting pressure with a piston-cylinder assembly. This method ensures precise calibration of pressure gauges, transmitters, and other pressure instruments across a wide range of pressures and applications. The Ashcroft 1303 is suitable for use in laboratories, production facilities, and field environments where accurate pressure measurement is critical for ensuring safety and compliance with industry standards. It features robust construction and a stable base for repeatable measurements, along with a precise hydraulic system that minimizes hysteresis and drift. The dead weight tester includes a variety of weights and adapters to accommodate different pressure ranges and types of instruments, making it a versatile tool for calibration professionals.
