Industrial Hydraulic Dead Weight Testers
| 580 Series | The 580 series base features a dual-area screw press for easy low-pressure priming and fine control at high pressure. It includes four adjustable leveling feet and an internal reservoir. The standard base is rated to 16,000 psig and is available separately as a model 580C for use as a gauge comparator or high pressure hand pump.
DH-Budenberg provides special deadweight tester oil with their equipment but other hydraulic fluids such as distilled water can be used as long as certain guidelines are followed. |

580L
|
The DH-Budenberg 580L hydraulic deadweight tester consists of a 1/16 in2low-pressure piston-cylinder assembly and a standardized 580 series base. Standard range: 10 – 1600 psig.
|
||||||||||||
580M
|
The DH-Budenberg 580M hydraulic deadweight tester consists of a 1/40 in2medium-pressure piston-cylinder assembly and a standardized 580 series base. Standard range: 30 – 4000 psig.

580DX
|
The DH-Budenberg 580 DX hydraulic deadweight tester has a patented dual-range piston system which allows low-pressure and high-pressure calibrations to be performed without changing pistons or weight sets. This system incorporates a 1/80 in2 piston inside a 1/8 in2 piston contained within the same cylinder. This assembly is made from high quality, fully stabilized tungsten-carbide. Standard ranges: 10 – 800 psig and 100 – 10,000 psig.
|
||||||||||||
580HX
|
The DH-Budenberg 580 HX hydraulic deadweight tester uses the same dual-range piston system as the 580 DX. This system incorporates a 1/160 in2 and 1/8 in2 combination piston cylinder assembly. Standard ranges: 10 – 800 psig and 200 – 16,000 psig.
|
||||||||||||
580EHX
|
The DH-Budenberg 580 EHX hydraulic deadweight tester consists of an extended-pressure base, overhang weight set, and a dual-range piston system made for extremely high pressure calibration. The piston areas for this model are 1/160 in2 and 1/8 in2. Standard ranges: 10 – 600 psig and 200 – 40,000 psig.

Accuracy Statements
|
Total Uncertainty takes into account all factors which could effect the pressure reading. Total Uncertainty is usually expressed in parts per million of reading. DH-Budenberg guarantees the total uncertainty of their industrial units for readings above 10% of the unit’s total range after correction had been made with their software compensation program. UKAS is an independant accreditation body in the UK and will certify individual pieces of DH-Budenberg equipment. |
