Primary Standards

DPG10A, DPG10G


Click Here for more info

The DH-Budenberg DPG10 is the world’s most accurate digital pressure indicator, combining a high-end piston-cylinder assembly with a high accuracy load cell.
With a Total Uncertainty to 20 ppm of reading the DPG10 actually out-performs most traditional deadweight testers with all the functionality of a digital transfer standard.

Available in multiple ranges from 0 – 7,250 psig to 0 – 725 psia.
Two-point Self-calibrations are carried out via an internal standard mass and can be started manually, remotely or pre-programmed to start automatically at a given interval.
External pressure generation is required and these units operate only on clean dry gas.
Adding a Mensor controller or a 550C gauge comparator  results in an extremely fast and stable calibration system.

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.
200 ppm is 0.020%.
Total Uncertainty is the most comprehensive statement of a device’s performance.

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.
UKAS provides special calibration certificates and correction coefficients for greater traceable accuracy than DH-Budenberg can themselves provide.
An additional fee applies for this service Contact Us for details.
