Ordering Information
Models are available with various configurations, pressure ranges, and increments. Options include single or dual piston/cylinder units and different engineering units (psi, kg/cm², bar, kPa).
Certification
Each tester is accompanied by a Certification of Accuracy and Traceability to NIST, with additional certifications available.
Specifications:
The document details configurations for pressure measurement units, specifying ranges in kg/cm², bar, and kPa. Units are designed for local gravity and come with independent weight sets for each piston/cylinder combination. Custom configurations are available upon request.
Accuracy Options:
Units can be customized for different accuracy levels: 0.025% and 0.015% of reading, with specific model number modifications. The 0.015% accuracy units require user specification quotations.
Gravity and Certification:
Local gravity must be specified in gals on order. Traceable certification with data is available, with model number modifications to include these options.
Examples:
Examples of model number configurations are provided, illustrating how to include local gravity, certification, and accuracy options.

Type T Deadweight Tester-1

Pressure Range PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The M&G Type T Hydraulic Deadweight Tester offers laboratory Accuracy accuracy in an instrument that is designed to withstand an industrial to ±0.015% of Indicated reading environment. These testers are designed to be primary pressure Accuracy ±0.025 and 0.100% is also standards and are available in several ranges and engineering units Repeatebility ±0.005% of Indicated reading - single column for field use Robust construction allows for repeated daily use Complete tester with tools, cases, and fittings Traceable certification supplied with each tester Laboratory accuracy The M&G Type T Deadweight tester is available in ranges to 1,000 bar (15,000 psi). This robust tester has been engineered to withstand the stresses of daily operation in a manufacturing environment and still maintain its accuracy and repeatability. The Type T is constructed of 300 series stainless steel and Monel and is supplied with Buna N O-rings as a standard unit. Viton and EPT O-rings are optional. This deadweight can use a water/alcohol mix or hydraulic oils for the pressure medium. AMETEK® CALIBRATION INSTRUMENTS

Type T Deadweight Tester-2

Model T® Hydraulic Deadweight Tester FEATURES Three accuracies available These instruments are available in ±0.100%, ±0.025%, and ±0.015% of reading. The accuracy stated is the overall accuracy of the tester. The accuracy takes into account linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. It would also account for intrinsic corrections. Site corrections are the user’s responsibility and the unit will not perform as specified without them. The testers are manufactured to either International Standard Gravity of 9.80665 m/s2 or to a user specified local gravity. Re-entrant piston / cylinders The Type...

Type T Deadweight Tester-3

Model T® Hydraulic Deadweight Tester Overhung weight carriers Another feature of Type T deadweight tester is the way that the weights are positioned on the carrier. M&G utilizes an overhung weight carrier design. This design employs a tube carrier that is positioned over the column and onto the piston driver. The center of gravity for the stack of weights is lowered, reducing side thrust and friction; which lengthens the life of the piston/ cylinder assembly. This also improves measurement accuracy. Weight carrier Deadweight piston & cylinder Instrument under test Test manifold Check valves Fluid...
