Calibration Hand Pumps

Simple pressure generation by hand

Calibration hand pumps serve as pressure generators for the testing, adjustment and calibration of mechanical and electronic pressure measuring instruments through comparative measurements. These pressure tests can take place in the laboratory or workshop, or on site at the measuring point.

What is a Calibration Hand Pump?

A calibration hand pump is a portable device that generates pressure for calibration instruments. The 2 main types of calibration hand pumps are pneumatic and hydraulic. The difference between these two is that pneumatci pressure pumps generate air pressure and hydraulic pressure pumps generate liquid pressure.

What is the Purpose of a Calibration Hand Pump?

A calibration hand pump is used for testing and calibration of pressure measuring instruments. This is a simple, cost-efficient process to verify accuracy without needing much equipment.

When Should a Calibration Hand Pump be Used?

A calibration hand pump can be used in a variety of situations. You can use these portable devices to verify pressure gauge accuracy when in the field. They are also perfect for low pressure instruments or wherever high pressure is not required.
