Engineered for user-friendly and safe operation, this primary standard tool provides consistent, high-accuracy readings, making it an indispensable asset for professionals who require exact pressure calibration for their applications.

High-Precision Calibration for Critical Applications:

Exceptional Accuracy: With an accuracy of up to 0.015% of reading, the PK II dead weight tester is ideal for applications where precision is critical. This makes it suitable for use in industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, power generation, and research laboratories where maintaining precise pressure control is essential for both safety and performance.
Versatile Measurement Ranges: Capable of measuring pressure ranges up to 30 psi, the PK II tester is versatile enough to handle various calibration tasks. It supports various measurement units, including psi, g/cm², bar, mbar, kPa, inH₂O, cmH₂O, and mmHg, allowing users to perform accurate calibrations without additional conversion tools. This versatility is valuable for professionals working in environments with diverse measurement requirements.
Small Incremental Weight Sets: The PK II tester comes equipped with small incremental weight sets that enable fractional output pressure, enhancing the device's accuracy and fine-tuning capabilities. This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where precision adjustments are required, such as in laboratory experiments or during the calibration of sensitive equipment.ks.

Innovative Features for Stability and Reliability:

Self-Regulating Design: The PK II dead weight tester features a self-regulating design that automatically stabilizes the weights, eliminating the need to adjust input pressure manually. This design simplifies the calibration process and reduces the potential for human error, ensuring consistent and repeatable measurements.
Durable Construction: Built with a rugged ceramic measuring ball and an overhung weight carrier, the PK II tester minimizes side thrust and friction, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliable performance. Its robust construction withstands demanding industrial environments, making it a reliable tool for both field and laboratory use.
Quick-Leveling System: The PK II tester includes a quick-leveling system, which is especially beneficial for field use. This feature makes it easy to set up and ensures stability, even on uneven surfaces. The optional tripod further enhances portability and stability, providing a reliable platform for accurate measurements in any location.

Adaptability for Various Environmental Conditions
Available in both local and standard gravity (980.665 gals) versions, the PK II floating ball type pneumatic dead weight tester is adaptable to different geographic locations and environmental conditions. This flexibility allows users to maintain high accuracy regardless of where the calibration is being performed, making the PK II a valuable tool for global operations.
