Digital Orifice Flow Calibrator

Easy to use air flow calibrator for accurate yet quick calibration of high flow rotameters and volume totalizers.

Calibration is the process of comparing a measurement device against an equal or a better standard to verify the closeness of the measurement device to the standard. The standard instrument, commonly called a calibrator, is generally required to be more accurate than the instrument under calibration. Calibrators are characterized by high accuracy, reproducibility, high reliability and stability. A calibrator’s accuracy itself needs to be verified against a known primary or secondary standard and is called traceability of calibration.

In order to ensure that the accuracy of the measurement stays within the claimed specifications, calibration of flow (also pressure and temperature) measuring instruments needs to be carried out on a periodic basis which may be once in six months to once a year as stipulated by the regulatory authorities.

Polltech’s Digital Orifice Flow Calibrator is an easy to use air flow calibrator which can be used for accurately and quickly calibrating high flow rotameters and other instruments. It can also be used to calibrate volumetric device such as Dry Gas Meter or other volume totalizers.

Physical Design Highlights

Digital Orifice Flow Calibrator employs a high-precision orifice assembly for measurement of flow. The assembly consists of an Orifice plate mounted in a specially designed cylindrical tube and is fitted with push fit unions for air inlet and outlet. In the case of PSI-OFC1 this assembly is a stand alone unit which is kept separate from the electronic unit, while for PSI-OFC2 and PSI-OFC3 it is fitted at the back of the electronic unit. The differential pressure that develops across the orifice because of the flow is measured with a precision solid state pressure sensor. Another solid state pressure sensor and a temperature sensor measures absolute pressure and temperature at the inlet of the orifice. The flow rate is computed programmatically with multi-point Linearisation using stored calibration parameters.
