AUTOMATED MASS HANDLING FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE PRESSURE BALANCES
Abstract
The pressure balance is very widely used in pressure metrology. The instrument’s operating principle requires that different mass combinations be loaded on a piston to set different pressures. An automated mass handling system for an existing line of high performance pressure balances has been introduced. The new system is a simple accessory that automates mass handling in both gauge and absolute measurement modes with mass sets up to 100 kg. When combined with existing automated pressure control, automated mass handling makes fully automated operation of pressure balances possible. Automation of mass handling and pressure balance operation brings both practical and metrological benefits to pressure metrology.
