The Series 7250 high speed digital pressure
controllers represent the fifth generation of
automatic pressure controllers from Fluke Calibration and offers unmatched performance, an
active matrix color screen and enhanced control
stability. Utilizing multiple sensors and ranges in
a single instrument, the Series 7250 combines
precision, stability, speed and affordability.
Models 7250xi, 7250i and 7250, up to
2 500 psi (17.2 MPa), use a unique quartz
sensor, the most accurate pressure sensing
technology in a pressure calibrator. Each quartz
sensor is manufactured and tested to provide
the ultimate performance required by a Fluke
Calibration pressure calibrator, ensuring that
every customer receives quality, precision and
stability in their instrument.
Advanced precision
Models 7250xi and 7250i offer advanced percent of reading precision for increased capability
with a single instrument, reducing the investment required to calibrate a wide variety of
pressure devices and ranges. The Model 7250xi
provides 0.005 % of reading precision from
5 % to 100 % of the instrument’s range. This
unmatched precision is achieved through unique
quartz pressure sensing technology and multiple quartz sensors in a single instrument. The
7250xi is available with any full scale range
from 20 to 2 500 psi (140 kPa to 17.2 MPa). The
Model 7250i provides 0.005 % of reading from
25 % to 100 % of range and is available with
any full scale range from 5 to 2 500 psi
(35 kPa to 17.2 MPa).
For pressure below the lower threshold of
5% for the 7250xi and 25 % for the 7250i, the
precision becomes 0.005 % of the lower value.
For example, a 1 000 psi (7 MPa) Model 7250xi
provides 0.005 % of reading from 50 to 1 000
psi (35 kPa to 7 MPa); the precision for pressures
from 0 to 50 psi (0 to 35 kPa) is 0.005 % of
50 psi (35 kPa).
Selecting the full scale range of the 7250xi
and 7250i to purchase is simplified with the
percent of reading capability. Simply determine
the highest pressure required and then decide if
0.005 % of reading is required down to 25 % or
5 % to maintain the appropriate calibration ratio.
The complex analysis associated with selecting
the appropriate single or multirange instruments
with percent of full scale performance is no
longer required. And, since the performance of
the 7250xi and 7250i is continuous throughout
the range, the time consuming task of controlling to atmosphere and switching ranges is
eliminated.
The 7250xi and 7250i not only provide
unequalled precision, but also excellent long
term stability due to the inherent properties of
quartz in combination with several enhancements implemented over the last few years. The
total uncertainty of the 7250xi and 7250i over
a one year calibration interval is 0.009 % of
reading down to 5 % and 25 %, respectively (see
the table, above right). Simplified specifications
eliminate guesswork and “specmanship” to
allow you to determine the actual performance
delivered with every instrument.
Standard precision
For applications that do not require the level of
performance provided in the 7250xi or 7250i,
the Model 7250 offers an economical approach
to automatic pressure testing and calibration
with a precision of 0.003 % of full scale for
ranges to 2 500 psi (17.2 MPa).
High pressure precision
For applications that require pressures up to
3 000 psi (21 MPa), the Model 7250HP provides
total uncertainty (one year calibration interval)
of 0.013% of reading down to 30% of the full
scale. The 7250HP provides the high speed
control and performance of the standard 7250
with a full scale pressure range of 3 000 psi
(21 MPa) absolute.
The Series 7250 features a unique fusedquartz sensor. This rugged transducer offers
unequalled precision and a stability of
0.0075 % of reading per year.
High-speed pressure
control
All Series 7250 instruments
up to 2 500 psi (172 bar) reach
setpoint in 20 seconds or less
into a 15 cubic inch (245 cc)
volume, with no overshoot, to
allow high-speed pressure test
and calibration.
Dual control modes
The Series 7250 also provides
two user-selectable control
modes: active and passive
mode. In active mode, the 7250 is continually
maintaining the setpoint and can compensate
for small leaks and pressure changes due to
temperature. In passive mode, the user defines
a control band and the 7250 will turn off the
controller once it achieves the setpoint within
the control band. In a leak-free and temperature-stable system, passive mode contributes
no additional uncertainty, providing optimum
performance.
Automating pressure test and
calibration
The 7250xi, 7250i and 7250 are easy to use and
can automate your calibrations in several ways:
Step up/down: for calibrations where the
increments are fixed intervals, enter a userdefined step value. The Series 7250 increases
or decreases the pressure by the step amount
with the jog dial—no more lengthy keystroke
sequences to program.
Sweep test: for simple exercising routines,
as with dial gauges, enter a start value, a stop
value, and number of times to repeat the cycle.
The Series 7250 will automatically exercise the
device under test prior to the calibration run.
Onboard programs: For frequently used or
lengthy calibrations, the Series 7250 can store
up to 20 user-defined programs/profiles with up
to 1000 steps total in internal memory.
Computer interface: Every Series 7250 is
provided with both an RS-232 and IEEE-488
interface, and Series 7250 syntax follows SCPI
protocol for easy programming. COMPASS®,
an off-the-shelf software package is available in addition to the LabVIEW® driver, a free
download and optional MET/CAL® driver. As
a standard feature, software written for the
previous generation Series 7215, 7010 and 6000
instruments is fully supported by the Series
7250. The Series 7250 can also be set to 510
emulation mode to use software originally written for the DPI 510. Firmware updates can also
be performed over the RS-232 interface.
Versatility to handle any pneumatic
pressure calibration
The Series 7250 is versatile enough to handle
almost any type of pneumatic pressure
calibration.
Wide pressure range: available with any full
scale pressure between 5 and 2 500 psi (35 kPa
and 17.2 MPa) or for higher pressures select the
3 000 psi absolute (21 MPa) range.
2 Fluke Calibration Series 7250 Ruska Pressure Controller/Calibrator
Pressure units/scales: Select from over
twelve standard units of measure, including
inHg at 0 °C and 60 °F, kPa, bar, psi, inH2O at
4 °C, 20 °C and 60 °F, kg/cm2, mmHg at 0 °C,
cmHg at 0 °C, and cmH2O at 4 °C, and two userdefined units.
Head pressure: Automatic correction for head
pressure differences
Absolute mode: The 7250i and 7250 offer
three different methods to make absolute pressure measurements. The barometric reference
option provides the most convenient method
and is available on ranges 15 psi (1.0 bar) and
higher. Alternatively, the vacuum reference
option allows the connection of an external
vacuum pump to the reference port of the
instrument. An onboard vacuum sensor monitors
the reference vacuum and allows for automatic
zeroing in absolute mode. This option provides
the lowest overall uncertainty since it does not
include the additional uncertainty of a secondary barometric reference sensor. For pressure to
50 psia (350 kPa) permanent absolute models
are also available. The 7250xi is only available
with the barometric reference option for absolute measurement.
Autovent and autozero: With few keystrokes,
the Series 7250 will vent the test port to atmosphere or automatically zero itself (autovent is
not applicable to permanent absolute models).
Protection of the device under test: Set
upper and lower pressure limits to ensure
protection of the device under test.
The large color display allows the pressure value to be displayed even
when viewing a submenu selection such as the units selection screen
shown above.
Options
The Series 7250 can be provided for gauge
mode operation, or with:
• Optional vacuum (negative gauge) mode for
bidirectional devices
• Optional barometric reference for absolute
mode calibrations
• Permanent absolute ranges to 50 psia (350
kPa) full scale which include a tare feature for
simulated gauge mode operation
The Series 7250 Pressure Controller/Calibrator
can easily automate your test and calibration
workload. All are easy to use, easy to maintain, and have the reliability, performance and
features that you want. The Series 7250 features
an easy-to-navigate menu structure with full
text descriptions for menus and commands.
