Overview

IntroductIon

Thank you for purchasing a GaugeCalXP™ Pressure Calibrator from Crystal Engineering. The GaugeCalXP is a self-contained, precision hydraulic pressure

comparator intended for the calibration of pressure gauges rated up to 700 bar or 10 000 PSI. You may fill the GaugeCalXP with your choice of water or oil.

—

Using this comparator for calibration is much faster than deadweight testers and most automated pressure controllers. The GaugeCalXP is so quick and easy

to use, it is ideal for calibrating those low cost gauges that are often overlooked for ISO9000 compliance.

In fact, you can calibrate most gauges, transmitters, pressure safety valves, sensors, and switches in less than ten minutes (5 to 10 test points, increasing and

decreasing pressure) using the methods described in this manual.

Spend a few minutes to read this manual and learn how you can get the most benefit from your GaugeCalXP.

Note: We recommend using one of these three Crystal reference gauges with the GaugeCalXP.

2 Install the CPF-compatible  ttings and any applicable adapters:

Crystal Pressure Fittings (CPF) simplify your connections and create fi nger-tight, leak-free connections up to 10 000 PSI/700 bar/70MPa working pressure.

No sealing tape is required. See the diagram below, or visit the website, for more information on CPF.

our GaugeCalXP is fi tted with a CPF base (7/16-20 MP) and will connect with the two included CPF male fi ttings (MPM-MPM) and two included 1/4" female

Y

fi ttings (MPF-1/4FPT). Should you have a need for additional fi ttings, visit crystalengineering.net or contact your Crystal Distributor. Refer to the diagram

ollowing page for connection information.
