Description
Proven primary standard
Pressure balances (dead-weight testers) are the most
accurate instruments available on the market for the
calibration of electronic or mechanical pressure measuring
instruments. The direct measurement of the pressure
(p = F/A), as well as the use of high-quality materials enable
a very small measurement uncertainty, in conjunction with an
excellent long-term stability.
The pressure balance (dead-weight tester) has therefore
been used for years in factory and calibration laboratories in
industry, national institutes and research laboratories.
Stand-alone operation
Due to its integrated pressure generation and the purely
mechanical measuring principle, the model CPB3800HP is
ideal for on-site use for maintenance and service.
Dead-weight tester, high-pressure version, model
CPB3800HP
Basic principle
Pressure is dened as the quotient of force and area. The
core component of the CPB3800HP is therefore a very
precisely manufactured piston-cylinder system, onto which a
mass load is applied in order to generate the individual test
points.
The mass load is proportional to the target pressure and
this is achieved through optimally graduated masses. As
standard, these masses are manufactured to the standard
gravity (9.80665 m/s²), though they can be adjusted to a
specic location and also UKAS calibrated.

Easy operation
The integrated dual-area spindle pump enables rapid lling
of the test system and smooth pressure generation up to
2,600 bar (40.000 lb/in²). At the same time, the precisely
adjustable spindle pump also enables ne pressure
adjustment. A control schematic for pressure generation on
the instrument base facilitates quick and easy operation.
As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there
is a balance of forces between the pressure and the masses.
The excellent quality of the system ensures that this pressure
remains stable over several minutes, so that the pressure
value for comparative measurements can be read without
any problems, or also so that more complex adjustments can
be carried out on the test item.
Compact instrument design
The CPB3800HP is also particularly notable for its compact
dimensions, which are not altered during operation, since the
spindle runs within the pump body.
With its compact dimensions, the exceptionally robust ABS
plastic case and the low weight associated with these,
the CPB3800HP is also particularly suited for on-site
applications.

The piston-cylinder system
High accuracy over a wide measuring range
The dual-range piston-cylinder system oers two measuring
ranges in one case with automatic measuring range
switching from low-pressure to high-pressure pistons. This
provides the user with an extremely exible measuring
instrument that can cover a wide measuring range with high
accuracy, with only one piston-cylinder system and one
mass set. Additionally two test points can automatically be
achieved by loading the masses once.
Both the piston and cylinder are manufactured from
hardened steel or tungsten carbide, respectively. This
pairings of materials has very low pressure and temperature
coecients of expansion, which results in a very good
linearity for the eective area of the piston and a very high
accuracy.
Piston and cylinder are very well protected, against
contact, impacts or contamination from outside, in a solid
stainless-steel/hardened tool steel case. At the same time,
overpressure protection is integrated, which prevents the
piston from being forced out vertically and avoids damage to
the piston-cylinder system in the event of masses removal
under pressure.

Dual-range piston-cylinder system 2,600 bar
(40,000 lb/in²)
The masses are stacked directly onto the piston shaft. This
makes it easier to place the masses on and thus enables a
lower start value.
The overall design of the piston-cylinder system and the very
precise manufacturing of both the piston and the cylinder,
ensure exceptionally low friction force, which results in
excellent operating characteristics with long free-rotation time
and low sink rates. Thus a high long-term stability is ensured.
Therefore, the recommended recalibration interval is two to
ve years depending on the conditions of use.

characteristics more masses should be loaded.
2) The smallest pressure change value that can be achieved based on the standard mass set. To reduce this, a set of ne increment masses is also available.
3) The accuracy from 10 % of the measuring range is based on the measured value. In the lower part the accuracy is 0.025 % of reading.

CalibratorUnit model CPU6000
The models of the CPU6000 series are compact tools for use
with a pressure balance (dead-weight tester). In particular
when highly accurate measuring values, with measurement
uncertainties of less than 0.025 %, are required, complicated
mathematical calculations and corrections are necessary.
With the CPU6000 in combination with the WIKA-Cal (PC
software) all critical ambient parameters can be registered
and automatically corrected.
The CPU6000 series is made up of three
instruments
Weather station, model CPU6000-W
The CPU6000-W provides measured values such as
atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and the ambient
temperature of the laboratory environment.
Pressure balance sensor box, model CPU6000-S
The CPU6000-S measures the piston temperature and
displays the oating position of the masses.
Digital multimeter, model CPU6000-M
The CPU6000-M fulls the function of a digital multimeter
and power supply unit when electronic pressure transmitters
must be calibrated.
CPU6000 series
Typical application
WIKA-Cal PC software - Weight calculator
With the demo version of the WIKA-Cal software and a CPB
series pressure balance (dead-weight tester), the masses to
be applied and the corresponding reference pressure can be
determined. The pressure balance data (dead-weight tester
data) can be entered into the database manually or imported
automatically via an XML le available online.
All ambient parameters and piston temperature can be
entered manually into WIKA-Cal or can be measured
automatically with the CPU6000 series, so that the highest
accuracy can be achieved. WIKA-Cal demo version can be
downloaded free of charge from the WIKA website.
Further specications on the CPU6000 series can be found
in data sheet CT 35.02.
