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 CPB5000HP is
ideal for on-site use for maintenance and service.
Pressure balance, high-pressure version,
model CPB5000HP
Basic principle
Pressure is dened as the quotient of force and area. The
core component of the CPB5000HP 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 DKD/DAkkS calibrated.

Easy operation
The setting of the pressure is made via an integrated pump.
For ne adjustment, a very precisely controllable spindle
pump is tted, with a spindle running within it.
As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there
is a balance of forces between the pressure and the masses
applied. 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.
The piston-cylinder system
Robust instrument design
With the high-pressure model, calibrations up to a maximum
of 5,000 bar (70,000 psi) are possible.
It is built into a stable base and oers exceptional ease-of-
use. With the integrated priming pump and the 250 ml tank,
large test volumes can also be easily lled and primed.
Both the piston and cylinder are manufactured from
hardened steel or tungsten carbide, respectively. These
pairings of materials, in comparison to other materials, have
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.
The overall design of the piston-cylinder system and the
very precise manufacturing of both the piston and the
cylinder, ensures 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 dependent on the
conditions of use.
Tables of masses
The following tables show the number of masses within a
mass set with their nominal mass values and the resulting
nominal pressures for the respective measuring ranges.
Should the instrument not be operated under reference
conditions (ambient temperature 20 °C (68 °F), atmospheric
pressure 1,013 mbar (14.69 psi), relative humidity 40 %), the
measured values must be corrected arithmetically.
Both test connections are tted with knurled nuts and
exchangeable thread adapters with sealing cones. M16 x 1.5,
M20 x 1.5 and 9/16-18 UNF thread adapters with male
threads are included in the scope of delivery.
For the measurement of the ambient conditions, the
CPU6000 CalibratorUnit can be used, see page 6.
The masses are manufactured, as standard, to the standard
gravity (9.80665 m/s²) although they can be adjusted for any
local gravity.

1) Theroretical starting value; corresponds to the pressure value generated by the piston (by its own weight). To optimise the operating 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 range, a xed error based on 10 % of the range applies.
4) Measurement uncertainty assuming reference conditions (ambient temperature 20 °C (68 °F), atmospheric pressure 1,013 mbar (14.69 psi), relative humidity 40 %). For operation
without a CalibratorUnit, corrections must be made if required.

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 CPB-CAL
®
(iPad
app) and/or 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.
CPU6000 series and iPad® app CPB-CAL
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.
Typical application
CPB-CAL iPad® app
The iPad
balances (dead-weight testers) or the reference pressure
while taking the measured parameters from the CPU6000
into account. The conversion can be carried out in all
common pressure units. As an additional parameter, the local
gravity can be given for location-independent measurements.
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.
