PC6-AV

PRESSURE CALIBRATION FOR AEROSPACE USE

The PC6-AV pressure calibrator is designed as a 2bar/30psi absolute unit (+60 in Hg) that can

be used as a barometer. It calibrates air speed indicators, altimeters and performs leak tests

on the pitot system. It can be used with all types of aircraft, and represents the most recent

development in aerospace calibration.

The system is supplied with a TP1 scissor action pump or the LTP1 low-pressure pump with

fine control. Both pumps incorporate adjustable over pressure protection, to avoid over

pressuring units under test.

The clear LCD display has a back light for easy use in poor light situations and is small and

portable. The PC6-AV has an accuracy (FS) better than 0.025% and resolution (FS) better than 0.01%.

Pressure units can be recorded on the PC6-AV in mbar, inHg, knots, kPA, psi, atm, inH2O, mH2O, mmH2O, bar or mmHg. There are

also two programmable units for custom applications. Altitudes are measured in feet or meters with a range of -3,000 ft. to 105,000

ft. Non-corrosive gases are the preferred pressure media (contact TTI for other media), and the pressure connections are 1/4” NPT

male. Temperature effects are 0.001% of reading/ºC between 10-40ºC, and data capacity is 175 records into a maximum of 20 files,

8K memory with an option to increase that capacity by an additional 8K.

RS232 communication is included in the design and the optional SI-CAL software will present downloaded data in various graphic

forms such as gauges or a scrolling bar and remotely control the PC6-AV via the RS232 cable linked to a PC. Data storage is

compatible with most analysis, database and word processing programs.
