Bulletin P-LPCP
The Model LPCP Low Pressure Calibration Pump is a low air pressure source
ith the ability to easily adjust and stabilize. This hand pump possesses a pressure
w
ange of ± 5.8 psi; uses air as the media, and can adjust the pressure easily with
r
great stability. The LPCP is made up of quick connectors for fast instrument connect
and disconnect. The pump has a heat-insulator between the cover and pressure
chamber to lessen the heat effect during the micro-pressure calibration. The adjusting
resolution is up to 0.01 Pa (0.0001 mbar). These features make the LPCP ideal for
calibrating pressure transducers, precision pressure gages, and other pressure
instruments.
CONNECTION
Direct connection
If the connector of the unit under test is M20*1.5, please connect it with the hand
pump directly.
Connect by pipe
If the connector of the unit under test is not M20*1.5, please use the other adapter
to connect.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Positive pressure calibration
1. First, make sure the vent valve (2) is open. Turn the coarse adjust hand-wheel
(5) counterclockwise to the maximum and connect the reference gage and the
gage under test on the ports (1) and (4) tightly.
2. Close the vent valve (2).
3. Turn the coarse adjust hand-wheel (5) clockwise to apply the pressure. Then
use the fine adjust hand-wheel (3) to get the desired value.
4. Calibrate the next point until all calibration points are verified.
5. The next procedure is reverse calibration: turn the coarse adjust hand-wheel
counterclockwise (5) to decrease the pressure. Turn the fine adjust hand-wheel
(3) to get the desired pressure value. Calibrate the pressure one by one until
all selected points are verified.
Negative (Vacuum) pressure calibration
1. First, make sure the vent valve (2) is open. Turn the coarse adjust hand-wheel
2. Turn the hand-wheel (5) counterclockwise to exhaust.
3. Close the vent valve (2). When the pressure approaches the desired vacuum

selected points one by one.

NOTICE
PRECAUTIONS
1. Please don’t add any oil or water into the pipeline.
2. To avoid damaging the airproof surface, please don’t operate the shut-off valve
aggressively.
3. This product can not directly calibrate pressure meters that are used under acid
or alkali conditions. If necessary, you must make sure the meters are cleansed
by CCl
solvent or melted oil spray to avoid any corrosion damage to the test

pump.
MAINTENANCE
Upon final installation of the Model LPCP Low Pressure Calibration Pump, no
routine maintenance is required. A periodic check of system calibration is
recommended. The Model LPCP is not field serviceable and should be returned if
repair is needed (field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty). Be
sure to include a brief description of the problem plus any relevant application
notes. Contact customer service to receive a return goods authorization number
before shipping.
