• Selected by the US
Air Force to replace
conventional, mass/
piston-cylinder based
deadweight testers
E-DWT-10000-AF is an electronic calibrator designed to replace mechanical
piston-cylinder based deadweight
testers. E-DWT is a lighter weight, easier-to-use deadweight tester alternative
that is at home in the lab or instrument
shop, as well as in the field performing
in-situ calibrations and tests.
With E-DWT you get a high performance hydraulic pressure calibration
system that combines an electronic
reference pressure monitor (RPM4) and
manually operated pressure generation and control hardware in a single,
compact and rugged package.
E-DWT offers the ease of use and
precision of continuous, real time
electronic pressure measurement with
the simple and direct pressure control
of high quality, manual hardware.
The electronic reference pressure
monitor is a special version of DHI’s
RPM4, designated RPM4-E-DWT
A70M/A7M-AF. It covers the range
from 0 to 10 000 psi gauge pressure
using two high precision quartz
reference pressure transducers, proven
over 20 years in thousands of DHI
calibration products.
E-DWT includes on-board calibration
routines to assist in setting up, running
and taking data, particularly when
calibrating analog gauges.
RPM4-E-DWT A70M/A7M-AF
includes an AutoRange feature to
automatically select the most appropriate Q-RPT and to optimize the E-DWT
setup to cover the desired range of
operation. A half-turn valve isolates
and protects the Lo Q-RPT from high
pressure when the Hi Q-RPT is in use.
Visual and audible indicators assist the
operator in setting the shut off valve
correctly.
RPM4-E-DWT A70M/A7M-AF is
controlled locally by the operator using
its front panel display, keypad and an
optional foot pedal or remotely by a
computer using COMPASS calibration
software or ASCII character command
strings over its RS-232 interface.
The E-DWT-10000-AF package was
specifically configured for the US Air
Force. It includes the E-DWT instrument, two eight-hour battery packs,
adaptors and a rugged, molded plastic
transport case.
