E-DWT-H
Electronic Deadweight Tester
Hydraulic deadweight tester performance
with digital measurement convenience
E-DWT-H Electronic Deadweight Tester™— leave the deadweight behind
A modern alternative to the traditional deadweight tester
E-DWT-H breaks new ground, improving the hydraulic pressure calibration process. E-DWT-H is an electronic calibrator designed to replace mechanical, piston­cylinder and weight based deadweight testers. It’s 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.
This complete hydraulic pres­sure calibration system combines the convenience and precision of continuous, real time electronic pressure measurement with the simple and direct operation of high quality operator controlled pressure generation hardware.
E-DWT-H one year measurement uncertainty is ± 0.02 % of reading with ranges up to 30,000 psi. It can be configured to provide this uncertainty from its full scale down to 1% of its range. Built-in pressure generation and control hardware allow the opera­tor to fill and prime the system under test and generate and pre­cisely adjust pressure throughout the range with ease.
Deadweight tester perfor­mance with digital measure­ment convenience
E-DWT-H offers precision, low measurement uncertainty and the stability over time of a conven­tional deadweight tester without the inconveniences associated with the piston-cylinders, weights, hand pumps, and interconnecting plumbing.
No weights to load and unload or regularly send out for calibration
No need to know and correct for local gravity or ambient temperature
No piston-cylinder changes; switch Q-RPT ranges in seconds
Not sensitive to level or vibration
Able to set and read any pres­sure value exactly, no minimum increment limited by smallest available masses
Operates in any unit of measure while deadweight tester is typi­cally limited to the pressure unit stamped on the mass
Perfect for applications that require setting a nominal pressure precisely on the
device under test and measur­ing it, such as analog gauge calibration
On-board, AutoTest calibration routines and data acquisition
Interfaceable with a PC or laptop to allow for automated data acquisition
Two year calibration interval supported at measurement uncertainty of ± 0.025 % of reading.
Easily recalibrated without crossfloating. Automated cali­bration of E-DWT-H is possible using COMPASS software.

Versatility to cover a broad workload in a variety of environments
The E-DWT-H is at home in metrology and calibration labs, on the production floor or in the field.
It operates with Sebacate cali­bration fluid, mineral oil, Skydrol and other liquids.
An optional battery/charger pack supports up to eight hours of operation away from line power.

AutoTest lets E-DWT-H operators quickly define test points and adjust all of the range-dependent settings with a single function.
The resolution and stability test used by the RPM4-E-DWT are set according to the range of the device under test. The upper limit setting is also set and provides range-based warnings and overpressure protection. While running AutoTests, the operator is prompted to set each sequential test point and test data is stored

in the RPM4-E-DWT for recall or download. Typical test setup is quick and easy, but more com­plex tests can also be stored and reused.
Broad workload coverage
The E-DWT-H has the operational versatility to calibrate and test a broad range of pressure measur­ing instruments including:
Analog gauges
Transducers
Calibrators
Sensors
Transmitters

Reference pressure monitor and Q-RPT quartz reference pressure transducers
The E-DWT-H’s electronic reference pressure monitor is a dedicated version of the Fluke Calibration RPM4, designated RPM4-E-DWT. RPM4-E-DWT can be configured with one or two high precision quartz reference pres­sure transducers (Q-RPTs) with ranges from 7 MPa (1000 psi) to 200 MPa (30,000 psi).
E-DWT-H’s outstanding pressure measure­ment specifications are made possible by Fluke Calibration’s exclusive quartz reference pressure transducer (Q-RPT) modules.
Q-RPTs measure pressure by measur­ing the change in the natural oscillating frequency of a quartz crystal with pressure induced stress. To be qualified for use in a Q-RPT module, each transducer is indi­vidually evaluated and characterized using automated primary pressure standards. Only transducers exhibiting superior levels of lin­earity, repeatability and stability are selected. A proprietary compensation model, derived from 20+ years experience with thousands of quartz pressure transducers, is applied to optimize the metrological characteristics.
Q-RPT module advantages
In addition to outstanding metrological characteristics, Q-RPT modules offer the advantages of:
Negligible warm-up time
Quartz element isolated from test medium
Minimal sensitivity to orientation
Q-RPT measurement uncertainty
% of reading uncertainty gives tremendous rangeability.

Automation and support—integration made easy
E-DWT-H in the field
E-DWT-H has been designed for ease of use in the field performing in-situ calibra­tions and tests. The optional rugged, wheeled case allows quick setup and makes transport easy and worry free. With the battery pack option, eight hours of field application is possible. No need to drain fluid or disassemble hardware for transport. Simply remove from case connect to test item.
Automate data collection and manage calibration assets with COMPASS for Pressure software
E-DWT-H can run stand-alone tests and collect test data. Test data can be downloaded over the RPM4-E-DWT’s RS-232 interface.
The RPM4-E-DWT’s RS-232 interface can also be used to run the E-DWT-H with COMPASS for Pressure software or user developed software.
COMPASS for Pressure software is universal pressure calibration software for the laboratory, which can be used to run simple or complex tests with multiple instruments. The user can create his/her own cali­bration report, and data can be exported to Fluke MET/CAL Calibration Management Software.

Ordering information
Configuring an E-DWT-H Electronic Deadweight Tester
1. Determine the maximum pressure desired and select the Hi Q-RPT from the E-DWT-H Q-RPTs chart.
2. If uncertainty better than ± 0.02 % reading is needed below 10 % of the span of the Hi Q-RPT, add a Lo Q-RPT from the E-DWT-H Q-RPTs chart. Lo Q-RPT cannot be higher than A40M.
3. If desired, specify the high volume variable volume rather than the standard volume variable volume (limits maximum pressure to 100 MPa).
4. Standard preparation for unit is filled with Sebacate oil calibration fluid. See specifications for compatibility with other liquids. If other preparation is needed, must specify either “Shipped Dry, Std Prep,” “Shipped Dry, Skydrol Ready,” or “Shipped Dry, Mineral Oil Ready.” The fill kit accessory is recommended for units that are shipped dry and for refilling in the field.
The configured E-DWT-H instrument designation is: E-DWT-H-HV AhhhM/AlllM
Where: E-DWT-H: Hydraulically operated electronic deadweight tester (E-DWT)
HV: High volume variable volume if desired (limits max pressure to 100
MPa). Do not include if high volume variable volume is not desired. AhhhM: Hi Q-RPT designator AlllM: Lo Q-RPT designator. Do not include if Lo Q-RPT is not desired.
