ABOUT THIS MANUAL

BBOOUUTT

This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the PG7000 Piston Gauges Operation and Maintenance Manual, to operate a PG7307 Piston Gauge.

PG7307 is similar in conception and features to a PG7302 piston gauge. PG7307 differs in that it includes provisions for the application of an independent controlled clearance pressure to the outside surface of the cylinder. This includes differences in the piston-cylinder module and the mounting post. This manual covers the aspects of PG7307 that are different from PG7302.

To operate a PG7307, use the PG7000 Operation and Maintenance Manual and follow the instructions and information applying to PG7302. Refer to this manual for details on the PG7307 piston-cylinder mounting post and piston-cylinder modules and the use of controlled clearance pressure.

(CAUTION) is used in throughout the manual to identify user warnings and cautions.

(NOTE) is used throughout the manual to identify operating and applications advice and

additional explanations.

1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PG7307 is a special model in the PG7000 line of piston gauges. PG7307 is identical to PG7302 except for its piston-cylinder modules and mounting post.

PG7307 is designed to allow an independent controlled clearance pressure (CCP) to be applied to the outside surface of the cylinder. The controlled clearance pressure is used to alter the pressure deformation coefficient of the piston-cylinder to study the piston-cylinder’s elastic deformation with pressure. Relative to PG7302, PG7307 has different piston-cylinder modules that can only be mounted in the PG7307 mounting post. The PG7307 mounting post includes a passage for application of the independent controlled clearance pressure and there is a connection on the rear of the platform for the controlled clearance pressure source.

PG7307 is available on a limited basis and, generally, is only offered for use in national measurement institutes or other laboratories performing fundamental research in pressure metrology.

This manual was intended to be used as a supplement to the PG7000 Operation and Maintenance

Manual. PG7307 is identical to PG7302 except for its piston-cylinder modules and mounting post. To operate a PG7307, use the PG7000 Operation and Maintenance Manual and the information on PG7302 referring to this manual for PG7307 piston-cylinder module mounting post and controlled clearance pressure information.

1.2 PLATFORM REAR PANEL

The PG7307 Platform rear panel provides the connection to the PG Terminal, remote communication connections, the measured pressure and controlled clearance pressure connection ports.
