Gas Pressure (Gauge)

All types of both atmosphere and negative pressure referenced devices are calibrated:

  • Pressure transducers / transmitters
  • Micro-manometers
  • Inclined manometers
  • Capacitance manometers
  • Differential pressure switches


Calibrations range from –100kPa to 7MPa with uncertainties from 0.15% + 0.04 Pa at 133 Pa to 0.0020% + 0.21Pa at 350 kPa.

   
Gas Pressure (Differential)

This service is especially tailored to the calibration of aircraft pressure instruments to BS2G199 at line pressures up to 206 kPa:

  • Air Data and Pitot Static Test Sets
  • Airspeed Indicators
  • Altimeters
  • Rate of Climb (Vertical Speed) Meters
 
On Site Calibration

Chell has now achieved BS/EN/ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for on site work. We can arrange to travel to your site and carry out a quick and efficient calibration of your instrumentation with minimal disruption.

  • On site calibration of mass flow controllers, meters, rotameters and provers.
  • Ideal if instruments cannot be easily removed from your process for calibration.
  • Minimal down time.
  • UKAS accredited.
  • Low uncertainties.
  • Can accommodate instruments with ranges from 10 cc/min to 3600 l/min (air equivalent).
