IA 110 Calibrating a pressure sensor

FEATURES:

 

  • Test-pressure generated with dead-weight piston manometer
  • Electronic pressure sensor with ceramic measuring cell
  • Plotting a calibration curve1
  • Compact experimental unit for group working or demonstration

DESCRIPTION

Technical Description

The experimental unit IA 110 can be used to calibrate an electronic pressure sensor under practical conditions.

The test pressure is generated with a conventional piston manometer. The piston is loaded with weight rings and generates a defined test pressure p = Fw/AP, where Fwis the force due to the weights and AP is the cross-sectional area of the piston. A hand-operated spindle is used to relieve the pressure after measurement allowing the piston to return to a rest position. The influence of friction is minimised by rotating the piston during measurement. The test pressure generated in this way is applied to the diaphragm of a pressure sensor. The pressure-dependent electrical output signal is indicated on a digital display.

The pressure sensor used is a state-of-the-art ceramic measuring cell, in which strain-dependent piezo resistors are mounted on a ceramic diaphragm. The resistors are configured to form a measuring bridge. An integrated amplifier circuit evaluates the pressure-dependent detuning of the measuring bridge and outputs a proportional voltage signal.

The kit also includes a second pressure sensor in the form of a cutaway model for enhanced clarity. The entire experimental unit is contained in a compact housing, and is easy to handle.

The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.
