Dead Weight Tester MT-L100DW

Description

1. Introduction to Dead Weight Tester MT-L100DW

The Dead Weight Tester MT-L100DW is a high-precision pressure calibration instrument designed for laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and quality assurance applications. It is a primary standard pressure device that provides reliable and accurate reference pressure for testing and calibrating pressure gauges, transmitters, and sensors. This instrument is suitable for both high-pressure and low-pressure calibration, allowing users to maintain stringent accuracy standards in industrial and laboratory environments.

The MT-L100DW is engineered to support dual synchronous gauge testing, meaning two pressure gauges can be tested at the same time, increasing operational efficiency. Its design combines a robust anti-breakage piston and rod structure, a high-capacity oil reservoir for pump priming, and the ability to calibrate multiple gauges along extended pipelines, making it an essential tool for pressure calibration professionals.


2. Key Features and Functional Advantages

The Dead Weight Tester MT-L100DW comes with a variety of features that enhance precision, durability, and ease of use:

  • Dual Gauge Testing Capability
    The tester allows two gauges to be calibrated simultaneously, which saves time and ensures uniform accuracy across instruments.

  • Fast Plug Pressure Function
    Enables rapid application and adjustment of pressure, reducing setup time and increasing efficiency.

  • Anti-Breakage Rod and Piston Structure
    The internal piston and rod are designed to resist mechanical damage, providing long-term durability and consistent performance.

  • High Oil Capacity for Pump Priming
    The tester’s reservoir allows for sufficient oil filling to prime the pump efficiently, ensuring smooth operation without interruption.

  • Long Calibration Distance
    Designed to support calibration of several gauges along a pipeline or extended system, enabling flexible use in large-scale testing environments.

  • Primary Pressure Standard
    The MT-L100DW defines pressure scales with precision, serving as a primary reference standard for laboratory calibration and factory verification of pressure instruments.

  • High Pressure Range
    With a range extending up to 1000 bar, the device is capable of testing and calibrating instruments across a wide spectrum of pressure requirements.

  • Calibration and Adjustment Functions
    Facilitates fine-tuning, calibration, and adjustment of gauges and sensors, providing professional-grade accuracy and repeatability.


3. Working Principle and Operation

The Dead Weight Tester MT-L100DW operates on the classic dead weight principle, which uses calibrated weights to generate precise pressures:

  1. Weights Application
    Standardized masses are placed on a piston to generate a known force.

  2. Pressure Transmission
    The force is transmitted via a piston-cylinder system filled with hydraulic oil or other suitable fluids.

  3. Gauge Testing
    The applied pressure is transmitted to the gauges under test, allowing precise calibration against the known reference pressure.

  4. Display and Measurement
    A built-in LCD displays piston displacement, which can be used for fine adjustments and verification of pressure applied.

This method ensures high accuracy because the applied pressure is directly determined by the mass of the weights and local gravity, minimizing dependency on electronic sensors or external calibration.


4. Medium Compatibility

The MT-L100DW is compatible with a variety of hydraulic fluids, making it versatile for different calibration applications:

  • Mixed Oil for Pressures Below 250 bar

  • Sebacate Oil for Pressures Equal or Above 250 bar

  • Kerosene-Based Oils

  • Transformer Oils for Specific Industrial Applications

Users can select the appropriate working medium based on pressure range, temperature, and fluid properties to ensure optimal performance.
