The deadweight tester is a specific standard in calibration that relies on pressure balance to calibrate and restore instruments designed to measure pressure. These devices will apply a set pressure to a device using calibrated weights. It is one of the most efficient and economical ways of measuring pressure calibration.   Using high quality hydraulic deadweight testers to provide rapid stabilization and assist with fine-tuning. In the following guide, a closer look at the features of deadweight testers can help you choose the best devices for your next application.   How Does a Deadweight Tester Work?   The deadweight tester operates by producing pressure as it compresses objects inside its pot-like design. The purpose of the application is to restore equilibrium between the device being tested and the known reference.   The reason that deadweight testers are favored in pressure measurement is due to their mechanical functioning. This provides a higher level of accuracy and the measu
