How do you calibrate a D.P. transmitter?


The following steps are to be taken which calibrating:
  1. Adjust zero of the Tx'r.
  2. Static pressure test : Give equal pressure on both sides of the transmitter. Zero should not shift. If it is shifting carry out static alignment.
  3. Vacuum test : Apply equal vacuum to both the sides. The zero should not shift.
  4. Calibration Procedure: 
    1. Give 20 psi air or 24V dc supply to the transmitter.
    2. Vent the L.P. side to atmosphere.
    3. Connect output of the Instrument to a standard test gauge ot Multimeter and adjust zero.
    4. Apply required pressure to high pressure side of the transmitter and adjust the span.
    5. Adjust zero again if necessary.
