[0002] A pressure gauge refers to an instrument that uses an elastic element as a sensitive element to measure and indicate the pressure higher than the ambient pressure, and is widely used in the industrial and scientific research fields. In many fields such as aerospace, petrochemical, and energy, accurate pressure measurement is crucial for ensuring the safety, stability, and efficiency of the production process. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of pressure detection, it is necessary to regularly verify the pressure gauge.
[0003] At present, there are mainly two methods for calibrating precision pressure gauges: 1. Using a piston pressure gauge as a standard for calibration work. It is based on the principle of pressure balance, and a standard pressure value is generated by a piston with a known mass and area reaching equilibrium under the action of pressure, and then compared with the precision pressure gauge to be calibrated. 2. Using a digital pressure as a standard for calibration work. A digital sensor is used to convert the pressure into an electrical signal, which is then digitally processed and displayed, and then compared with the precision pressure gauge to be calibrated. For the above two calibration methods, manual operations such as pressurization, pressure relief, tapping, reading, and recording are required.
