AMETEK Crystal GaugeCalHP – Hydraulic Pressure Comparator

Description

AMETEK Crystal GaugeCalHP – High-Pressure Hydraulic Pressure Comparator

The Crystal Engineering GaugeCalHP Pressure Comparator by AMETEK Calibration is a portable, self-contained pressure generation system designed for efficient calibration and testing of industrial pressure instruments.

Engineered to deliver hydraulic pressures up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar / 100 MPa), the GaugeCalHP provides precise pressure adjustment, simple operation, and dependable performance for demanding industrial applications.

Its robust anodized aluminum construction, two-port pivoting manifold, and integrated safety features make it an excellent solution for calibration laboratories, maintenance workshops, and field testing operations.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-Pressure Generation: Produces hydraulic pressures up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar / 100 MPa).
• Vacuum Capability: Generates vacuum down to −12.5 psi (−0.86 bar / −86.2 kPa).
• Low-Pressure Pneumatic Testing: Operates without hydraulic fluid to generate air pressure up to 400 inH₂O (995 mbar).
• Precision Fine Adjustment: Fine-adjustment sensitivity of 0.01 inH₂O (0.025 mbar) for controlled pressure changes.
• Portable Design: Self-contained construction suitable for laboratory and field calibration.
• Pivoting Manifold: Two-port manifold accommodates larger pressure gauges and simplifies instrument connections.
• Integrated Venting System: Provides controlled pressure release to help protect sensitive mechanical gauges.
• No-Mess Drip Tray: Captures fluid during air bleeding and instrument connection.
• Flexible Test Media: Compatible with water, suitable light oil, and air, according to the testing application.
• Durable Construction: Anodized aluminum enclosure with stainless steel wetted components.
• Efficient Calibration: Faster pressure adjustment and testing than many conventional deadweight tester arrangements.
• System Compatibility: Can be combined with compatible AMETEK Crystal reference pressure instruments.

Why Choose the GaugeCalHP Comparator?

The AMETEK Crystal GaugeCalHP combines high-pressure capability, durability, and precise adjustment in a compact calibration solution.

Compared with traditional deadweight testers, its straightforward operating mechanism helps technicians perform calibration procedures more efficiently.

The integrated manifold and fine-adjustment features make it easier to connect instruments, establish test pressures, and perform repeatable pressure calibration checks.

When paired with a suitable calibrated reference instrument, such as the AMETEK Crystal XP2i Digital Pressure Gauge, the GaugeCalHP becomes a practical pressure calibration system for industrial maintenance and quality control.

Compatible Equipment and Accessories

• AMETEK Crystal XP2i Digital Pressure Gauge
• AMETEK Crystal nVision Reference Recorder
• Compatible AMETEK 30 Series pressure calibrators
• CPF high-pressure fittings and adapters
• High-pressure hoses and connection kits
• Optional weatherproof rolling carrying case
• Compatible pressure calibration software and accessories

Reference pressure instruments, optional carrying cases, and accessories are supplied according to the selected configuration. The comparator itself generates pressure; measurement accuracy depends on the connected reference instrument.
