GE Introduces New Pressure Piston Gauge - 2482 Series Designed to Simplify Pressure Sensor and Transmitter Calibrations at Elevated Line Pressure
Houston, Texas, June 2, 2003 - GE Infrastructure Sensing, a leading provider of precision sensing products, systems and services, announced today the availability of the Model 2482 High Line Differential Pressure Piston Gauge. The new Model 2482 provides a unique approach to simplify the calibration of differential pressure sensors and transmitters at elevated line pressures.
The Model 2482 can produce elevated line pressures to 3000 psi, while easily producing differential pressures from fractions of an inch of water to 100 psi with an accuracy of 0.01% of the differential pressure plus 0.00007 psi.
The unique Model 2482 utilizes a single differential piston/cylinder, which allows generating high accuracy differential pressures with greater ease of use compared to a standard piston gauge. By using the Model 2482, it is no longer necessary to balance two piston gauges at matched sink rates with small weight differences. By simply adding a single substantial mass, the Model 2482 will automatically balance the piston gauge under computer control. This will not only provide convenience and ease of operation, but it also removes a major source of error due to line pressure effects.
Additionally, the 2482 goes one step further and maintains the system balance automatically using the patented "Thermal Compensator" technology, compensating for any pressure changes due to external influences such as leaks and ambient temperature changes. Heaters set in a small volume of oil within the 2482 are adjusted to expand the oil and return the system to a balanced condition.
