Pressure Calibrator SIKA Pneumatic Pump – 8.5 x 2 x 2 in, -4 to 58 PSI

Description

Product Overview

The SIKA pneumatic pressure calibrator is engineered to deliver reliable low‑pressure measurement across a broad range of industrial and scientific applications. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum alloy and reinforced polymer components, the unit balances durability with a lightweight profile, weighing just four pounds. Its compact dimensions of 8.5 × 2 × 2 inches allow it to fit comfortably on any workbench, while the integrated 10,000 psi rated hose provides a secure connection to a variety of pressure gauges and test devices.

Designed with a fine‑adjustment valve, the calibrator enables users to dial in pressure increments as small as 0.1 psi, ensuring that even the most sensitive instruments can be verified with confidence. The pressure range of –4 to 58 psi (‑0.3 to 4 bar) covers both negative and positive pressure scenarios, making it suitable for gas calibration, pneumatic system testing, and pressure switch verification. The included 1/4 BSP quick‑coupling adaptor simplifies set‑up, while an optional 1 m extension provides additional flexibility for larger test rigs.

Every component of the calibrator has been selected for long‑term stability. The hose is fabricated from a multi‑layer polymer blend that resists kinking and maintains pressure integrity even after repeated cycles. The gauge interface is machined to tight tolerances, guaranteeing a leak‑free seal that preserves measurement accuracy over time. Together, these features create a tool that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of professionals who demand precision in their daily workflows.

Usage

In a laboratory setting, the calibrator serves as a cornerstone for routine maintenance of pressure sensors, flow meters, and pneumatic actuators. Technicians can quickly attach the calibrator to a reference gauge, adjust the pressure to the desired set‑point, and compare the reading against the device under test. This process reduces downtime and ensures that equipment remains within manufacturer‑specified tolerances.

Field engineers benefit equally from the portable design. Whether performing on‑site verification of gas pipelines, calibrating pressure switches in HVAC systems, or validating pneumatic controls on manufacturing lines, the calibrator’s rugged construction withstands the rigors of outdoor environments. The 10,000 psi hose can be coiled for easy transport, and the quick‑coupling mechanism minimizes the time required to transition between different test points.

Educational institutions also find the calibrator valuable for teaching fundamental concepts of pressure measurement. Students can experiment with both positive and negative pressure values, gaining hands‑on experience that reinforces theoretical coursework. The clear pressure markings on the gauge face provide an intuitive visual reference, making it an effective teaching aid for introductory engineering labs.

FAQ

What types of devices can I calibrate with this unit?

The calibrator is compatible with most pneumatic pressure gauges, transducers, and switches that use a 1/4 BSP connection. It is also suitable for calibrating gas flow meters and low‑pressure sensors commonly found in HVAC, laboratory, and industrial applications.

How do I ensure the calibrator remains accurate over time?

Regular verification against a certified primary standard is recommended at least once a year, or more frequently if the device is used in critical environments. SIKA offers calibration services that can be performed on‑site or at an authorized service center to maintain traceability.

Can the calibrator handle negative pressure values?

Yes, the instrument’s range includes negative pressure down to –4 psi, allowing you to test vacuum conditions and pressure differentials that fall below atmospheric pressure.

Is the hose replaceable if it becomes damaged?

Absolutely. The hose is designed as a modular component that can be swapped out without affecting the calibrator’s core functionality. Replacement hoses are available through SIKA’s parts catalog and are manufactured to the same high‑pressure specifications.

What safety precautions should I follow when using the calibrator?

Always ensure the system is depressurized before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Verify that all fittings are securely tightened to prevent leaks, and never exceed the maximum pressure rating of 58 psi. Wearing appropriate eye protection is recommended during operation, especially when working with high‑pressure gas sources.
