    If your process has a fluctuating or pulsating pressure, use of an external pressure source is recommended to ensure the accuracy of your measurements and calibration. info@Meriam-Direct.com 1.888.475.5235...

  • Page 20: Differential Pressure Calibration

    Meriam does not recommend using process pressure as the pressure source for DP pressure device calibration. Errors in measurement and calibration can easily creep in if the pressure source is unstable. In addition, xDN sensors have a maximum overpressure limit of 150 PSI when a three-valve equalizing manifold is used properly.

  • Page 21: Vacuum And Absolute Pressure Calibration

    The following diagram shows the connection for both a vacuum and an absolute pressure measurement. If the process maintains a stable pressure, it can be used as the pressure source in some calibrations. Process compatibility and pressure ranges of the sensor modules need to be considered for each application. info@Meriam-Direct.com 1.888.475.5235...
