CALIBRATION DEVICES The calibration of a sampling pump is critical to the quality of samples taken. Calibration determines that the flow rate of air through the pump is accurate, within specified limits, usually 5%. Sampling pumps should be calibrated with a representative pneumatic load. A primary calibration device, the DigiCal Calibrator provides instantaneous calibration for instruments like the MSA Escort LC Pump or the secondary flow standard inside the Escort ELF Sampling Pumps. Just press the plunger and the DigiCal Calibrator does the work. Its unique flow cell replaces conventional bubble tubes and makes calibration easier. The DigiCal Calibrator achieves extreme accuracy by utilizing a computerized flow meter that provides instantaneous flow readouts on a digital display. Accurate measurements are possible within 0.5% at any altitude. The DigiCal Calibrator can be used to calibrate the secondary flow standard inside MSAs Escort ELF Sampling Pump.
