    This lab report details the calibration of a Bourdon tube pressure gauge using a dead weight pressure gauge calibrator. The objectives were to calibrate the Bourdon tube gauge. The apparatus used included a hydraulic bench and dead weight pressure gauge. The procedure involved adjusting the dead weight pressures and measuring the corresponding readings on the Bourdon tube gauge. Calculations were made comparing the applied pressures to the Bourdon tube readings to determine the percentage error, which remained around 88-89% for different pressure levels.

    Apparatus Description
    1. HYDRAULIC BENCH
    The Hydraulic Bench Apparatus comprises of a self-contained,
    water re-circulating unit provided with a top tray and a sump tank
    and is mounted on wheels. Various Hydraulic experiments can be
    conducted on this setup. A Centrifugal Pump is fitted for water
    circulation. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water
    line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of
    water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stop
    watch. Water collected on the top tray from experimental setup,
    drains and return to sump tank.

    2. Dead Weight Pressure Gauge


    The deadweight piston gauge (Bell and Howell) is used to measure
    pressure in terms of fundamental units (force and area). A piston is
    inserted into a close fitting cylinder. Weights are placed on one
    end of the piston and are supported by fluid pressure applied to
    the other end. For absolute pressure measurements the assembly
    is placed inside an evacuated bell jar. Pressure measurements take
    into account a number of parameters affecting the instrument and
    its environment.
    Procedure
    1. First open the over flow valve.
    2. Remove thee transport cap.
    3. Insert the piston.
    4. Now start checking for zero point by
    5. Pressing the piston out of the cylinder.
    6. Removing the piston and weight support.
    7. Adjusting oil level in the open cylinder until the cylinder filled up
    the edges.
    8. The gauge pressure being tested should now indicate zero, as it is
    only subjected to ambient pressure.
    9. After the zero point, the piston is reinserted into the cylinder due
    to which the piston moves slowly showing a reading of pressure
    exertion through pressure gauge.
    10. Repeat the experiment using different weights on the piston.
