New Products: Pressure Calibrator CA700

Regular inspection of various sensors and meters scattered over the field is essential for stable plant operation.

The pressure calibrator CA700 is a highly accurate and functional pressure calibrator specialized for calibration of differential pressure and pressure transmitters.

Recently differential pressure and pressure transmitters have been remarkably improved in their accuracy and functionality. The CA700 has world-class accuracy and measurement range as a portable calibrator, and offers highly accurate unprecedented field calibration.

MAJOR FEATURES

• High accuracy and long-term stability
  The CA700 is equipped with a silicon resonant sensor for which Yokogawa has technological capability, and has achieved world-class accuracy of 0.01%rdg for pressure measurement and 0.015%rdg for generation and measurement of current and voltage as a portable calibrator. These performances are satisfactory for inspections of differential pressure and pressure transmitters in which their input and output values are measured and their relative errors are evaluated.
• Rangeability
  The resolution of CA700 is 0.001 kPa when measured with a 200 kPa range, which demonstrates 10 times better resolution than that of normal field-use calibrators. The excellent sensing characteristics of the silicon resonant sensor achieve such an extremely wide range that a single CA700 can substitute for several normal field-use calibrators.
• User assistance
  Calibration procedures for differential pressure and pressure transmitters are built into the CA700, and usual 5-point calibration with 50% up and down steps and 9-point calibration with 25% up and down steps are available. Users can quickly conduct calibration work by operating it in accordance with the navigation, improving the efficiency during calibration in the field. The measured data are automatically stored in the CA700 itself and can be transferred to PCs via a USB flash drive or USB cable.
• Field use
  During the calibration work of differential pressure and pressure transmitters, calibrators are used at sites surrounded by lots of piping or handrails, and used under harsh environments exposed to water drops or puddles.

To respond to such environments, the CA700 has a robust housing and conforms to the IP54 standard for solid particle and liquid ingress protection. Considering tasks while moving from place to place in the field, it is also equipped with a shoulder belt to enhance the portability. By adopting a LCD display with good visibility even during outdoor work under direct sunlight, a tilt stand, and others in addition, the CA700 offers various usages ranging from use in a field to that at a workbench.
