Fluke Corporation’s Calibration Introduces PPC4E Pressure Controller/Calibrator

EVERETT, WA--(Marketwire - October 28, 2010) -

Fluke Calibration, a global leader in calibration instrumentation and software, has introduced the PPC4E pressure controller/calibrator, designed to bring high performance to common pneumatic pressure calibrations from the cal lab to manufacturing environments.

PPC4E combines the best features, measurement technology, and patented PPC pressure control from the DH Instruments PPC4 family of controller/calibrators to economically deliver extremely broad pressure range coverage at a level of uncertainty that addresses the most common calibration workloads. Users can calibrate transmitters, transducers and analog and digital gauges with ease using the color graphical user interface -- or automate the calibration process through remote connection to a PC.

PPC4E and PPC4EX models are offered to deliver +/-0.02% uncertainty over either a 10:1 or 100:1 range turndown. And PPC4E makes it extremely easy for users to ensure they are getting the performance and uncertainty required for their calibrations. The AutoRange feature instantly sets up PPC4E parameters to achieve optimum precision, safety, and measurement performance anywhere in its pressure range. Users simply enter the range and tolerance of the unit under test. PPC4E's measurement uncertainty is then a percentage of the UUT span, providing an easy-to-understand test accuracy ratio.
