Conclusion

Calibration is the set of operations that establish the relationship between

the values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument where in this
experiment is the dead weight tester and the corresponding values realized by
standards. The result of a calibration allows the determination of corrections
to be made with regards to the indicated values. Based on the experimental
results obtained, there was a deviation in the calibrated reading being
compared to the theoretical values. Therefore the pressure gauge on the
upward pressure values was observed to be not appropriate for high pressure
levels. It was noticeable at the presented data analysis in the table as it shows
direct relationship between the indicated pressure values and measurement
uncertainty. Especially when the supplied pressure is high but incapable of
lifting the required load if there is any. The results show that pressure gauge
is well calibrated. The results were not accurate at the larger values of
pressure because of the precise reading of the gauge is somewhat on the
lower side. So it is difficult to measure the larger values. But at the lower
values of pressure we have pretty accurate results. Readings are taken in two
different ways given as ascending and descending pattern.

Inaccuracies can be costly, so the ultimate goal of pressure calibration is

to assess and adjust the precision of the pressure equipment used to
measure the process to prevent errors or uncertainties. Calibration method
using dead weight tester is one of the most accurate but old method of
calibrating a pressure gauge. Now there are many new methods which can be
used for calibration of pressure gauges in the industries. This apparatus
should be handled very carefully. Valves should be operated carefully
otherwise there are many chances of leakage of oil and other unnecessary
instances. It is important to calibrate pressure gauges regularly, particularly if
their performance and accuracy is critical for quality assurance or compliance.
No matter what type of pressure gauge you use, you can perform calibration
with a dead weight tester to check whether the device is performing as
expected.
