Pressure transmitter Calibration

Equipment required for calibration of pressure transmitter

Pressure transmitter, multimeter, HART communicator

Basic procedure for calibration

1. Isolate the Pressure Transmitter from the Process.

2. Slowly open the vent plug and the vent valve to release the pressure.
3. Connect the multimeter with the transmitter and ensure that output is 4ma when 0 pressures is
applied.
4. Connect the hand held test pump (pressure source) to the transmitter.
5. Ensure there is no leak.
6. Apply pressure range at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% and check there is any error.
7. If there is any error calibration should be done.

If transmitter is analog transmitter

8. Apply 0% pressure as per LRV with hand held test pump and check multimeter if it is not 4ma
adjust the zero pot in the transmitter and correct transmitter output to 4ma
9. Apply 100%pressure as per the URV and correct 20ma in multimeter by adjusting span pot in the
transmitter
10. Repeat these steps to rectify error.

In case of SMART Transmitter

1. We have to use HART communicator, connect the communicator with the transmitter select the
HART Communicator Menu for lower range value trim and upper range value trim.
2. Basic Set up – Calibration – Zero Trim/Sensor Trim —Lower/Upper range value trims.
3. HART communicator will automatically calibrate the transmitter.
4. Restore the process connection
5. Take the transmitter on line. Ensure there is no

leak

small example of five point calibration is given below

Differential Pressure Transmitter Calibration Procedure

Calibration Procedure :
1. Set up the differential pressure transmitter, HART communicator, power supply,
hand pump, and the multimeter as below (see below calibration setup Diagram).
2. Make sure the equalizing valve manifold is closed.
3. Apply a pressure to the transmitter equal to a lower range pressure (usually it
correspond to 4 mA in the transmitter output). For example we have 0 to 100
mBar calibrated range, then the lower range pressure is 0, or let’s say we have -2
psig to 5 psig then we have lower range pressure equal to -2 psig.
4. Read the pressure in the transmitter LCD (or in the HART communicator).
Adjust (if any) through the HART communicator so that the output of the
transmitter (on LCD) is the same with the applied pressure.
5. Read the mA output of the transmitter by using a multimeter. Adjust (if any)
through the HART communicator so that the output of the transmitter (on
multimeter) is 4 mA.
6. Apply a pressure to the transmitter equal to an upper range pressure (usually it
correspond to 20 mA in the transmitter output).

7. Read the pressure in the transmitter LCD (or in the HART communicator).
Adjust (if any) through the HART communicator so that the output of the
transmitter (on LCD) is the same with the applied pressure.

through the HART communicator so that the output of the transmitter (on
multimeter) is 20 mA.

Typical tools required:

1. 24 VDC power supply
2. Multimeter digital
3. Pneumatic hand pump (up to 600 psig)
4. Hydraulic hand pump (up to 10.000 psig)
5. Low pressure hand pump
6. High precision digital test gauge
7. HART communicator
8. Screwdriver toolkit
Note: point number 1, 2, 7, and 6 of the typical tools above can be replaced by a
single multi-function calibrator available in the market.
