1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
With high precision accuracy, the BL506 vacuum deadweight tester have dual vacuum and pressure modes. Pressure
and vacuum application can be operated by hand pump or external gas supply. To guarantee an excellent metrology-logic
characteristics, all pistons and cylinders are made of tungsten carbide. Because of the extreme hardness of this material,
the pressure distortion (expansion) coefficient is negligible. The low friction coefficient provides minutes of turning with just
a little swing of the masses.
1.2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A deadweight tester is based on a high accurate manufactured piston and cylinder assembly. This cylinder is mounted in
a column. The piston can rotate and freely move up and down. Accurately calibrated masses are loaded on top of the
vertically mounted piston. A pressure is applied on the bottom of the piston to lift the piston with masses. This creates a
balance between the downward force made by the masses and the upward force made by the pressure. With the known
effective area of the piston the pressure can be calculated. In formula: P=F/A, Where:
P = the pressure being derived
F = the force applied by the weights
A = the effective area of the piston cylinder

1.3 DETERMINE OF THE PRESSURE
The reference level of the deadweight tester is at the top of the sealing of the pressure connection. If the weight set is
marked with a pressure unit (MPa; bar; psi or kg/cm²) the pressure can be determined by the formula:
P= m·g(1
-
ρ1
/
ρ2) .
So (1

Where is:
P: Measurement pressure Pa (MPa)
m: Mass (kg)
g: Standard gravity 9.80665 m/s² or customized local gravity (m/s²)
ρ1: The density of the ambient air at the reference level, the typical air density value is 1.2 kg/m³
ρ2: The density of mass, ρ value of stainless steel =7.93x10³kg/m3 , ρ value of carbon steel =7.8x103kg/m3
So: Effective area at zero pressure @ t=20℃ (m²)
λ: Pressure distortion coefficient piston cylinder system (MPa-¹)
Po: It is the pressure value when piston system doesn’t be deformed, can be instead by P (MPa)
α1: Thermal expansion coefficient of piston, the typical value is 4.5×10-6 ℃-1
α2: Thermal expansion coefficient of cylinder, the typical value is 4.5×10-6 ℃-1
T: The temperature of piston when the deadweight tester is in the status of measurement (℃)
1.4 PISTON CYLINDER ASSEMBLY

Page 3
The piston cylinder assembly is the heart of the dead weight tester and responsible for its high accuracy. We
manufactures piston cylinder with accuracies from 0.05% up to 0.005% of reading. To give an idea of the manufacturing
skills, the space between the piston and the cylinder is in the um range and can only be measured in a climate room. To
guarantee an excellent metrology-logic characteristics, all pistons and cylinders are made of tungsten carbide. Because of
the extreme hardness of this material, the pressure distortion (expansion) coefficient is negligible. The low friction
coefficient provides minutes of turning with just a little swing of the masses.
1.5 EFFECTIVE AREA
For all dead weight testers, the effective area is determined by cross floating with a known reference primary standard
deadweight tester. The exact pressure can be calculated. As per the formula of the item 1.4, compensation factors are
listed for air buoyancy, local gravity, surface tension of the used oil and temperature and pressure expansion of the piston
cylinder assembly. All necessary data are listed in the calibration certificate provided with each dead weight testers.
1.6 MASS SET
The masses of the dead weight tester are made of carbon steel or nonmagnetic stainless steel. They are laser marked
with a serial number and mass or the equivalent pressure. The weights are tare out to add stainless steel to an internal
chamber. This is easy for recalibration or adjustments for gravity compensation. The mass of all weights are listed in the
certificate. For small pressure steps, a box with small weights is optionally available.
