Pressure Units and Conversion Factors

Unit Conversion

To convert FROM pressure VALUE 1 in pressure UNITS 1 TO pressure VALUE 2 in pressure

UNITS 2, calculate as follows:

Note: The PACE instrument contains selectable pressure units and user defined units. Use the

conversion factors to calculate a user defined unit from the table above. Refer to the

data sheets for the list of selectable pressure units.

PACE Series Calibration Manual

[EN] English 1 K0450 Revision B

1 Introduction

The PACE controller incorporates a calibration facility; for the PACE to stay accurate, a

calibration check should be carried out at chosen intervals. If the accuracy of the PACE is not

within the permissible deviation, carry out a calibration adjustment.

2 Calibration Status

Using the Measured Pressure/Instrument Status menu, the calibration status of the

calibrator can be displayed on the front panel screen. The status menu includes Calibration

History which gives a list of dates of the stored calibration corrections.

Note: The Date and Time must be set correctly using the Measured Pressure/Global Set-up/

Calibration menu.

3 Calibration Equipment

The original GE Calibration Certificate shows the measurement uncertainty of the original

calibration standard. To preserve uncertainty of the PACE calibration, checks and

adjustments must be performed using a calibrator uncertainty of less than or equal to the

original calibration standard.

4 Preliminary Operations

Review and become familiar with the whole procedure before beginning a calibration

process. Allow at least one hour for the PACE to thermally stabilize in a thermally stable

environment after switching on and before calibration.

Before starting a calibration procedure:

Carry out a leak test as detailed in PACE user manual K0443.

5 Notes on Calibration

The pressure standard output port and the reference

level must be at the correct level or use height-

corrected applied pressure.

To prevent applied calibration pressure “back feed” in

PACE controllers, fit blanking plugs to both positive and

negative supply ports on the manifold.

Set the PACE units of pressure to one of the required units for calibration.

5.1 PACE Controller Connection

WARNING

ON COMPLETION OF CALIBRATION, OPEN THE ON/OFF VALVE TO VENT TRAPPED

PRESSURE FROM THE SUPPLY + PORT TO ATMOSPHERE.

Connect the calibrator for each pressure range as follows:

Connect the output of the pressure standard to the PACE module output port.

Fit an on/off valve to the supply + input of the PACE controller. Leave the other side of the

valve open to atmosphere. Turn the valve to the closed position.

Gauge Reference

If the pressure standard has a reference connection, then connect this to the PACE reference

port on the module manifold. Otherwise the calibrator reference port should be open to

atmosphere.

Note: Module 2 reference port open to atmosphere or to reference port of the pressure

standard.

Note: Optimum performance is achieved by connecting the PACE reference port to the

pressure standard.
