Intrinsically safe calibrator to be
launched
SI Pressure Instruments will preview its brand new intrinsically safe (IS) calibrator at the Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems exhibition
SI Pressure Instruments - one of the world's leading manufacturers of pressure calibration equipment - will preview its brand new intrinsically safe (IS) calibrator at the Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems exhibition Developed principally for use in the oil and gas industries, the IS calibrator will represent a significant extension to SI's product range when it is launched later this year

SI Pressure Instruments has supplied a hydraulic PC6 Calibrator Kit to the California Department of Transport to calibrate pressure transmitters used in the GAZ-EZ avalanche control system.
Having developed over 25 years under the ownership of world leaders, Smith's Industries and Lucas Industrial Measurement, today SI Pressure Instruments employs the experience and expertise inherited from these companies to provide the most appropriate solutions to customers' requirements.
These skills are focused on the continuing development and application of innovative, high quality products including portable pressure calibrators, hand held pumps, complete pressure calibration systems, deadweight testers, pressure controllers and pressure sensors.
At Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems, SI will showcase a full range of pressure calibration equipment including the PC6 hand-held calibrator, the ultra-sensitive LTP1 low pressure pump, the HTP1 high pressure pump, the 6000L deadweight tester and the high pressure 1,000 bar/15,000 psi hose.

Intrinsically safe portable pressure calibrator
Designed for use in hazardous environments, the handheld PC6 can simultaneously display pressure versus either voltage, current, percentage of pressure, temperature or pressure switch status
These products are also available within the unique PC6-CCK complete calibration kit - a fully portable test laboratory for pneumatic and/or hydraulic systems.
SI also operates one of the UK's premier pressure calibration laboratories with unique facilities, scope and capabilities.
With pressure coverage from 0.035 bar up to 5,000 bar, the laboratory boasts one of the widest scopes for pressure calibration in the UK, with uncertainties as low as 0.005%.
The company's investment in a unique differential beam balance means that the laboratory can also offer high accuracy differential pressure calibration - particularly applicable in the processing and petrochemicals industries.
The laboratory is also unique in offering an on-site calibration service at customers' own facilities for equipment including deadweight testers, resulting in reduced downtime on process critical equipment and avoiding equipment transportation problems.
With over 25 years NAMAS experience at the very highest level, SI's metrology team offers free advice to customers through the company's metrology help-line.
Representing SI's metrology team, Selwyn Shorrock will be on hand answer any recalibration queries whilst Managing Director, Adrian Hunter and Sales Engineer, Mark Walker will be available to provide on-stand demonstrations of the products being exhibited at the show or to discuss any aspect of SI's services or product range with visitors.
