Problem:Pressure measurement devices can sometimes be inaccurate, which may be a result of factors such as incorrect calibration, physical damage, or poor maintenance.
Solution:
Perform Regular Maintenance: Ensure that pressure gauges, transducers, and sensors are cleaned and maintained regularly. Check for physical damage such as cracks or corrosion, as this can affect their performance.
Use Traceable Standards: Always calibrate pressure instruments against known reference standards that are traceable to national or international standards (e.g., NIST). This ensures the accuracy of your calibrations.
Recalibrate After Physical Changes: If the pressure instrument has undergone physical changes (e.g., mechanical shock or environmental exposure), it’s essential to recalibrate the device to maintain its accuracy.
