Fluke P3116-BAR Deadweight Tester

Overview

The Fluke P3116-BAR Deadweight Tester (DWT) is a single high-pressure hydraulic instrument used for accurate pressure calibrations. It utilizes a piston-gauge system with precision-lapped piston and cylinder assemblies, manufactured to the highest standards with certified accuracies traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The P3100 series combines over 50 years of design and manufacturing experience in high-performance pressure standards.
