Fluke P3116-MPA Deadweight Tester

Overview

The Fluke P3116-MPA is a single piston-cylinder deadweight tester engineered for accurate pressure calibrations up to 140 MPa. It functions as a high-performance pressure standard utilizing a precision piston-gauge system with certified accuracies traceable to NIST. As part of the P3100 series, it combines robust construction with exceptional repeatability and ease of use for validating pressure measurement devices across industrial and laboratory environments.
