Standard-Related Information

The calibration of differential pressure sensors is a critical aspect of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of industrial processes. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established Standard E2072, which outlines the procedures for calibrating these devices.

Relevant Standards

  • ASTM E2072: This standard provides guidelines for calibrating differential pressure sensors.

  • ISO 10436: This international standard specifies the requirements for measuring instruments used in industrial processes.

  • EN 837-1: This European standard defines the requirements for pressure gauges and pressure sensors.

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The calibration of differential pressure sensors is governed by various laws and regulations, including:

  • OSHA Guidelines: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides guidelines for ensuring the safety and health of workers in industrial environments.

  • ISO 9001:2015: This international standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system (QMS).

  • EN ISO 17025: This European standard defines the requirements for testing laboratories.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations, such as ASTM and ISO, play a crucial role in creating and updating standards.

  • ASTM: The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes technical standards.

  • ISO: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental organization that develops and publishes international standards.

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology and changes in regulatory requirements.

  • ASTM E2072-12: This standard was published in 2012 and provided guidelines for calibrating differential pressure sensors.

  • ASTM E2072-17: This revised standard was published in 2017 and updated the calibration procedures to reflect new technologies and techniques.

    • Industry-Specific Standards

    Different industries have their own specific standards for calibrating differential pressure sensors:

  • API 670: The American Petroleum Institute (API) provides guidelines for calibrating pressure measuring instruments used in the petroleum industry.

  • ASME PTC 19.3-1974: This standard specifies the requirements for calibrating pressure gauges and pressure sensors used in the power generation industry.

    The calibration of differential pressure sensors is an essential aspect of quality assurance and control:

  • ASTM E2072: This standard specifies the procedures for calibrating differential pressure sensors.

  • ISO 9001:2015: This standard requires organizations to implement a quality management system (QMS).

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The calibration of differential pressure sensors involves several steps.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

    The following equipment and instruments are used in the calibration process:

  • Pressure Calibrators: These devices generate precise pressure signals for calibrating sensors.

  • Data Acquisition Systems: These systems record and analyze data from the sensor under test.

    • Testing Environment Requirements

    The testing environment must meet specific requirements, including:

  • Temperature Range: The temperature range should be between -20C to 70C ( -4F to 158F).

  • Humidity Level: The humidity level should be between 10 and 90.

    • Sample Preparation Procedures

    The following procedures are used in preparing the sensor for calibration:

  • Sensor Installation: The sensor is installed on a pressure calibrator.

  • Initial Calibration: The sensor is calibrated to its specified accuracy.

    • Testing Parameters and Conditions

    The testing parameters and conditions must meet specific requirements, including:

  • Pressure Range: The pressure range should be between 0.1 bar and 100 bar (1 psi and 1450 psi).

  • Flow Rate: The flow rate should be between 0.01 m³/s and 10 m³/s.

    • Testing Procedure

    The calibration process involves the following steps:

    1. Initialization: The sensor is initialized to its specified accuracy.

    2. Calibration: The sensor is calibrated using a pressure calibrator.

    3. Verification: The sensors performance is verified using a data acquisition system.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, the calibration of differential pressure sensors is an essential aspect of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of industrial processes. Manufacturers, installers, and operators must comply with relevant standards to ensure accurate measurements and prevent equipment damage.
