Crystal XP2i digital pressure gauge with calibration reminder

Crystal Engineering, a unit of AMETEK Sensors, Test & Calibration, has added an automatic calibration reminder system to its XP2i pressure gauge. The system reduces the possibility of using gauges after their calibration dates and potentially incurring regulatory fines.

Manual record keeping and notifications are replaced by customisable on-screen alerts prior to the due date, warning alerts on and after the due date, and an optional capability to lock the gauge from use after its calibration due date. Dates, reminders and message types are set by supervisors through free software.

Because they measure critical performance metrics of a wide range of equipment, properly calibrated pressure gauges can be important factors in worker safety, pollution control or product quality.

The rugged, intrinsically safe gauge offers pressure recording in harsh environments. Key features include an IP67 rated, marine-grade enclosure; a fast pressure safety valve (PSV) mode; custom engineering units; and a leak-free pressure fitting connection.

Active digital temperature compensation corrects the sensor for changes in temperature. It is guaranteed to 0.1% of reading accuracy from -10 to 50°C. Every XP2i comes with an ISO 17025 calibration report — NIST traceable, A2LA accredited — with test data at five temperatures. Its high-contrast liquid-crystal display is readable in all conditions from bright sunlight to dark (with included backlight).
