The figure 80 deadweight testers provide accurate measurement for pipes and vessels including hazardous areas - because of it's purely mechanical operation. The unit features an integral large, easy to read, precision mechanical pressure gauge.
Applications of Fig 80 deadweight tester include:
Well heads, where it measures well head gas pressure and hydraulic test pressures of riser pipes.
At gas terminals, it monitors gas pressures associated with flow metering.
On pipelines, it measures pressures on leak & yield testing as well as frictional pressure losses.
In thermal power stations it is used to accurately measure steam pressures for efficiency testing.
