Explosion-proof pressure calibrators: precise measurement technology for potentially explosive atmospheres

In hazardous areas, safe and highly accurate pressure calibrators are indispensable. Manufacturers such as Fluke, Druck (Baker Hughes) and WIKA offer a wide range of intrinsically safe (Ex-certified) pressure calibrators designed for the maintenance, testing and calibration of pressure transmitters, valves and switches.

Modern ex-proof pressure calibrators offer measuring ranges from 1 to 700 bar with an accuracy of up to 0.02 % of full scale and are specially designed for mobile use in ATEX zones 1 and 2.

🔹 Precise measurement technology for hazardous areas

The requirements for pressure measurements in hazardous areas are continuously increasing. Today, Ex pressure calibrators combine the highest measurement accuracy with a rugged design, enabling safe and efficient calibration even under difficult conditions.

Fluke, Druck and WIKA offer a range of calibrators – from simple test gauges to high-precision pressure calibrators with integrated electric test pumps. These devices are intuitive to use, impact-resistant and designed for use in demanding industrial environments.
