Nexisense Spinning Piston Pressure Gauge: High-Precision Pressure Reference and Verification Integrated Solution

The Nexisense spinning piston pressure gauge is specially designed for metrology institutions and industrial process control. It realizes constant-speed smooth rotation through a motor-driven piston system, completely eliminating speed fluctuations, vibration interference, and piston rod breakage risks caused by manual operation. This series of products integrates a high-precision process signal measurement module, supporting simultaneous acquisition of current, voltage, and switch signals of the instrument under test, meeting the one-stop verification needs of pressure sensors, pressure transmitters, and pressure switches. It has been widely used in national metrology institutes, power, petrochemical, and metallurgical enterprises’ pressure instrument traceability systems.

Core Technical Features

The motor-driven system ensures impact-free and noise-free piston rotation, combined with a low-center-of-gravity hanging basket design and an integrated anti-breakage protection patented structure, significantly improving weight loading stability and repeatability. The piston assembly adopts tungsten carbide material with long wear-resistant life; special weights use non-magnetic stainless steel for long-term rust prevention. The modular piston system supports quick disassembly, inspection, and maintenance. The host integrates a sewage discharge system and oil return filtration device to maintain the cleanliness of the working medium.

The large screen simultaneously displays parameters such as current (0-25mA), voltage (0-10V), switch quantity, displacement, time, and atmospheric pressure. The electrical measurement accuracy reaches 0.02%, and it provides DC24V±2% power supply output, which can directly power the instrument under test. Built-in high-precision pressure module (optional 0.05% or 0.02%) realizes intuitive synchronous reading of pressure-electrical signals. The working medium is a mixture of 25# transformer oil and kerosene (7:1) or diisooctyl sebacate, and the interface adopts M20×1.5 quick internal thread ×2, fully complying with JJG59-2022 “Verification Regulation for Liquid Piston Pressure Gauges”.

Typical Application Scenarios

Metrology Verification Institutions and Calibration Laboratories: As a pressure reference, used for periodic verification and calibration of instruments in the full range of 0.06-250 MPa. The electrical measurement module realizes synchronous comparison of pressure-current/voltage, significantly improving verification efficiency and data traceability.

Power and Metallurgical Industries: Deployed at high-reliability monitoring points such as boiler pressure and hydraulic systems to perform on-site comparison verification of pressure transmitters, ensuring key parameters meet metrology requirements.

Petrochemical Process Control: Used for regular on-site verification of pressure instruments, reducing process deviations caused by drift, and supporting batch instrument management and CNAS accreditation.

Typical project cases include the upgrade of the pressure laboratory of a national metrology institute, introducing multiple 0.01-grade and 0.005-grade models. After integrating the electrical measurement module, the verification time for a single instrument was shortened by approximately 40%, and automated weight loading reduced human error. In another large petrochemical enterprise instrument management project, this equipment was used as an on-site reference to perform periodic verification on more than 200 transmitters. The annual verification cycle fully complies with national metrology regulations, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs.

Selection Guide

Selection focuses on measurement range and accuracy grade: For the low-pressure section (0.06-0.6 MPa), the DKH8006A model is recommended; for the high-pressure section (5-250 MPa), the DKH8250 is selected. Accuracy from 0.05 grade to 0.005 grade is optional. For 0.005 grade and 0.01 grade, it is recommended to combine with local gravity acceleration field measurement to ensure accurate weight force values.

When selecting the electrical measurement module, confirm the output type of the instrument under test (mA/V/switch). For batch projects, gravity correction coefficient tables, special weight quality certificates, and non-standard range extension services can be provided to ensure seamless matching with existing verification processes.

Integration Considerations

Before installation, confirm the chassis level and piston verticality. After weight loading, monitor the descent speed and duration. Electrical measurement integration uses shielded cables, and DC24V power supply should pay attention to load capacity. System docking can collect display data through the RS232 interface and supports integration with LIMS or metrology management systems. Regular maintenance focuses on checking piston descent rate, sealing, and weight quality changes. The piston effective area should be inspected annually. The operating environment should be controlled at 18-28°C to avoid the influence of temperature gradients on the effective area.

OEM Customization and Batch Supply Advantages

Nexisense supports OEM label production and can customize range combinations, electrical measurement display interfaces, weight material markings, and software communication protocols. Batch supply provides tiered pricing, special weight配套, on-site installation training, and verification cycle tracking services. The delivery package includes JJG59-2022 compliance statement, calibration certificate, and maintenance manual to help calibration institutions and industrial enterprises efficiently build metrology traceability systems.
