Test Instruments and Devices: Pneumatic and Hydraulic
Test Devices CD-ROM

Duration: 4 hours (includes 1 test)

What Students Learn: This comprehensive INVOLVE® interactive multimedia training program was produced in association with the Instrument Society of America. (ISA). This four lesson program trains participants on the principles and procedures of various test devices.

This lesson presents operating principles and procedures for using a variety of test devices including manometers, test gauges, portable pneumatic and hydraulic calibrators, and pneumatic and hydraulic deadweight testers. Selection of the appropriate test device for a particular instrument calibration is also discussed.

After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:

    •   Identify the facility's primary and secondary standard pneumatic test equipment.
•   Identify the pressure reading of a liquid in a manometer and type manometer to use.
•   Recognize and identify the factors that affect accuracy of manometers.
•   Read the pressure on a u-tube manometer.
•   Determine the type of pressure being measured when given a u-tube connected to a vacuum source.
•   Adjust the manometer scale to zero.
•   Identify the point on the manometer that should be connected to a pressure source to measure positive
     pressure.
•   Determine which test gauge should be used for an instrument having high and/or low pressure range.
•   Identify the required accuracy of the test gauge when given the accuracy rating of both the
     instrument and test gauge.
•   Identify the correct setting of the regulators and selector valve on a pneumatic calibrator to prepare for
     testing.
•   Identify the correct type of calibrator for testing high or low pressures.
•   Identify the means by which the balance point on the deadweight tester is achieved.
•   Identify the factors that can affect the accuracy of hydraulic and pneumatic deadweight testers.

Special Notes: This training program is delivered by multimedia CD-ROM and can be accessed on a stand alone PC or in a networked learning center.
