New BetaGauge PI Digital Pressure Test Gauge Sets Standard for Accuracy
and Ease of Use
The Beta Calibrators Division of Martel Electronics Corporation announces
the introduction of the new BetaGauge
PI Digital Pressure test gauge. The BetaGauge PI takes the concept
of an analog Test Gauge, and brings it to a new level, by combining
the accuracy of digital technology with the simplicity of an analog
gauge, achieving performance, ease-of-use, and a feature set unmatched
in the pressure measurement world.
Setup of the BetaGauge PI is fast and straightforward, through a menu-driven
display, with minimal text and intuitive functions, that is simple enough
to allow the gauge to be used anywhere in the world without the need
for multilingual displays. Accuracy is ±0.05% of full scale readings
of pressure, displayed in any one of 18 standard engineering units,
or in user-defined custom units, eliminating tedious conversion calculations.
Readings are displayed on a 5 1/2 digit, 0.65" high digital display
and companion percent-of-range bar graph. Accuracy is temperature-compensated
over the operating range of the gauge. The internal temperature sensor
measurement can be displayed in degreed Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The BetaGauge
PI provides an unmatched feature set, offering the user many options
for ease-of-use. The reading sample rate can be adjusted to match the
type of measurement. such as for pressure switch threshold points.,
instrument-grade readings, filtered readings, and a power-saving 1 reading
per 2 seconds"sleep" mode. A MIN/MAX function instantly recalls pressure
readings extremes. In addition to a Zero function, large residual system
pressures can be nulled using the TARE adjustment. When combined with
custom engineering units,, the TARE adjustment allows the BetaGauge
PI to be used in a variety of liquid level and volume measurements,
easily reading units of interest directly, such as gallons in a tank.
Password-protected field calibration may be initiated through the keypad.
An auto shutoff feature may be enabled for a preset interval to extend
battery life. Damping can be set to integrate readings to accommodate
pulsating sources, such as plant air. An RS232 port allows pressure
reading data to be extracted directly from the gauge for off-line analysis.
A number of options are available for the BetaGauge
PI Digital Pressure Gauge making the gauge suitable in virtually
an application. Tee-or welding ferrule-mounted sanitary diaphragm seals
meeting 3A Standards per specification 37-01 allow the BetaGauge PI
to be used in sanitary piping applications including food, beverage,
pharmaceutical, and other industries where extreme levels of purity
are required. An optional 24 VDC external power input is available for
applications where the gauge will be permanently incorporated into a
process line. A protective rubber boot is available for hand-held measurements
to help protect the gauge from damage if dropped. A self-contained calibration
kit is available which includes a BetaGauge PI, hand pressure pump,
and associated fittings.
Martel Electronics Corporation and its Beta Calibrators division offer
a diversified line of hand-held and bench
calibrators, process instruments, process indicators, power supplies,
meters and displays, and test and measurement instruments manufactured
to the highest quality standards for the process industry and OEM applications.
