How do I test my Carbide Meter?

With the help of a calibration ampoule you can conduct an on-site calibration to test your carbide meter.

Here you are the explanatory videos for your

mechanical manometer:

digtal manometer:

After the chemical reaction has finished, you should be able to measure a pressure of 1 bar at 20˚C when using 1 gram of reacting water. The allowed deviation lies at 5% off of the set pressure and needs a respective bottle volume. The maximal deviation consists of

  • ± 1% of the bottle volume: max. allowed deviation (of a Radtke-Measuring Instrument)
  • ± 1% of the calibration ampules: max. allowed deviation (of a Radtke-Measuring Instrument)

Allowed faults of the manometer

  • ±2.5% of mechanical manometer (CLASSIC and ECO) is the max. allowed fault at a pressure of 1 bar, leave or take ± 0.5% allowed deviation at a temperature of 20˚C
  • ±0.4% of digital manometer (BUSINESS) is the max. allowed fault at a pressure of 1 bar, leave or take ±2.6% allowed deviation at a temperature of 20˚C
