Checking pressure gauges: methodology, frequency, rules and requirements

Pressure gauges (devices for measuring pressure), like all precision instruments, must be monitored and verified. This is important because they are used on units that pose a danger if used incorrectly: gas cylinders, boilers, production equipment. The serviceability of the pressure gauge is monitored using specialized metrological systems; It is important that the procedure is carried out by a competent specialist. The pressure gauge is verified by an accredited organization in laboratory conditions using certified standards.

How and why to believe

Verification of pressure gauge readings consists of an external examination (presence of glass cracks, chips and dents on the body, etc.) and comparison of the device readings with the reference ones.

If the device is used in one of the areas falling under GROEI - state regulation in the field of uniformity of measurements, then regular verification of the pressure gauge is mandatory.

As for private houses and in other areas not included in the GROEI list, the verification of pressure gauges here is carried out on the initiative of the owners or managers to make sure that the device is in order.

Requirements and verification rules

There are a number of rules on how to check the pressure gauge without violating laws and regulations:

• inspection for external defects (broken glass, dents on the body, bent arrows);
• creating conditions as close to normal as possible;
• setting the dial arrow strictly to zero;
• comparison of data from the standard and the device being tested.

If the nominal parameters are not set, it is easier to replace the measuring device with a new one. The store catalog offers a wide selection of devices for measuring pressure in heating systems and production units. Any questions you may have will be resolved by professional consultants, who can be contacted by phone or online chat.

Once a year or once every five years?

The frequency of checking pressure gauges is indicated in their technical data sheet. It depends on the design and model of the device. Typically, the timing of calibration of pressure gauges is once a year for older models and once every 2-5 years for models developed after 2000. This is due to the fact that new devices are more technologically advanced.

The frequency of checking pressure gauges is set by the manufacturer and must be strictly observed if the organization falls under the GROEI. The verification period may be shorter if the scope of application of pressure gauges falls under various safety regulations or internal regulations of the enterprise.

Procedure

If, as a result of checking pressure gauges, a Verification Certificate or a device verification protocol is required, it can only be carried out by a certified specialist. The organization providing services must be included in Rosreestr.

Verification of pressure gauges is carried out in the laboratory under normal environmental conditions using certified metrological equipment in compliance with the requirements of the Verification Methodology.

The procedure for checking the pressure gauge:

1. Appearance.
2. Testing: The pressure gauge to be verified is installed on the equipment, maximum pressure is applied, the pressure gauge is maintained at maximum pressure, then the pressure is gradually reduced to 0.
3. Control of readings: The readings of the standard and the pressure gauge being verified are compared.
4. Based on the procedures performed, a conclusion is drawn about the suitability or unsuitability of the application.

Test methodology

The proper operation is checked by competent specialists using special metrological devices. The accuracy of the readings is examined in the laboratory of an accredited organization registered in the state register using certified standards. The inspection of measuring instruments is also carried out by state metrological control bodies.

The pressure gauge is checked using various methods:

• At the metrological stand.
  Using a special pump, the necessary pressure is created. In this case, two standards are used, the readings of which are then compared. The device is tested with minimal error.
• Using a hydraulic press.
  The equipment consists of several weights, a reference meter, a press and a pressure supply device. The pressure gauge is located between the elements of the unit. The final indicators must coincide at control points.
• Using a calibrator.
  The mobile device allows you to conduct research at the installation site of the device being tested. This method is not applicable to measuring instruments requiring government supervision and control.

The first two methods involve sealing and installing a stamp on a proven pressure gauge. Upon completion of the verification, a protocol is issued, which is stored until the next inspection.

Self-check of the pressure gauge

If your task is not to document the timing of checking the pressure gauge, but to verify its operation, then you can check the pressure gauge yourself. For this you will need a control device.

Checking the serviceability of the pressure gauge:

• Install a pressure gauge into the container to check. Wait until the arrow stops.
• Remove the device. Install a control pressure gauge there.
• Compare the received readings.
• If they do not match, the pressure gauge must be repaired or replaced.

The frequency of checking pressure gauges in households and enterprises not from areas falling under GROEI should also be established in accordance with the technical data sheet of the devices.

Verification of heat meters in Moscow: guarantee of reading accuracy

Verification of heat meters, electricity meters, gas consumption is a procedure, the specifics of which, frequency and other parameters are determined by the State Standard of the Russian Federation, the equipment manufacturer, as well as certification bodies. This process is necessary to directly monitor the accuracy of instrument readings and determine their compliance with the current regulations. At the same time, the controlling authority of the energy supplier has the right not to accept readings if the heat meters and other measuring instruments included in the kit have not been verified. In this case, standard indicators are used for payment, and their value is usually more impressive - therefore you will have to overpay.
