accreditation.
Stand-alone operation
Due to its integrated pressure generation and the purely
mechanical measuring principle, the model CPB3800 is ideal
for on-site use for maintenance and service.

Easy operation
The integrated dual-area spindle pump enables rapid filling
of the test system and smooth pressure generation up to
1,200 bar [16,000 lb/in²]. At the same time, the precisely
adjustable spindle pump also enables fine pressure
adjustment. A control schematic for pressure generation on
the instrument base facilitates quick and easy operation.

As soon as the measuring system reaches equilibrium, there

is a balance of forces between the pressure and the masses.
The excellent quality of the system ensures that this pressure
remains stable over several minutes, so that the pressure
value for comparative measurements can be read without
any problems, or also so that more complex adjustments can
be carried out on the test item.

Compact instrument version

The CPB3800 is also particularly notable for its compact
dimensions, which are not altered during operation, since the Control schematic on the CPB3800 instrument base
spindle runs within the pump body.
With its compact dimensions, the exceptionally robust ABS
plastic case and the low weight associated with these, the
CPB3800 is also particularly suited to on-site applications.

CPB3800 with dual-range piston-cylinder

systems

Next to the standard piston-cylinder systems the CPB3800

instrument base can also be combined with the CPS5800
single- or dual-range piston-cylinder systems.

With this combination the former 580 series dead-weight

tester from DH-Budenberg is still available. This includes all
580L/580M/580DX and 580HX instruments and are identical
in form, fit, function, specification and quality.

The standard piston-cylinder system
Both the piston and cylinder are manufactured from Force F
tungsten carbide. This pairing of materials, in comparison
to other materials, has very low pressure and temperature
coefficients of expansion, which results in a very good
linearity for the effective area of the piston and a very high
accuracy.

Piston and cylinder are very well protected against contact,

impacts or contamination from outside in a solid stainless-
steel case. At the same time, overpressure protection is
integrated, which prevents the piston from being forced out
vertically and avoids damage to the piston-cylinder system in 1
the event of masses removal under pressure.

The masses are stacked on mass carrier, which sits on the

piston shaft. The construction of the mass carrier provides

a very low centre of gravity for the stacked masses, which
minimises both the side thrust on the piston-cylinder system Piston-cylinder system with masses, without mass
and the friction. For smaller starting pressures, the masses carrier
can also be stacked directly onto the piston shaft, without
using the mass carrier.

The overall design of the piston-cylinder system and the Force F

very precise manufacturing of both the piston and the
cylinder, ensures excellent operating characteristics with
long free-rotation time and low sink rates. Thus a high
long-term stability is ensured. Therefore, the recommended
recalibration interval is two to five years dependent on the

CalibratorUnit model CPU6000
The models of the CPU6000 series are compact tools for use
with a pressure balance (dead-weight tester). In particular
when highly accurate measuring values, with measurement
uncertainties of less than 0.025 %, are required, complicated
mathematical calculations and corrections are necessary.
With the CPU6000 in combination with the WIKA-Cal (PC
software) all critical ambient parameters can be registered
and automatically corrected.

The CPU6000 series is made up of three

instruments
Weather station, model CPU6000-W
The CPU6000-W provides measured values such as
atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and the ambient CPU6000 series
temperature of the laboratory environment.

Pressure balance sensor box, model CPU6000-S

The CPU6000-S measures the piston temperature and
displays the floating position of the masses.

Digital multimeter, model CPU6000-M

The CPU6000-M fulfils the function of a digital multimeter
and power supply unit when electronic pressure transmitters
must be calibrated.

Typical application
WIKA-Cal PC software - Weight calculator
With the demo version of the WIKA-Cal software and a CPB
series pressure balance (dead-weight tester), the masses to
be applied and the corresponding reference pressure can be
determined. The pressure balance data (dead-weight tester
data) can be entered into the database manually or imported Model CPU6000-W, CPU6000-S, CPB5800 and PC with
automatically via an XML file available online. WIKA-Cal software
All ambient parameters and piston temperature can be
entered manually into WIKA-Cal or can be measured
automatically with the CPU6000 series, so that the highest
accuracy can be achieved. WIKA-Cal demo version can be
downloaded free of charge from the WIKA website.

Further specifications on the CPU6000 series can be found

in data sheet CT 35.02.
For details of the WIKA-Cal calibration software see data
sheet CT 95.10.

Accessories
Set of fine increment masses M1 and F1
The masses included in the standard mass set are ideally
suited for everyday use. If even smaller intermediate values
need to be generated, using one of the class M1 or F1
set of fine increment masses with the following masses is
recommended:

1 x 50 g, 2 x 20 g, 1 x 10 g, 1 x 5 g, 2 x 2 g, 1 x 1 g,
1 x 500 mg, 2 x 200 mg, 1 x 100 mg, 1 x 50 mg, 2 x 20 mg, Set of fine increment masses
1 x 10 mg, 1 x 5 mg, 2 x 2 mg, 1 x 1 mg

Test connections
With the existing standard test item connection, test items
with radial connection points can be mounted. For units with
rear connection points, a 90° angled connection piece is
available.

Fig. right: 90° angle connector

Separators
The separators (with diaphragm) have been specifically
designed for measuring instruments, which should not
come into contact with the medium of the pressure balance
(dead-weight tester) or to protect the pressure balance
(dead-weight tester) against contamination from the test
items.
