Reference pressure sensor

§ 43. (1) Reference pressure transducers used in the dynamic calibration (Section 50 (4)) shall be provided with the corresponding adapter by the Federal Office of Eich-und Vermessungswesen or equivalent metrological institutes of other states or by the Federal Office for the Protection of Measurements (§ 50). Accredited test sites for this purpose. A certificate shall be issued on the outcome of the review.

(2) The reference pressure sensor shall be subject to the following conditions:

1.		Measuring range, according to the scope of application:
20 MPa to 200 MPa + 10% or 200 MPa to 600 MPa + 10%;
2.		Temperature range: -50 ° C to +100 ° C;
3.		Linearity: + 0.5% of the final value;
4.		Limit frequency: 100 kHz;

(3) In the subsequent verifications referred to in paragraph 1, greater deviations from the sensitivity shall be determined than:

1.		2% compared to the last review,
2.		4% compared to the first review,
If only one of the two values is exceeded, the pressure transducer must no longer be used as a reference pressure sensor. However, it can be used as a pressure sensor for gas pressure measurements, as long as it meets the relevant conditions (§ 47).

Primary calibration

§ 44. (1) In order to carry out the calibrations, those adapters are to be used which are provided by the manufacturers of the mechanical-electrical pressure sensors.

At least five intermediate values are to be determined, i.e., it is to be measured in total at at least seven measuring points.

(3) At each measuring point, at least three tests shall be carried out in order to obtain a mean sensitivity value.

(4) The calibration curve shall be calculated as the straight line of the "smallest error squares". In the case of the mechanical-electrical pressure sensor with channel, it has to pass through the origin. In the case of the mechanical-electrical tangential or conformal-pressure sensor, the offset determined by the calibration must be taken into consideration. In both cases, the firing tests are based on a non-linear dependence between the charge Q and the gas pressure P as the basis for consideration of the sensitivity.

Secondary calibration

§ 45. (1) In order to carry out the calibrations, those adapters are to be used which are provided by the manufacturers of the mechanical-electrical pressure sensors.

(2) If a static calibrator is used, the measurements shall be carried out with the appropriate application of section 44 (2). If a dynamic calibrator is used, at least one experiment shall be carried out with at least 20% of the maximum gas pressure to be checked, which must be 1.3 times the measured value.

(3) At each measuring point, at least three tests shall be carried out in order to obtain a mean sensitivity value.

(4) The calibration line is to be calculated like the straight line of the "smallest error squares". It can go through the origin. If it does not originate from the origin (Section 44 (4)), the offset must be taken into account.

Repeated Calibration

§ 46. (1) The repeated calibration consists of a number of

1.		primary calibrations (§ 44) and
2.		secondary calibrations (§ 45).

(2) The checks of the primary calibrations shall be carried out:

1.		During the first 600 shots, at least every 200 shots and then at least all 3000 shots;
2.		in addition, whenever the sensitivity of a secondary calibration has been changed by more than 3% compared to the last calibration;
3.		Further, if the measured mean values for tests which were carried out simultaneously with several mechanical-electrical pressure transducers deviate by more than 4% from each other.

(3) The secondary calibration controls shall be carried out:

1.		if any of the following anomalies are detected in the shots used to determine the gas pressure of the ammunition:
a)			the dispersion of the values;
b)			Non-indication of the values;
c)			Escape of gas;
2.		The control of the sensitivity of the pressure transducers must be carried out at least every 500 shots at the value of the pressure to be measured.

Withdrawal of a pressure transducer

§ 47. (1) If irregularities are found in the calibrations of a pressure transducer, the tests shall be carried out at least twice, after each of the pressure sensors has been cleaned and dried at 65 ° C. Care must be taken to ensure that the measuring chain always has the required precision limits (§ 41 para. 2).

(2) The mechanical-electrical pressure sensor shall be separated if nevertheless one of the following deficiencies is established:

1.		instability of the measurements at the same pressure and at any attempt of more than 2%;
2.		Linearity deviation in the curve of the primary calibration by more than 1%;
3.		Determination of deviations of the pressure transducer during the calibration process.

Choice of calibrator

§ 48. (1) For the examination of the static behavior of the mechanical-electrical pressure sensors, these are to be subjected to a reference pressure, which serves as the primary variable, with the aid of a static calibrator (manometer scale).

(2) For the verification of the correspondence between the dynamic sensitivities of measurements and the static sensitivities in the calibration, is a dynamic calibrator (oil bomb, reference ammunition with multi-stage charges, Shock wave tube).

(3) The choice of the calibrator shall be made in accordance with the scale of the pressure transducer to be calibrated. With regard to the functioning of the calibrator, the technical instructions of its manufacturer must be observed. The assembly instructions of the manufacturer of the pressure transducer must also be taken into consideration. The adapters corresponding to this information are to be used. In particular, it is to be avoided that air is enclosed in the hydraulic circuit.

(4) Prior to calibration, the insulation resistance (Risol) of the mechanical-electrical pressure transducer shall be measured with the aid of an insulation tester (ohmmeter with a high test voltage):

1.		Is Risol > 1-10 12 , calibration may be carried out;
2.		is Risol < 1-10 12 , the plug is to be cleaned or to suspend the pressure sensor for several hours at a temperature of approximately 80 ° C and then to re-examine the insulation resistance;
3.		Risol remains < 1-10 12 , the pressure transducer is to be taken out of operation.

(5) Weiters must be subjected to a pre-treatment before each calibration of the pressure pickups to be tested by exposing the maximum pressure to the intended calibration with the aid of the manometric equipment in three successive loads. .

Static Calibrator

§ 49. (1) The static calibration shall be carried out by means of a gauge scale according to the following measurement scheme:

(4) Before each calibration cycle (par. 3) the amplification factor of the charge amplifier can be determined with the aid of the standard voltage and the capacitance of the calibrating capacitor.

(5) All voltages that correspond to the settings and pressure levels must be recorded. From this, the calibration curve, the linearity deviation, the repeatability in the course of the calibration and the sensitivity of the pressure transducer must be determined. For each measuring point, the electrical charge Q of the pressure transducer shall be determined as follows:

Q = (V1-V0)-G.

It means: V1: the voltage that is read at the respective pressure stage;
V0: the residual voltage which is detected when the pressure is equal to zero;
G: the amplification factor of the charge amplifier defined by the initial setting.

(3) In the "ratio pressure drop height" method, a mass M is used, which is dropped in succession from ever higher heights according to the load stages and measurements. The maximum pressure value is recorded at each drop height and at each measurement, and the calibration curve is determined therefrom.

(4) In the method "reference pressure sensor", a mass M is dropped from a maximum height and the dynamic response of the reference converter (B2), which indicates the pressure of the manometric device (A), is compared with the dynamic reaction of the reference pressure sensor (B2). A pressure transducer (T) which indicates the value of the measured charge is registered. The value pairs of pressure/charge result in the calibration curve of the pressure sensor (T) to be tested, which is valid for the entire measuring width.
