Introduction
This manual contains operation and routine and preventive maintenance instructions for
the Model P5515, P5515-V, and P5515-EP Hydraulic Comparison Test Pump. The
manual will refer to all model numbers of the instrument listed above generically as a
Model P5515, unless denoted as only applicable to a specific model number.
The Comparison Test Pump is used for checking pressure-measuring instruments against
Master Test Gauges.
Note
The terms Master Test Gauge and Gauge in this document refer to
any pressure-measuring instrument such as Transfer Standards, Digital
Calibrators, and Transducers.
This system is only as accurate as the Master Test Gauge used. The Master Test Gauge
must be regularly calibrated on a Primary Reference Standard (such as a Deadweight
Tester) to ensure accuracy is maintained.
