Technical Data
PGC-10000-AF
™
Pneumatic Gauge
Calibrator
PGC-10000-AF is a special configuration
of DHI’s GPC1 Gas Pressure Controller
and RPM4 A70M/A20M Reference Pres-
sure Monitor (see the GPC1 and RPM4
brochures for details). The PGC-10000-AF
was designed to optimize the testing and
calibration of analog and digital pres-
sure gauges and indicators in ranges from
less than 500 psi (3.5 MPa) to 10 000 psi
(70 MPa). This special configuration was
selected by the United States Air Force
as the next generation high pressure
pneumatic gauge calibration system for
deployment in its Precision Measurement
Equipment Laboratories (PMELs) through-
out the world.
With GPC1 and associated GB-152 Gas
Booster, the operator effortlessly gener-
ates and adjusts pressure to set the device
under test to its cardinal point. The RPM4
then precisely measures the actual pres-
sure applied.
Interactive RPM4 embedded software
auto-matically sets up the calibration
procedure based on entry of the DUT
full scale and tolerance. It then steps the
operator through the test, logging data and
providing real time notification of in or
out-of-tolerance conditions at each point.
A foot pedal “ENTER” switch allows the
operator to trigger readings hands free.
Features
• Calibrate any range device in gas from less
than 500 to 10 000 psi (70 MPa) FS with one
compact, integrated system
• Effortless operation; no pumping, no weight
lifting
• Includes gas booster to boost a bottled air
supply as low as 400 psi (2.75 MPa) to
10 000 psi (70 MPa)
• Easily set pressure to DUT cardinal point and
read back actual pressure from the reference
• On-board calibration routines with real time
out-of-tolerance notification and data logging
• Foot pedal “ENTER” key for hands free sequence
execution
• Completeatypicalhighpressuregaugerunin
about 20 minutes (20 % ascending increments)
• Supports 12 units of measure and custom units
• Push button switching between gauge and
absolute measurement modes
• RS-232 and IEEE-488 interfaces included; com-
patible with COMPASS® for Pressure software
• Delivered with connectors and adaptors for
NPT, AN4 and gland and collar DUTs
• Includes molded, reusable transit case for
shipping RPM4/HPMS transfer standard for
recalibration

gauge and absolute)
Hi Q-RPT: 10 000 psi (70 MPa)
Lo Q-RPT: 3 000 psi (20 MPa)
Pressure measurement
Precision1Hi Q-RPT1: ± 0.0175 % of reading or 0.44 psi (3 kPa), whichever is larger
Lo Q-RPT ± 0.0175 % of reading or 0.13 psi (0.9 kPa), whichever is larger
Predicted stability2± 0.004 % of reading
Measurement uncertainty3Hi Q-RPT: ± 0.02 % of reading or 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa), whichever is larger
Lo Q-RPT: ± 0.02 % of reading or 0.15 psi (1 kPa), whichever is larger
1 Precision: Combined linearity, hysteresis, repeatability.
2 Stability: Change in zero and span, with use of AutoZ feature, over 6 months period for typical RPT used under
typical conditions. As stability can only be predicted and varies from Q-RPT to Q-RPT, stability for a specific Q-RPT
should be established from experience.
3 Maximum deviation of the Q-RPT indication from the true value of applied pressure including precision, predicted
one year stability, temperature effect and calibration uncertainty (assumes calibration reference uncertainty of
± 0.005 % of reading), combined and expanded (k=2) following the ISO “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement.”
