Question

A dead weight tester is used widely for________________

• A. Producing high pressures
• B. Testing magnitude of the given weight
• C. Calibration of other equipment
• D. Accurate measurement of loads

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Calibration of other equipment

A deadweight tester is used for the calibration of other equipment by generating very precise pressures with calibrated weights placed on top of a hydraulic piston. It can measure the pressure exerted by gas or liquid and can also generate a test pressure for the calibration of numerous pressure instruments.
