Pressure Transmitter
Calibrate 4-20mA and HART pressure transmitters to IEC 60770 for process control.
Standards
IEC 60770-1, HART protocol, ISO/IEC 17025
Typical Interval
12 months
Uncertainty Range
±0.05% FS
What Is Pressure Transmitter?
Pressure transmitters convert pressure into 4-20mA or HART signals for PLC/DCS systems. Calibration verifies both pressure measurement accuracy and output signal accuracy (4mA = 0% of range, 20mA = 100% of range).
Applicable Standards
Primary standards: IEC 60770-1, HART protocol, ISO/IEC 17025
ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories must maintain an unbroken traceability chain from the calibration result back to NIMT (Thailand's national metrology institute) or another internationally recognised NMI.
Typical Measurement Uncertainty
Expanded uncertainty is typically ±0.05% FS, depending on the measurement range, reference equipment used, and environmental conditions. The actual uncertainty will be stated on your calibration certificate.
Recommended Calibration Interval
A calibration interval of 12 months is generally recommended. The appropriate interval for your specific instrument depends on usage frequency, environmental exposure, and any applicable regulatory or customer requirements.
What Your Calibration Certificate Will Include
- Calibration results — instrument indication vs. reference value at each test point
- Error and expanded uncertainty (U) at k=2 (95% confidence level)
- Traceability chain to NIMT or a recognised NMI
- Environmental conditions during calibration (temperature, humidity)
- Calibration date, certificate number, and authorised signature

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to calibrate a Pressure Transmitter?+
Pressure measurement errors directly impact process safety and product quality. A Pressure Transmitter outside tolerance can trigger false alarms or — more dangerously — miss a real pressure event. Calibration verifies accuracy to ±0.05% FS per IEC 60770-1, HART protocol, ISO/IEC 17025.
How often should a Pressure Transmitter be calibrated?+
Most Pressure Transmitters should be calibrated every 12 months under normal operating conditions. High-use environments, harsh conditions (vibration, temperature extremes), or regulatory requirements (FDA, GMP, ISO 17025) may necessitate more frequent calibration. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended interval as a baseline and consult your lab's quality plan.
What does a Pressure Transmitter calibration certificate show?+
A calibration certificate issued under ISO/IEC 17025 includes: the instrument identification (make, model, serial number), the reference standards used (with their own traceability chain), the measurement points tested, before/after correction values, the expanded measurement uncertainty (±0.05% FS), the environmental conditions during calibration, the calibration date and next-due date, and the signature of the authorized calibration engineer. This certificate is the evidence required for audits and accreditation.
