Objective

The main objectives of the pressure laboratory are to establish, maintain and upgrade national primary standards of pressure measurements compatible to international standards through research and development.

The aim of the pressure laboratory is to realize, maintain and disseminate the derived SI Units of pressure (Pa).The laboratory has been providing apex level calibrations in different pressure regions and maintains traceability of pressure measurements at international level.

The main activities of the laboratory are participate inter comparisons in the field of pressure and to assure international traceability, provide calibration service to calibration laboratories, testing laboratories and to industry.

Pressure is a derived Unit combining the SI Units of Mass, Length and Time.

SI Unit - Pa=Nm-2

Standards

Currently the Pressure Laboratory maintains the following Standards

• Piston Cylinder Units of Hydraulic Pressure Balance
  
  • Range up to 200 MPa

 

• Piston Cylinder Units of Pneumatic (Gas) Pressure Balance
  • Range up to 7000 kPa



• ISO/IEC 17025 Certification of Accreditation
• CMC

Calibration Services

Following calibration services provided by pressure laboratory from existing pressure facility.

• Hydraulic pressure gauges - up to 200 MPa
• Pneumatic (gas) pressure calibration - up to 7000 kPa
• Testing of Blood pressure meters (Mercury sphygmomanometers, digital blood pressure apparatus, aneroid apparatus)
