Precision Pressure Calibration with the Fluke P3000 Deadweight Tester at American Bolting

Precision Pressure Calibration You Can Trust

When safety, compliance, and uptime are on the line, there is no room for “close enough” in pressure calibration.

At American Bolting, we take pressure measurement seriously. That’s why we’ve invested in the Fluke P3000 Series Deadweight Tester – widely regarded as one of the most accurate and reliable primary pressure standards in the industry.

What Is a Fluke P3000 Deadweight Tester?

The Fluke P3000 is a precision hydraulic deadweight tester designed for laboratory-grade accuracy in both shop and field environments. It generates and measures pressure by applying known weights to a precisely machined piston-cylinder assembly, creating a true primary standard.

Key advantages of the Fluke P3000:

  • Exceptional accuracy – Up to 0.005% of reading.
  • Wide pressure range – Ideal for 10,000 PSI hydraulic systems and lower-range process instruments.
  • NIST-traceable results – Highly repeatable and dependable measurements.
  • Rugged construction – Built for daily industrial use.
  • Easy-to-use procedures – Clear and repeatable testing processes.

This is the same technology trusted by national metrology labs, authorized service centers, and high-stakes industries worldwide. Perfect for AMETEK Crystal XP2I Digital Pressure Gauges.
