Beta Gauge P.I. Digital Pressure Test Gauge
±0.05% F.S. Accuracy

PRICE STARTING AT $725.00

The Beta Gauge P. I. Digital Pressure Test Gauge takes the concept of an analog Test Gauge, and brings it to a new level, as only Beta Calibrators can do. The Beta Gauge P.I. combines the accuracy of digital technology with the simplicity of an analog gauge, and achieves performance, ease-of-use, and a feature set unmatched in the pressure measurement world. Setup of the Beta Gauge P. I. is fast and straightforward, through a menu-driven display, with minimal text, and intuitive functions, that is simple enough to allow the gauge to be used anywhere in the world, without the need for multilingual displays. And the availability of optional sanitary seals that meet 3A standards per specification 37-01 allow the gauge to be used in virtually any application.

Ease-of-use, performance, and features set the Beta Gauge P. I. Digital Pressure Test Gauge apart, just as you’ve come to expect from Beta Calibrators!

Accuracy: The Beta Gauge P. I. first and foremost, provides 0.05% of full scale readings of pressure in any one of eight (8) ranges. Readings may be displayed in any one of 18 standard engineering units, or, in custom units you define, to eliminate tedious conversion calculations.
Display: The 5-1/2 digit, 0.65" high digital display and companion percent-of-range bar graph provide an easy to read display, even from a distance.
Sampling Rate: The reading sample rate can be user-adjusted to match the type of measurement required. For example, when capturing pressure switch threshold points, a 10 samples/second sample rates allows more data points for a more accurate reading of the actual switching threshold. For normal use, a “standard” instrument-grade 3 samples/second rate can be set. In instances where the signal needs to be filtered, the sample rate can be set to 1 sample/second. A power saving mode, at 1 sample per 2 seconds, allows the Beta Gauge P. I. to enter a “sleep” mode, where the display is frozen between readings, maximizing battery life to 2,000 hours. This mode is ideal when more frequent readings are not necessary and battery life is a concern, especially in panel-mounted applications.
MIN/MAX Function: A MIN/MAX function is provided which instantly recalls the minimum and maximum pressure readings that have been automatically stored by the Beta Gauge P. I.
Auto Shutoff: An auto power shutoff feature may be enabled for a preset time interval to extend battery life.
Field Recalibration: Password-protected field calibration of the Beta Gauge P. I. may be initiated through the keypad.
RS232 Port: An RS232 port allows pressure reading data to be extracted directly from the gauge for off-line analysis. Requires Martel RS232 cable (P/N C232SJ).
TARE Adjustment: In addition to a ZERO function that compensates for sensor drift, large residual system pressures can be nulled using the TARE adjustment. This adjustment, when combined with the ability to create custom engineering units for display, allows the Beta Gauge P. I. to be used in a variety of liquid level and volume measurements, easily reading units of interest, such as gallons in a tank, directly.
Temperature Display and Compensation: The Beta Gauge P. I. is temperature compensated to retain its accuracy over its operating range. The temperature measured by its internal sensor can be displayed in °C or °F.
Damping Adjustment: Damping can be set to integrate readings to accommodate pulsating sources, such as plant air.
Sanitary Seal Option: The Beta Gauge P. I. is available with diaphragm seals made of 316 stainless steel, with quick-couples that meet 3A Standards per specification. 37-01 for use in sanitary piping applications in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industries requiring extreme levels of purity. The seal elements are designed to mount on tees or welding ferrules. Their design allows for fast, efficient installation and removal for flushing or changing process media, line cleanout, and equipment wash down.
External Power Input Option: An optional external 24 VDC power input is available for applications where the Beta Gauge P. I. will be permanently incorporated into a process line.
Rubber Boot Option: A protective rubber boot is available to help protect the Beta Gauge P. I. from damage when dropped.
Pressure Calibration Kit Option: The Beta Gauge P. I. is available in a self-contained calibration kit, including a hand pressure pump, and associated fittings.
