Pneumatic Pressure Generation up to 10 bar
The Fluke 700PMP is designed to generate pneumatic pressure up to:
1,000 kPa
10 bar
150 psi
This pressure range makes the pump suitable for many industrial pressure calibration applications.
Typical devices under test include pressure transmitters, pressure sensors, pressure switches and analog or digital pressure gauges.
The pressure is generated manually using the pump mechanism.
Unlike electrically operated pressure generators, the Fluke 700PMP does not require an external power supply.
This makes it particularly useful for mobile technicians working directly at industrial installations.
Compact Hand-Operated Design
The Fluke 700PMP features a cylindrical construction with a T-shaped handle at the pump end.
The handle is used to generate pressure through a linear pumping movement.
The pump stroke is approximately:
40 mm
This straightforward mechanism allows pressure to be generated quickly without complex operating procedures.
The compact construction is particularly useful when calibration must be performed in confined spaces or locations where larger pressure generation systems are impractical.
The pump can easily be transported together with a compatible Fluke calibrator and pressure module.
Precise Pressure Adjustment
Accurate pressure calibration requires more than simply generating pressure.
The applied pressure must also be adjusted to the required calibration point.
The Fluke 700PMP incorporates a multi-turn vernier for fine pressure adjustment.
This allows the operator to make small changes to the pressure after the approximate calibration point has been reached.
A typical calibration procedure involves generating pressure with the pump and then using the vernier to approach the desired reference value.
This is particularly useful when testing pressure transmitters or pressure switches with defined operating points.
The fine-adjustment mechanism provides improved control compared with relying exclusively on the main pumping movement.
Controlled Pressure Release
The Fluke 700PMP includes an integrated needle valve for controlled pressure release.
This valve allows the operator to reduce pressure gradually.
Controlled pressure release is useful when performing calibration measurements at decreasing pressure points.
For example, a pressure transmitter may be calibrated at several increasing pressure values and then tested again while pressure is reduced.
The integrated bleed valve helps the operator approach these decreasing pressure points without disconnecting the pressure system.
Before connecting or disconnecting any pressure components, the system must be completely depressurized.
Portable Pressure Calibration
The Fluke 700PMP is particularly suitable for mobile pressure calibration.
Its compact dimensions and low weight make it easy to carry alongside a handheld calibrator.
A typical portable calibration setup consists of:
Fluke 700PMP + Reference Pressure Module + Device Under Test
The pump generates the required pressure.
The reference pressure module measures the applied pressure.
The connected calibrator displays the reference measurement.
The reading of the device under test can then be compared with the reference value.
This arrangement provides a flexible solution for pressure calibration without requiring a stationary pressure controller.
Compatible with Fluke Pressure Modules
The Fluke 700PMP can be combined with compatible Fluke pressure modules.
These include suitable modules from the:
Fluke 700P Series
and:
Fluke 750P Series
The pressure module provides the measurement function, while the Fluke 700PMP generates the pressure.
This separation of pressure generation and measurement allows different reference modules to be used with the same pump.
For example, a low-pressure module may be selected for sensitive pressure transmitters, while a higher-range module can be used for applications approaching the maximum pump pressure.
The selected reference module must always be suitable for the intended pressure range.
Compatible Fluke Calibrators
The Fluke 700PMP is listed by Fluke as compatible pressure generation equipment for several calibrators.
Examples include:
- Fluke 717 Pressure Calibrator
- Fluke 718 Pressure Calibrator
- Fluke 719 Pressure Calibrator
- Fluke 725 Multifunction Process Calibrator
- Fluke 726 Precision Multifunction Calibrator
- Fluke 753 Documenting Process Calibrator
Compatibility depends on the selected instrument, pressure module and required connection accessories.
The Fluke 700PMP provides the pneumatic pressure source and does not independently measure pressure.
A suitable pressure reference is therefore required for calibration applications.
Pressure Transmitter Calibration
The Fluke 700PMP can be used as a pressure source when calibrating industrial pressure transmitters.
Pressure transmitters convert an applied pressure into an electrical output signal.
Common industrial transmitters use a:
4–20 mA output signal
During calibration, the applied pressure is compared with the corresponding electrical output.
A compatible multifunction calibrator can measure the electrical signal while a pressure module measures the reference pressure.
The Fluke 700PMP supplies the required pneumatic pressure.
This makes the pump useful for process instrumentation maintenance and transmitter verification.
Pressure Switch Testing
Pressure switches are used to detect when a defined pressure threshold has been reached.
The Fluke 700PMP can generate the pressure required to test the switching point.
The integrated fine adjustment allows the pressure to be increased gradually as the switching threshold is approached.
The pressure can then be reduced using the controlled bleed valve.
This makes it possible to examine both the switching point and the reset point.
The difference between these two values is commonly referred to as switching hysteresis.
A suitable reference instrument is required to determine the pressure values accurately.
Pressure Gauge Verification
The Fluke 700PMP is also suitable for checking analog and digital pressure gauges.
A pressure gauge can be connected to the same pneumatic pressure system as a suitable reference instrument.
The pump generates the pressure, and the reference instrument provides the comparison value.
Several calibration points can be approached using the main pump and the fine-adjustment mechanism.
The difference between the reference value and the gauge indication can then be determined.
This type of comparison measurement is commonly used during maintenance, inspection and calibration of industrial pressure gauges.
Pneumatic Pressure Connection
The Fluke 700PMP provides a:
1/8-inch NPT female pressure connection
This connection is used to connect the pump to the pressure measurement system.
Depending on the calibration arrangement, additional fittings, hoses or a suitable T-piece may be required to connect both the reference instrument and the device under test.
All pressure components must be rated for the intended operating pressure.
Connections should be checked for leaks before calibration measurements are performed.
Lightweight Construction
The Fluke 700PMP weighs approximately:
340 g
This low weight makes the pump especially convenient for mobile service technicians.
The compact construction also reduces the amount of equipment required for field calibration.
When combined with a handheld pressure calibrator and suitable accessories, the pump provides a practical portable pressure calibration solution.
Compact Dimensions
The manufacturer specifies dimensions of approximately:
265 × 35 mm
The narrow cylindrical construction makes the Fluke 700PMP easy to transport and store.
Its compact design is especially useful for technicians who frequently perform calibration work at different industrial locations.
