Pressure Generation up to 700 bar
The Magnum Pro M-10 generates hydraulic pressure from:
0 to 10,000 psi
or approximately:
0 to 700 bar.
This pressure range makes the M-10 suitable for a broad range of industrial and calibration applications.
Typical devices under test include:
- Analog pressure gauges
- Digital pressure gauges
- Pressure transmitters
- Pressure transducers
- Pressure sensors
- Pressure switches
The M-10 generates the hydraulic pressure required for testing these instruments.
Hydraulic Calibration Hand Pump
The Magnum Pro M-10 is a:
hydraulic calibration hand pump.
Pressure is generated manually by operating the pump handles.
No electrical power supply is required.
This makes the M-10 particularly suitable for applications where portability and independence from an external power source are important.
Pressure Generator – Not a Pressure Reference
The Magnum Pro M-10 generates pressure but does not independently measure the reference pressure.
For calibration applications, a separate reference pressure instrument is required.
A typical calibration system consists of:
Magnum Pro M-10 + Reference Pressure Gauge + Device Under Test
The M-10 generates the hydraulic pressure.
The reference instrument measures the generated pressure.
The device under test is exposed to the same pressure.
Its indication can then be compared directly with the reference value.
Comparison Calibration
The comparison principle provides a flexible solution for professional pressure calibration.
For example, a precision digital pressure gauge can be connected as the reference.
A conventional mechanical pressure gauge can then be connected as the device under test.
Pressure is generated with the Magnum Pro M-10 and adjusted to the required calibration points.
The DUT indication is compared with the reference instrument at each measurement point.
Fully Adjustable Stroke Control
One of the distinctive features of the Magnum Pro M-10 is its:
fully adjustable stroke control.
The pump stroke can be adjusted according to the required pressure generation characteristics.
This provides several advantages:
- Quick priming
- Easier initial pressure generation
- Efficient high-pressure generation
- Improved operator control
The adjustable stroke helps optimize operation across the wide pressure range of the pump.
Quick Priming
Before high hydraulic pressure can be generated efficiently, the pressure system must be filled correctly with the selected test medium.
The M-10 incorporates a:
priming feature.
This simplifies preparation of the hydraulic pressure system and helps the operator establish the initial pressure before proceeding to higher calibration pressures.
Ergonomic Handles
Generating pressures up to 700 bar manually requires a pump that is comfortable to operate.
The Magnum Pro M-10 therefore features:
contoured cushioned handles.
The ergonomic handle design improves operator comfort during repeated pumping.
This is particularly useful when multiple pressure instruments must be calibrated during one working day.
Patented Triple Filtration
Contamination is one of the major causes of problems in hydraulic pressure generation equipment.
The Magnum Pro M-10 therefore incorporates a:
patented triple filtration system.
The filtration system is designed to help prevent pump failures caused by dirt and contamination.
This is particularly useful for field applications where the pressure pump may be exposed to less controlled environmental conditions than in a calibration laboratory.
Protection Against Contamination
Clean hydraulic media are important for reliable operation of any high-pressure calibration pump.
Particles can affect:
- Valves
- Seals
- Pressure connections
- Internal moving components
The integrated filtration concept of the M-10 provides additional protection for the internal hydraulic system.
Clean test media should nevertheless always be used.
Built-In Pressure Relief Valve
The Magnum Pro M-10 incorporates a:
built-in pressure relief valve.
The pressure relief valve is designed to protect the system against accidental overpressurization.
This is particularly important because the pump is capable of generating pressures as high as:
10,000 psi / 700 bar.
The maximum permissible pressure of the pump and every connected component must always be observed.
Protected Vent Control
The M-10 incorporates a patented:
protective cage around the vent knob.
The protective structure helps prevent accidental operation or mechanical damage to the vent control.
This contributes to the rugged design of the pump for field and workshop applications.
Shatter-Resistant Reservoir
The hydraulic medium is stored in an integrated:
shatterproof reservoir.
This provides greater durability than a conventional fragile reservoir design.
The reservoir allows the hydraulic medium to be carried directly with the pump, eliminating the need for a separate external fluid reservoir during normal operation.
Oversized Check Valves
The Magnum Pro M-10 uses:
oversized check valves.
These valves are designed to provide smooth and controlled pump operation.
Reliable check-valve operation is particularly important when pressure must be generated repeatedly over a wide pressure range.
Compatible Pressure Media
The Magnum Pro M-10 is compatible with:
- Hydraulic fluids
- Hydraulic oils
- Water
For typical calibration applications, clean media should be used.
Documented recommendations include:
distilled water
or:
mineral-based hydraulic oil.
The selected medium must always be compatible with the device under test and all components in the pressure system.
Distilled Water
Distilled water can be useful when hydraulic oil contamination must be avoided.
This may be relevant when calibrating pressure instruments intended for water-based systems.
The pressure system should be cleaned appropriately when changing between different pressure media.
Hydraulic Oil
Mineral-based hydraulic oil can be used for conventional hydraulic pressure calibration.
Oil provides suitable lubrication for many high-pressure applications and is commonly used with industrial hydraulic pressure gauges, sensors and transmitters.
The medium requirements of the DUT should always be checked before connection.
Non-Oil-Based Internal Lubricant
An interesting design feature of the M-10 is that a:
non-oil-based lubricant
is used on the pump’s moving components.
This is part of the manufacturer’s design approach for reliable pump operation.
Two Pressure Ports
The Magnum Pro M-10 provides:
two pressure ports.
This makes the pump particularly convenient for comparison calibration.
One port can be used for the reference pressure gauge.
The second port can be used for the device under test or for a high-pressure hose leading to the DUT.
1/4″ Pressure Connections
The documented connection specification is:
2 × 1/4″ NPT/BSP pressure ports.
Depending on the exact configuration and supplied adapters, the pump can therefore be integrated with commonly used industrial pressure fittings.
Suitable adapters can be used for other connection types.
Pressure Gauge Calibration
The Magnum Pro M-10 is particularly suitable for pressure gauge calibration.
A precision reference gauge and the pressure gauge under test are connected to the hydraulic pressure system.
The operator then generates defined calibration pressures.
A typical measurement sequence may include:
0% → 20% → 40% → 60% → 80% → 100%
of the calibration range.
The pressure can subsequently be reduced through the same measurement points.
This allows the indication error of the pressure gauge to be evaluated over the complete calibration range.
Digital Pressure Gauge Calibration
The M-10 can also be combined with a precision digital pressure reference for calibration of another digital pressure gauge.
The M-10 generates the pressure while the reference instrument determines the actual pressure value.
This creates a compact manual calibration system for field or laboratory applications.
Pressure Transmitter Calibration
The Magnum Pro M-10 can be used as the hydraulic pressure source for pressure transmitter calibration.
A complete setup may consist of:
M-10 + Pressure Reference + Electrical Calibrator + Pressure Transmitter
The M-10 generates pressure.
The reference gauge measures pressure.
The electrical calibrator measures the transmitter output.
For a conventional process transmitter, this is often:
4 to 20 mA.
This allows the relationship between applied pressure and electrical output to be evaluated.
Pressure Sensor Calibration
Pressure sensors and transducers can be tested using the same basic arrangement.
The M-10 generates the hydraulic input pressure while a suitable reference instrument measures the actual pressure.
The sensor output can then be recorded at each calibration point.
Pressure Switch Testing
The Magnum Pro M-10 can also provide the hydraulic pressure required for pressure switch testing.
Pressure is increased until the switch changes state.
The switching pressure is determined from the reference pressure instrument.
Pressure can subsequently be reduced until the switch resets.
This allows determination of:
- Switching pressure
- Reset pressure
- Switching hysteresis
Lightweight High-Pressure Pump
One of the strongest advantages of the Magnum Pro M-10 is its low weight.
The pump weighs approximately:
3 lb / 1.36 kg.
This is remarkably compact for a manually operated hydraulic pressure source capable of generating up to 700 bar.
The low weight makes the pump particularly attractive for field calibration.
Portable Field Calibration
The compact construction allows technicians to transport the Magnum Pro M-10 directly to the measurement location.
Instead of removing a pressure instrument and transporting it to a laboratory, suitable devices can be tested at their installation location.
A portable system can consist of:
- Magnum Pro M-10
- Precision digital pressure reference
- High-pressure hose
- Connection adapters
- Test fluid
- Carrying case
This provides a flexible solution for maintenance and service applications.
Laboratory Calibration
The M-10 is equally suitable for laboratory use.
Combined with a suitable precision pressure reference, the pump provides a straightforward manual comparison system for routine hydraulic calibration.
No compressed-air supply, hydraulic power unit or electrical pressure controller is required.
M-10KT Calibration Kit
In addition to the standalone M-10, Magnum Pro offers the:
