Summary:

Pressure sensors are critical monitoring components in vehicle‑mounted pump hydraulic systems, and their accuracy directly impacts the safe operation and performance of the equipment. Regular calibration of pressure sensors ensures the reliability of measurement data, providing an accurate basis for equipment operation and maintenance.

I. Preparations Before Calibration

Calibration Condition Confirmation

Ensure that the calibration environment meets the requirements:

1. Ambient temperature: 20±5℃ , avoid drastic temperature changes

2. Relative humidity: ≤85% , no condensation phenomenon

3. Vibration Interference: The calibration platform shall be stable and free from vibration.

4. Electromagnetic Environment: Keep away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Calibration Equipment Preparation

Required instruments and tools:

Standard pressure gauge: accuracy class 0.25 Level and above

Pressure source: manual pump or electric pressure calibrator

Digital multimeter: accuracy of 4.5 digits or higher

Dedicated connecting fittings and transition piping

II. Calibration Procedures and Methods

Zero calibration

Sensor Zero Adjustment:

Ensure the pressure sensor is at atmospheric pressure.

Record the zero-point output current or voltage value.

Adjust the zero-point potentiometer to set the output to 4mA or 0V

Repeat the check three times to confirm zero-point stability.

Full-scale calibration

Range Accuracy Adjustment:

1. Slowly apply pressure up to the sensor’s full-scale range.

2. Compare the standard indicated value with the sensor output.

3. Adjust the range potentiometer to match the output.

4. After depressurization, check whether the zero point has drifted.

III. Linearity Test

Multi-point calibration

Select calibration points across the entire measurement range:

0%、25%、50%、75%、100% Range point

Measure once in the forward stroke and once in the reverse stroke.

Record the output values at each point and their corresponding standard values.

Calculate the linear error and hysteresis.

Data Processing and Analysis

Calibration Data Analysis Method:

1. Calculate the measurement error at each point.

2. Determine the linear regression equation.

3. Analysis of Repeatability Error

4. Assess sensor performance level

IV. Key Points for On-Site Calibration

Online calibration

Equipment calibration method without shutdown:

Install a tee fitting upstream of the sensor.

Connect a standard pressure gauge for comparison.

Record performance under working conditions.

Note the impact of system pressure fluctuations.

Safety Precautions

On-site calibration safety requirements:

1. Confirm that the system has been depressurized.

2. Operate using explosion-proof tools.

3. Implement effective oil-leak prevention measures.

4. Set up safety warning signs.

V. Processing of Calibration Results

Passing Criteria

According to the accuracy requirements:

Basic error: not exceeding the range of ±0.5%

Hysteresis: not exceeding the span of ±0.25%

Repeatability error: not exceeding the range of ±0.1%

Zero drift: 24 Not exceeding the range per hour ±0.1%

Calibration Record Completion

Standard Recording Requirements:

1. Device Information and Environmental Conditions

2. Use Standard Instrument Details

3. Data Records for Each Calibration Point

4. Calibration Conclusion and Handling Recommendations

VI. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Zero-drift correction

Handling when the zero point is unstable:

Check sensor sealing

Confirm that the supply voltage is stable.

Insulation of the detection signal line

Consider sensor aging and replacement.

Nonlinear correction

Handling measures for nonlinear output:

1. Inspect the sensor installation status.

2. Confirm that the medium is clean and free of impurities.

3. Perform linear compensation using software.

4. Replace the sensor with degraded performance.

VII. Maintenance and Management Recommendations

Calibration Cycle Determination

Developed based on usage:

New sensor: Must be calibrated before use.

Normal use: each 6 Calibrated once a month.

Important parts: each 3 Calibrated once a month.

Special operating conditions: Shorten the cycle as needed.

Establishment of Management Systems

A comprehensive management system:

1. Establish a sensor calibration record.

2. Develop a calibration work instruction.

3. Train professional calibration personnel

4. Implement calibration quality monitoring

Conclusion

Accurate calibration of in‑vehicle pump pressure sensors is a critical step in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the equipment. By establishing standardized calibration procedures, using qualified calibration instruments, and training skilled calibration personnel, the accuracy of pressure measurement data can be guaranteed. It is recommended to develop a comprehensive sensor management system, strictly adhere to prescribed calibration intervals, and maintain complete calibration records, thereby providing robust assurance for the safe and dependable operation of the equipment. At the same time, emphasis should be placed on analyzing and leveraging calibration data to promptly identify potential issues and continuously enhance the overall level of equipment management.
