FAQs

How often do I need to calibrate my gauge?

There is no fixed time, calibration frequency is based on how often the gauge is used and the conditions that the gauge is exposed to. Frequent use and abrasive materials will require more frequent calibration, low use in a clean environment will allow less frequent calibration. Usually the user determines the calibration frequency.

Is BSPT still a current standard?

No, the current standard is ISO 7.

BSPT was replaced by AS1722 Part 1, then AS1722 Part 1 was replaced by ISO 7.

Is AS1722 Part 1 the same as ISO 7?

It is very close but there are some variations.
