Laboratory for Pressure Measuring

Powiększ Powiększ
AP 004
AB 134

The Laboratory has been accredited by the Polish Centre of Accreditation (Certificate No. AP 004) in the area of calibration of pressure measuring devices. Besides, it has been granted the Certificate No. AB 134 in the field of pressure gauge testing, pressure measurement in closed containers and leaktightness testing.

The Laboratory operates in accordance with the internal quality management system consistent with both the NATO AQAP 2210 standardisation document and the ISO 9001 standard.

Pm - measured pressure

The Laboratory for Pressure Measuring has been accredited in the field of calibration of the following types of pressure gauges:

  • indicating pressure gauges with elastic measuring elements,
  • load-piston manometers,
  • aneroid,
  • electronic read-out pressure gauges,
  • pressure converter,
  • boost gauge.

The Laboratory carries out calibration of:

  • monitoring systems & measuring devices used for checking on-board pilotage and navigational systems;
  • altimeters, speedometers, Machmeters and variometers.
