For a complete calibration, take the gauge up to full scale, hold it there for 60
seconds, release the pressure and zero the gauge. Apply positive pressures to the
upper port and a negative pressure to the lower port such that changes in
atmospheric pressure will not affect the calibration. Record the reference and
gauge readings for each point on the table below. Ensure that all zero shift of the
reference gauge is removed for each reading.
The Ascending and Descending readings must be taken at the target pressures shown
+/-1 Pa if the pressure is below 20 Pa, +/-2 Pa if the pressure is below 50 Pa or +/-5
Pa if the pressure is above 50 Pa. That is to say the readings must be taken at these
target points within these limits; these limits do not describe the accuracy required.
