  • Page 19: Calibration

    CHAPTER 7 TELEVAC Calibration All TELEVAC instrumentation is calibrated at the factory. No further calibration at the customer’s facility should be required. For a reliable re-calibration at a later date, it is necessary to have a reference standard vacuum system whose pressure is known very accurately. For such a calibration, the instrument, sensor tube and cable should be returned to TELEVAC for re-certification.
