General - Diagrams of Pressure Output Modules IAGRAMS OF RESSURE UTPUT ODULES The pressure output modules are designed to produce very accurate pressures when calibrating pressure instruments. For pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi) an adjustable volume is used to help achieving the exact pressure. Needle valves are used in high pressure modules.
