A Comparison of Calibration Methods for Gas Pressure Gauge Testing

Accuracy of gas pressure gauge measurements is important to ensure that gas companies bill their customers accurately.
There are also safety implications since what is being measured is a flammable substance. Calibration is typically used to
ensure that measurements taken by a gas pressure gauge do not drift far from the correct values: pressure measurements
are taken with the device being calibrated and with a device that is known to give very accurate readings; differences between
the two sets of readings are used to make corrections. A possible improvement in the calibration method will be developed
and compared with the current method in the hope of obtaining improved accuracy.
