Complete Portable Pressure Calibration Solution
The Fluke 3130-G2M Portable Pressure Calibrator is designed for technicians who need a complete pressure calibration system that can be carried directly to the job site.
Unlike traditional calibration setups requiring separate pressure sources, gauges, and electrical measurement tools, the 3130-G2M integrates:
- Pressure generation
- Pressure measurement
- Current measurement
- Voltage measurement
- Loop power supply
into a single portable instrument.
This makes it an efficient solution for calibrating pressure transmitters, pressure switches, and other process instruments in industrial environments.
Integrated Motorized Pressure Pump
One of the main advantages of the Fluke 3130-G2M is its built-in motorized pump.
Compared with manual hand pumps, the integrated pump helps:
- Reduce operator effort
- Speed up pressure generation
- Improve calibration efficiency
- Provide smoother pressure control
The internal pump can generate:
- Vacuum down to -80 kPa (-12 psi, -0.8 bar)
- Pressure up to 2 MPa (300 psi, 20 bar)
For larger volume applications, an external gas supply can also be connected.
Pressure Measurement with High Accuracy
The 3130-G2M provides precision pressure measurement for field calibration applications.
Key performance:
- Pressure range: vacuum to 300 psi (20 bar)
- Accuracy: ±(0.025% of reading + 0.01% FS)
This accuracy level makes it suitable for verifying industrial pressure transmitters and process measurement devices.
Complete Pressure Transmitter Calibration Capability
The Fluke 3130-G2M is designed specifically for pressure transmitter calibration workflows.
It can:
- Generate test pressure
- Measure transmitter output
- Supply loop power
- Verify 4–20 mA signals
- Document calibration results
Built-in electrical measurement includes:
- 0–24 mA measurement
- 0–30 V DC measurement
- 24 V loop power supply
This allows technicians to test complete pressure transmitter loops without additional equipment.
Compatible with Fluke 700P Pressure Modules
When additional pressure ranges are required, the 3130-G2M can be expanded using Fluke 700P pressure modules.
This provides flexibility for applications requiring pressure ranges beyond the internal sensor capability.
Designed for Field Calibration
Industrial calibration often takes place in locations where portability is essential.
The 3130-G2M features:
- Rugged protective enclosure
- Internal storage for accessories
- Rechargeable NiMH battery
- Portable carrying design
Battery operation provides approximately:
- Up to 50 hours for measurement applications
- Up to 100 calibration cycles to 300 psi using the internal pump
Easy Pressure Adjustment and Control
Accurate pressure calibration requires fine pressure control.
The 3130-G2M includes:
- Fine pressure adjustment
- Integrated variable volume control
- Quick pressure stabilization
This helps technicians achieve precise calibration points during transmitter verification.
