Fluke 719 Electric Pressure Calibrator
The Fluke 719 is an electric pressure calibrator designed to simplify pressure calibration in process instrumentation applications. Unlike conventional hand-pump calibrators, its integrated electric pump allows technicians to generate test pressure with one hand, reducing manual effort and making repeated calibration tasks more efficient.
Built-In Electric Pump for One-Handed Calibration
The integrated electric pump is one of the main advantages of the Fluke 719. Users can generate pressure directly from the instrument without carrying a separate manual pressure pump.
The programmable pump limit can also be set to a target pressure, helping prevent accidental over-pressurization during transmitter and switch testing. A variable-rate bleed valve provides controlled pressure release and adjustment.
High-Accuracy Pressure Measurement
The Fluke 719 provides 0.025% of range accuracy for six months, with 0.035% of range accuracy for one year.
Two pressure models are available:
Fluke 719 30G: -12 to 30 psi / -850 mbar to 2.4 bar
Fluke 719 100G: -12 to 100 psi / -850 mbar to 8 bar
30G resolution: 0.001 psi / 0.1 mbar
100G resolution: 0.01 psi / 1 mbar
Pressure accuracy: 0.025% of range for 6 months
Long-term accuracy: 0.035% of range for 1 year
Integrated mA Testing and 24 V Loop Power
The Fluke 719 is not limited to pressure measurement. It can also measure and source 0–24 mA signals, allowing technicians to test the electrical output of pressure transmitters and troubleshoot process loops.
Key electrical functions include:
0–24 mA measurement/source
0.001 mA resolution
0.015% reading + 2 counts accuracy
Up to 1000 Ω load
750 Ω maximum load in HART mode
24 V DC loop supply
mA simulation for 4–20 mA loop troubleshooting
Pressure Transmitter and Pressure Switch Calibration
The Fluke 719 is particularly suitable for calibration and troubleshooting of:
Pressure transmitters
Differential pressure transmitters
Pressure switches
I/P converters
Valve positioners
4–20 mA pressure loops
Process control instrumentation
Its pressure switch test function makes it possible to determine switch activation and reset points during maintenance and calibration.
Extended Pressure Measurement
For applications requiring pressure ranges beyond the internal sensor, the Fluke 719 supports Fluke 750P series pressure modules, providing an extended measurement solution while keeping the calibrator compact and portable. Fluke states that the 719 can be used with 750P modules across a broad range of pressure applications.
Pump Protection and Field Reliability
The 719 incorporates a pump cleanout port designed to reduce failures caused by moisture and process fluid contamination. The pump is rated for approximately 5,000 cycles between rebuilds and 20,000 calibration cycles total according to Fluke's current specifications.

Fluke 719 vs Fluke 719Pro
The two models are related but intended for different levels of calibration work.
Fluke 719: compact electric pressure calibrator with 30 psi and 100 psi models.
Fluke 719Pro: higher-performance electric pressure calibrator with 30 psi, 150 psi and 300 psi ranges and additional temperature/measurement capabilities.
719: ideal for routine pressure transmitter, switch and I/P calibration.
719Pro: better suited to more demanding, higher-range and higher-precision process calibration applications.
For users who primarily need low-to-medium pressure calibration with an integrated electric pump, the Fluke 719 provides a simpler and more focused solution.
