Fluke 718 Pressure Calibrator
The complete solution to pressure calibration
The Fluke 718 pressure calibrator family (4 models)
provide a total pressure calibration solution for
transmitters, gauges and switches. This compact
size of comparable instruments and weighs just one
kilogram (two pounds). The unique, easy to clean
out access ports built into the pump protect the
pump from fl uids and provides the ability to service
the pump without disassembly.
•
Pressure Source and Milliamp Measurement to
calibrate and maintain almost any pressure device
•
Integrated pump is easily cleaned when
accidentally exposed to fl uids:
– reduces cost of ownership and repairs
– service the pump in the fi eld
•
Error % calculation for quicker pass/fail decision
making in the fi eld
•
Best in class mA accuracy of 0.015 % for better
measurement confi dence and workload coverage
•
Min/Max/Hold to capture changing measurements
•
Switch test feature for quicker and more accurate
pressure switch testing
•
New 1 and 300 PSI pressure ranges mean fewer
extra tools required
•
1, 30, 100 & 300 PSI ranges now available

The New 718 Calibrator Pump
The new Fluke 718 is a uniquely protected pneu-
matic pressure calibrator and pump. The new pump
design uses protective check valves that allow air to
pass through the pump for calibration but inhibits
fl uids from entering the pump and causing damage.
These two check valves allow the bi-directional
fl ow of air into or out of the 718. Even after drain-
ing the process fl uid from the calibration port of the
device under test, minute amounts of process fl uids
may often still be lurking behind. In the event these
fl uids enter the 718 pump cavities, the new pump
design enables quick cleaning and maintenance,
even in the fi eld.
Pump valve assembly cleaning instructions
1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the two valve
retention caps located in the oval shaped opening
on the underside of the Calibrator.
2. After the caps have been removed, gently remove
the spring and o-ring assembly.
3. Set aside the valve assemblies in a safe area
and clean out the valve body using a cotton swab
soaked in IPA (isopropyl alcohol).
4. Repeat this process several times using a new
cotton swab each time until there is no remaining
sign of residue.
5. Pump the unit several times and check again for
residue.
6. Clean the o-ring assembly and o-ring on the
retention caps with IPA and inspect the o-rings
closely for any cuts, nicks, or wear. Replace if
needed.
7. Inspect the springs for wear or loss of tension.
They should be approximately 8.6 mm long in the
relaxed state. If
they are shorter
than this, they
may not allow
the o-ring to
seat properly.
Replace if
needed.
8. Once all
parts have
been cleaned
and inspected,
reinstall the o-
ring and spring
assemblies into
the valve body.
9. Reinstall the
retention caps
and gently
tighten the cap.
10. Seal the output of the Calibrator and pump up
the unit to at least 50 % its rated pressure.
11. Release the pressure and repeat several times to
ensure that the o-rings seat properly.
The Calibrator is now ready for use.
Cleaning the fl uid trap in the Fluke-718
Calibrator is quick, easy and only requires a
slotted screwdriver and cotton swab
