10.10 Head Pressure
The Head Pressure Application provides an automated way to calculate the head pressure
offset between a device being tested and the CPC6050 transducer, based on:
• Media: pneumatic
• Height: the difference between the device under test and the transducers in the CPC6050
(Difference = CPC6050-DUT)
• Gas Density: the density of the pressure media
• Gas Temperature
• Local Gravity
The Head Pressure application is placed under the password protected area of the operator interface to
safeguard against inadvertent activation. It is intended to be used to accurately measure the pressure at
an external source that is at a different elevation from the CPC6050 transducer sensing that pressure.
The four parameters are used to calculate the pressure that is a result of the different elevations. It should
not be used when calibrating CPC6050 transducers. The Head height should be set at zero before cali-
brating the transducers of the CPC6050.

Notice
The Head Pressure should not be active when calibrating CPC6050 transducers.
The Head height should be set at zero before calibrating the transducers of the
CPC6050. Difference in height between the laboratory standard and the CPC6050
during calibration should be factored into the uncertainty analysis.
Figure 10.10-A shows the Head Pressure pneumatic screen. The height, media density (Nitrogen or dry
air), media temperature and local gravity can be entered here based on the specific setup of the system.
