Description

External pressure modules that extend a Beamex calibrator

The Beamex EXT range of external pressure modules adds pressure measurement to a Beamex documenting calibrator without changing the calibrator itself. A single MC calibrator can then cover vacuum, low differential pressure, process ranges and hydraulic ranges up to 1000 bar (14 500 psi) by plugging in the module that matches the instrument under test. Each module is a compact unit with protective rubber end caps that connects to the calibrator and is read as an additional pressure channel.

For hazardous-area work an intrinsically safe version, designated EXT-IS, is available for every module in the range. According to the Beamex brochure, EXT modules are compatible with the MC6, MC6-T, MC6 Workstation, MC5, MC4, MC2 and MC5P calibrators, and the EXT-IS versions with the MC6-Ex, MC5-IS and MC2-IS.

Choosing a module and what to confirm before ordering

Pick the module whose full scale is close to the range being calibrated, since accuracy is quoted as a percentage of full scale plus reading. Vacuum and compound work normally uses the C-type modules (EXT1C to EXT20C), while high-pressure hydraulic checks need the G1/4 in. modules with a pump such as the Beamex ePG. Confirm the calibrator model, whether an IS version is needed, the pressure unit set and the required calibration certificate. Related calibrators and pumps are listed under Portable Test and Measurement.

About brand

Calibration equipment and software are what Beamex makes. Founded in 1975 in Pietarsaari, Finland, the company supplies the field calibrators that instrument technicians carry to check transmitters, switches and temperature sensors. Seven Star LLC, an independent supplier in Oman, lists Beamex MC6, MC6-Ex, MC4 and MC2 calibrators, the MB metrology temperature block and the ePG electric pressure pump and controller.

Beamex calibrators and accessories listed here

The handheld calibrators differ mainly in scope:

MC6: advanced field calibrator and communicator, the current model
MC6-Ex: the intrinsically safe version for hazardous areas
MC4: documenting process calibrator, discontinued by Beamex in May 2023
MC2: hand-held process calibrator, discontinued in May 2023

For both retired models Beamex names the MC6 as the recommended replacement. Two items complete a calibration setup. The MB metrology temperature block is a dry block built in four models, MB140, MB155, MB425 and MB700, which together cover -45 to +700 °C. The ePG is a battery-operated electric pump and controller for about -0.85 to 20 bar, usable with any pressure calibrator.

Where Beamex calibrators are used

Any plant with a calibration program is a user: oil and gas facilities, power stations, water utilities, pharmaceutical and food plants across the GCC. A documenting calibrator stores the as-found and as-left results of each test, so they can be transferred to calibration software instead of being written down by hand. In classified areas the MC6-Ex, certified to ATEX and IECEx, is the model to ask for.

Ordering Beamex calibrators: what we need

A Beamex calibrator is configured to order. Tell us the model, the internal pressure module ranges, any external pressure modules, the communicator protocols you need (for example HART), and the accessories: pumps, hoses, cases and test leads. For the MB state the model or the temperature range. If you need accredited calibration certificates from the manufacturer, say so at the start because it is an order option.
