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
pressure calibration solution is about a third of the
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 fluids and provides the ability to service
the pump without disassembly.

Integrated pump is easily cleaned when
accidentally exposed to fluids:
– reduces cost of ownership and repairs
– service the pump in the field
Error % calculation for quicker pass/fail decision
making in the field
Best in class mA accuracy of 0.015 % for better
measurement confidence 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

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
fluids from entering the pump and causing damage.
These two check valves allow the bi-directional
flow of air into or out of the 718. Even after drain-
ing the process fluid from the calibration port of the
device under test, minute amounts of process fluids
may often still be lurking behind. In the event these
fluids enter the 718 pump cavities, the new pump
design enables quick cleaning and maintenance,
even in the field.
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
Cleaning the fluid trap in the Fluke-718
Calibrator is quick, easy and only requires a
and gently
tighten the cap.
slotted screwdriver and cotton swab
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.
