4Sight2 – A Complete Calibration System

Druck 4Sight2 is the next generation calibration and asset management system that provides full visibility of all your assets, reference standards, and resources across your facility.
When combined with the PACE series controllers, 4Sight2 can be used for fully automated closed-loop calibrations or test routines that significantly enhance your processes.

4Sight2’s uniquely designed real-time calibration functionality communicates with PACE to reach calibration points as defined in the calibration procedure and intelligently captures readings to eliminate the need for manual input. This can be utilized across a wide range of applications, such as:

  • Calibration of pressure measurement instruments such as transmitters, transducers, switches, etc.
  • Highest accuracy calibration (automated) of pressure instruments, sensors, and third-party calibration devices.
  • End-of-line testing of pressure measurement devices.
  • Calibration using Druck’s best-in-class technologies like CM3 and PACE tools.

Additional benefits of 4Sight2 include:

  • Standardization of the calibration process across multiple users, departments, and locations.
  • Full visibility of your assets and test equipment.
  • Integration with portable pressure calibrators for on-site calibrations.

PACE5000E/6000E Options

Leak Test

The leak test applies a test pressure to an external system connected to the measuring device to determine the extent of pressure changes caused by leaks. In this application, the test pressure is defined along with a hold time to minimize possible adiabatic effects during the test. Upon completion, the display shows the start pressure, end pressure, pressure difference, and leak rate.

Burst Pressure Test

The burst pressure test is an application of the PACE series, primarily designed for testing burst discs. In this process, the pressure is increased in a controlled manner to precisely determine the point at which the test object fails or bursts.
