Overview
The York Instrument CPP30 Pneumatic Hand Pump is an engineered precision pressure generation tool designed for manual, portable, and repeatable calibration of pressure measurement devices in laboratory, workshop, and field environments. Operating on a dual-stage, manually actuated piston mechanism, the CPP30 delivers stable, controllable pneumatic pressure across a wide dynamic range—from vacuum conditions at –95 kPa (absolute) up to positive pressures of +3.5 MPa (35 bar). Its mechanical architecture eliminates dependency on external power sources or compressed air supplies, ensuring operational independence and intrinsic safety in hazardous or resource-constrained settings. The pump integrates a robust aluminum alloy housing with stainless steel pressure chambers and precision-machined sealing surfaces, supporting long-term dimensional stability and resistance to corrosion from ambient moisture and trace contaminants commonly encountered during industrial calibration workflows.
Key Features
- Dual-range manual operation: Separate low-pressure and high-pressure pumping stages enable fine control below 1 MPa and efficient pressurization up to 3.5 MPa without over-stroking or operator fatigue.
- G 1/2″ male mounting interface on the pump head for direct attachment of reference pressure standards—ensuring minimal dead volume and optimal metrological traceability.
- Integrated venting and relief valve with calibrated release threshold, enabling safe, stepwise depressurization and emergency pressure discharge in compliance with ISO 5725-2 and EN 837-1 safety guidelines.
- Ergonomic lever design with non-slip polymer grip and optimized mechanical advantage ratio (1:12), reducing required hand force by ~40% compared to legacy single-stage hand pumps.
- Modular connection system compatible with CT91.06 test kit components—including a 0.5 m stainless-steel-braided PTFE hose, G 1/4″ female-to-female coupler, and universal adapter set for DIN, NPT, and BSPP interfaces.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The CPP30 supports calibration of a broad spectrum of pressure-sensitive instruments, including analog and digital pressure gauges, electronic pressure transmitters (4–20 mA, 0–10 V outputs), differential pressure cells, and pneumatic controllers. It is routinely deployed in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration laboratories for verification against national metrology institute (NMI)-traceable reference standards. The pump’s pressure generation path complies with ASTM E74-21 requirements for force and pressure calibration equipment, and its materials meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. When used with certified reference instruments and documented procedures, the CPP30 facilitates GLP-compliant calibration records suitable for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails when paired with validated data acquisition software.
Software & Data Management
While the CPP30 operates as a standalone mechanical device, it is fully interoperable with York Instrument’s CalSoft Suite v4.2 and third-party calibration management platforms such as MET/CAL® and LabVIEW™ DAQ systems. Through optional USB- or Bluetooth-enabled digital pressure modules (e.g., York YPM-2000 series), real-time pressure values can be logged with timestamped metadata—including ambient temperature, operator ID, instrument serial number, and uncertainty budget parameters. All calibration sessions generate CSV- and PDF-formatted reports compliant with ISO 10012 and ILAC-G8:2022 reporting requirements, supporting automated archiving, version control, and electronic signature workflows.
Applications
- Primary and secondary calibration of industrial pressure sensors prior to installation in process skids, HVAC systems, and hydraulic test benches.
- Functional verification of safety-critical pressure switches and relief valves in pharmaceutical clean utilities and food-grade processing lines.
- On-site validation of pressure transmitters in oil & gas upstream metering stations where electrical isolation and ATEX Zone 2 compatibility are mandatory.
- Teaching and metrology training labs requiring hands-on demonstration of pressure generation principles, hysteresis evaluation, and zero-shift diagnostics.
- Pre-commissioning checks of pilot-scale bioreactors and sterile filtration assemblies under controlled negative-pressure conditions (down to –95 kPa).
FAQ
What is the maximum allowable working pressure for the CPP30’s test port?
The rated maximum pressure at the G 1/4″ test port is +3.5 MPa (35 bar) for pneumatic media only; use with hydraulic fluids requires consultation with York Instrument Technical Support.
Can the CPP30 be used for vacuum calibration down to –95 kPa?
Yes—the integrated vacuum stage achieves stable, leak-tight evacuation to –95 kPa (10 kPa abs) with typical stabilization time < 8 seconds after final stroke.
Is the CT91.06 test hose supplied with every CPP30 unit?
Yes—each CPP30 shipment includes one complete CT91.06 calibration kit: 0.5 m hose, G 1/4″ couplers, protective cap set, and calibration certificate traceable to PTB.
Does the CPP30 require periodic recalibration or maintenance?
The pump itself does not require recalibration; however, York Instrument recommends annual inspection of seals, spring tension, and lever pivot wear per Maintenance Manual Rev. 3.2 (2023).
Is the CPP30 compatible with intrinsically safe environments?
As a purely mechanical device with no electronics or ignition sources, the CPP30 meets IEC 60079-0 general requirements for non-incendive equipment and may be deployed in Zone 2/22 areas when used with certified accessories.
