Dead Weight Gaugecalibration

1. A dead weight calibrator setup was used to calibrate a pressure gauge. 2. Various weights were added to the calibrator to increase the pressure in a cylinder and the corresponding gauge readings were recorded. 3. Graphs show the absolute gauge error and percentage gauge error decreased with increasing gauge reading, indicating higher accuracy at higher pressures.
