This seems like a good video to show you how NOT to calibrate a Sitemaster. There are two problems with this video. Firstly, and most importantly, the connectors are rotated. Instead the nut on the N connector should be rotated, and the connectors not rotated, to reduce wear. Secondly, for best accuracy, a torque wrench should be used. Why do you think a torque wrench is supplied with all high-end calibration kits. The Agilent 85054D "economy" N cal kit includes a torque wrench, as does the more expensive 85054B. You can reasonably argue for use in a field, a torque wrench is unnecessary and hand tight is good enough, but for best accuracy a torque wrench should be used. A pretty unimformative and useless video IMHO. Dave
Looks like she does rotates a little the load. Have you see differences in tighting an N type cal. kit by hand hard that by a torque? I have no torque but tried different pressures with the hand and after a point I see no difference.
hi i still have this CAL TURNED OFF DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE..can you help fix this..
