Pressure Measurement as per DKD R6-01

Learn Pressure Units, Gauges, Sensors, Calibration Steps, and DKD R6-01 Standard Requirements.

This course teaches the fundamentals of pressure measurement and the DKD R6-01 standard used for calibration laboratories and industrial pressure systems. You begin with the basics of pressure, its units, why pressure measurement is important, and how different types of pressure gauges are designed and manufactured.

You will learn how pressure is measured, how sensors and transmitters work, and how to choose the right pressure range, connectors, and electrical output signals. The course explains the complete calibration steps in a simple and practical way so you understand how pressure instruments are verified for accuracy.

You will also study the DKD R6-01 standard, including calibration capability requirements, environmental conditions, ambient effects, and good practices for achieving traceable pressure measurements.
