The PGL pump allows you to easily and efficiently generate the pressure you need. Use this pump with the MC6 for maximum efficiency. The PGL is a hand-operated pressure table pump for low pressure using air as its pressure media. The pump is equipped with an isothermal bellows chamber for reducing possible environmental temperature changes during the calibration process. With the screw operated volume control and fine adjustment an extremely accurate and stable pressure adjustment is provided. [Beamex MC6](https://www.beamex.com/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) is an advanced, high-accuracy field calibrator and communicator. It offers calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature and various electrical signals. The MC6 also contains a full fieldbus communicator for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Profibus PA instruments. Michael Frackowiak is a calibration expert with years of experience with Beamex products, initially as a hands-on calibration technician, today as a Calibration Consultant at Beamex UK. Below you can find nine videos where Mike shows, in a hands on manner, the best practices for advanced process instrument calibration.
