# How to Calibrate a Pressure Switch

[Home](https://www.beamex.com/) » [Videos](https://www.beamex.com/videos/) » How to calibrate a pressure switch

In this short video Roy and Ned present some interesting statistical facts and show you how to calibrate a pressure switch with the push of one button, using the [Beamex MC6](https://www.beamex.com/us/calibrators/beamex-mc6/) calibrator.

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.

Roy Tomalino is a calibration expert with several years of experience with Beamex products. Roy has been teaching calibration management for 13 years and is currently working as a professional services engineer at Beamex US, where he conducts educational training sessions and provides technical support for Beamex customers. In Roy’s Calibration Academy you get to know more about process calibration.
