Abstract
A pressure generator for testing and calibrating pressure transducers has a body with an internal chamber. The chamber is filled with a liquid, statically pressurized. A piston is mounted in the chamber on a suspension member. A coil, mounted to move with the piston, is arranged in a magnetic field. The coil is supplied with varying current to cause the piston to oscillate or dither in the chamber. Such oscillation creates a dynamic pressure which is superimposed on the static pressure. Openings are provided in the body to receive the sensing end of one or more pressure transducers.
