Fluke 2470 User Manual

3-2 

All masses of the Mass Set as supplied with this gauge are made of non-magnetic, 

austenitic (series 300) stainless steel (1). They are machined from rolled stock or forgings, 

and the removal of any metal is performed in such a way as to maintain balance about the 

centerline. Final mass adjustment is usually accomplished by drilling a symmetrical 

pattern of holes concentric with the axis. 

The Gauge base incorporates simple, sturdy construction and is equipped with three 

adjustable feet.   
1.  Mass carrier composite construction 300 Series, Non-magnetic, Austenitic, Stainless 

Steel and other non-magnetic material. 
The base has an integral thermowell to accommodate a glass thermometer, or 

precision temperature probe (Platinum Resistance Thermometer). The thermowell 

allows for accurate temperature measurement of the test media and Piston/Cylinder. 
The base features pre-drilled holes to facilitate installation of inductive Float Position 

sensors (RUSKA Model 2456 Piston Gauge Monitor or equal).  
The most exciting feature of the base is the “Split-Column” design. This design 

allows for piston cylinders of different configuration to be mounted on the same base 

and operated with the same mass set. The Split Column allows for the operation of 

the base with the standard 2470 Piston/Cylinder as shown in Figure 3-1 and with the 

2468 Low-Range or the 2468 Mid-Range Piston/Cylinders as shown in Figure 3-2.
