Choosing a pressure calibrator for process work comes down to one tension: how much range do you need, and what condition can you accept? These four calibrators cover a $200 to $1,200 price spread, with a working Fluke handheld, a pre-owned Crystal Engineering unit, a TECHTONGDA hydraulic pump, and an Ametek Jofra repair candidate at the lower end. Your first move is deciding whether you need a ready-to-use instrument or a lower-price troubleshooting project.
Quick take
- Ready-to-use handheld: Fluke 718 300G, described as working perfectly with slight signs of use and a hard case plus fittings.
- Broad pressure span: Crystal Engineering 30 Series.
- Hydraulic pump-style calibrator for gauge testing: TECHTONGDA Industrial Pressure Calibrator Pump.
- Repair-project candidate: T203629 Ametek Jofra HPC600.

Decision matrix
- Fluke 718 300G - choose when you want a handheld calibrator described as ready to use and your pressure checks stay in a moderate range.
- Crystal Engineering 30 Series - choose when you need one box with a broad pressure span.
- TECHTONGDA Industrial Pressure Calibrator Pump - choose when you want equipment for hydraulic gauge and transmitter testing in a lab or factory setting.
- Ametek Jofra HPC600 - choose when you're prepared to troubleshoot and the entry cost matters more than immediate readiness.
Product notes
Crystal Engineering 30 Series Pressure Calibrator
Range is the reason to look at the Crystal Engineering 30 Series. This used calibrator is priced at $860 and covers 36 PSI to 3000 PSI, so it can handle low-pressure checks and much higher pressure work with the same unit. It is made in the United States and carries MPN IS33-36. The used condition is the trade-off; a secondhand calibrator deserves the same pre-use inspection you would give any older instrument. If your process pressures approach 3000 PSI, this is the only listed model with a top end that high. For a technician who needs broad coverage in one box, the broad range makes this a strong candidate.
Industrial Pressure Calibrator Pump Hydraulic Pressure Gauge Testing Calibrator
The TECHTONGDA Industrial Pressure Calibrator Pump is priced at $450.26 and is the only new unit in the set. It is built for hydraulic gauge testing rather than handheld field work, with a pressure range of 0-6 MPa. It is positioned for laboratories, factories, colleges, and universities, and its open and transparent structure is meant to make maintenance convenient. Because it is a pump-style unit, it suits bench work where you connect a gauge or transmitter and bring it to pressure. If you need a battery-powered portable calibrator, this is a different style of tool. It offers a new-condition alternative between the parts-only Ametek and the other instruments in the group.
Fluke 718 300G Pressure Calibrator
Fluke 718 300G carries the highest price in this group at $1,200. The unit is described as working perfectly, with no owner markings, slight signs of use, and it includes a Fluke hard case plus various fittings. That gives it a ready-to-use handheld profile. The limitation is range: 300 PSI covers low-to-moderate pressure work, but it stops well before the top end of the Crystal Engineering unit. If you want a working handheld in the 300 PSI neighborhood, this is the one to start with.
Ametek Jofra HPC600 Handheld Pressure Calibrator
At $200, the Ametek Jofra HPC600 is the lowest-priced option in the group. Its condition is categorized as for parts or not working, and the unit shows scuffs, scratches, signs of previous battery leakage, and a scrambled screen when powered on. It does include test leads, connectors, and a carrying case, so it may still be a useful donor unit or repair project if you are willing to troubleshoot. This is not a ready-to-run calibrator, so you are paying for the hardware and case rather than immediate measurement function. If you want to work through a repair, the low entry point keeps the risk limited.
Final call by use case
- Ready-to-use handheld for moderate pressure checks: Fluke 718 300G.
- Wide pressure span in one calibrator: Crystal Engineering 30 Series.
- Hydraulic pump-style tester for bench gauge work: TECHTONGDA Industrial Pressure Calibrator Pump.
- Repair project or parts candidate: Ametek Jofra HPC600.
