| Mode | Range | Uncertainty(k = 2) |
| Differential pressure | 100 Pa – 1 MPa | 1 Pa + 5∙10-5∙p |
(under static pressures up to 20 MPa)
(p is the value of the generated pressure in pascals)
The basis of the standard is a pressure divider, i.e. a set of three coaxial pistons. The spaces below and above the middle piston are filled with gas at the required static pressure. The lower one is connected to a piston pressure gauge operating with an oil medium, which generates a pressure that is divided by the ratio of the effective areas of the divider pistons. Since the effective area of the middle piston is nominally 101 times larger than that of the upper and lower pistons, the ratio of the hydraulic and differential pressures (division ratio) is nominally equal to 100.
The differential pressure generated by the national standard is calculated according to the definition equation:
