The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid flow or
volume measurement, and particularly relates to a main-standard volume calibration device and a main-standard volume calibration method based on positive and negative strokes of a
commutator. A water pump is arranged in a
water storage container and is connected with a filter. The filter is connected with a
voltage-stabilized container, the
voltage-stabilized container is connected with a hand valve, the hand valve is connected with a two-position four-way reversing electrically-operated valve, and the two-position four-way reversing electrically-operated valve is connected with a volume tube. A volume tube
piston is positioned in the volume tube. A controller is connected with a photoelectric switch A, a photoelectric switch B and a photoelectric switch C. A light shielding plate is connected with a
piston rod of the volume tube
piston. The controller is connected with a positive-negative switch, and the positive-negative switch is connected with a two-position three-way reversing
electromagnetic valve. The two-position four-way reversing electrically-operated valve is connected with the two-position three-way reversing
electromagnetic valve. A weighing container is put on an electric scale and is arranged in a right access of the three-way reversing
electromagnetic valve, and a recycling container is arranged in a left access of the three-way reversing electromagnetic valve. During reverse testing, positions of the weighing container and the recycling container are exchanged.
