For the calibration of a control valve a loop calibrator or a pressure calibrator can be used between 3-15psi.Check the valve position for 3psi which is to be 0 for a NC type valves.In such manner check the valve position for various ranges(6psi,9psi,12psi & 15psi).the valve position should be 0 for 3psi and 50% for 9 psi and completely opened for15psi.
