What is transmitter calibration?
As with all electronic equipment, transmitters can lose accuracy over time leading to incorrect readings that can throw off procedures down the line resulting in waste or poor quality. Calibrating equipment like pressure transmitters brings the measurement readings back in line with standards using a known value to align with.
In this article you’ll learn the benefits of conducting pressure transmitter calibration at the bench vs the field, get an overview of...

MET/SUPPORT Gold calibration procedures are moving to an all-new platform, called Cubyt. Cubyt currently hosts 410,000 device profiles, 320,000 OEM specifications, and 250,000 CAL-SHEETS, making it the world’s largest metrology database.
Cubyt continues to see 30,000 additional devices added each month. Eventually, this platform will be the one source of truth for all metrology and calibration data across the world.

With calibration management software
One of almost every laboratory’s performance metrics is tracking calibration throughput–how many assets can each individual calibrate throughout the day. The more assets properly calibrated during the workday, the more work a calibration lab can take on without needing to hire more individuals. By adding automation to your calibration laboratory with software, you’ll be able to see a notable increase in calibration throughput–up to 200%.
Adding automation...

Nitinol is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium with unique properties, including superelasticity and shape memory. It can be folded up in order to be inserted into the body, then return to its original cast shape and size when in place.
Fluke salt baths help ensure consistent and repeatable processes for medical device manufacturing and Nitinol forming by providing stability and uniformity specifications that are up to 10x that of a typical heat-treating bath.
Precise heating and quenching...

You’ve got the approval and the budget to purchase a new pressure calibration system. Now how do you find the perfect solution? Asking yourself these six questions is a great way to get started. You'll want to examine your workload, the location of the calibration, pressure generation and control, and automation among other factors.
Choosing a pressure calibration system: questions to ask
1. What is the accuracy or uncertainty of the device to be tested?
Once you...

In aerospace applications, pressure transducers and switches play critical roles in monitoring many systems throughout the aircraft—from hydraulics and electromechanical systems to avionics. Braking, propulsion, wing flap control, cabin pressure and countless other functions rely on pressure transducers and switches to ensure that the process is happening correctly. Accuracy is critical.
Because these devices are constantly subjected to extreme vibration, frequent ambient temperature changes...
