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...

Power monitoring must be precise. Inaccurate power measurements can mean unfairly overcharging a customer or undercharging a utility, resulting in lost revenue. The instruments that keep track of power usage need to be accurate to properly monitor transformers or other power measuring devices. Ensuring that accuracy is there during the manufacturing process, especially for high current and high voltage products, is where the Fluke Calibration 52120A Transconductance Amplifier comes in.

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...

A rotameter, also called variable area flowmeter, is inherently a volumetric flow measurement device. The word origin is rota(tion) + messer/measure/meter. The scale can be in mass flow units if the volume flow rate is multiplied by a specified density, and in dimension units (mm) or percent.
An indicator floats at a steady value when the forces on it are equal. The main forces are the weight of the float (downward) and the drag force of the fluid (upward). Other forces are the difference in...

One of the most frequently asked questions I hear from customers is “what is the best type of calibration standard for analog pressure gauge calibration or digital pressure gauge calibration?” My initial answer is always the same…”it depends.”
The only way to fully answer that question is to dig deeper into the details of your specific workload. There are a lot of variables that effect the pressure calibration standard you choose. The following is a list of key questions that can guide you to...
