Engineers and technicians across industries require precise and reliable measurement tools to ensure the pressure readings from their instruments are accurate. One of the most popular tools for high accuracy pressure calibration is the piston gauge. They are useful when measuring the pressure of gases and liquids in a closed system. They can be used to calibrate pressure sensors, pressure transducers, and a wide variety of other pressure-measuring instruments.
What is a piston gauge?

The 5500A Series Multi-Product Calibrator is a true workhorse in a calibration lab. Able to handle a wide range of measurement industries used in various industries. However, calibration labs must be ready to adjust to meet the needs of their customers. Industries, like the semiconductor industry, are evolving quickly, and labs need to improve their calibration offerings in order to stay ahead of competition.
Taking the capabilities of a 5560A, 5550A, or 5540A Multi-Product Calibrator and...

Accurate temperature measurement is essential to ensure that products are of consistent quality, and that equipment is working correctly. Which, as we know, means temperature calibration is essential in many industries around the world. Using the new thermocouple connector on the Fluke Calibration 55X0A Multi-Product Calibrator can help you work through your calibration workload that much more efficiently.
Why use a multi-product calibrator and thermocouple connector for temperature...

When it comes to mobile calibration services, Murphy’s Law tends to be in full effect: what can go wrong will go wrong.
“During my time as a mobile calibration technician, I cannot recall a specific instance where the asset list communicated by the customer was entirely accurate. The list mirrored the plan a little bit, but there's always a couple of extras that were hiding in somebody's toolbox, unexpected repairs, or some equipment was lost. So, you really must be prepared for anything.” –...

We all know properly calibrated equipment and regular calibrations keep many industries up and running. Precise and accurate measurements are crucial to the success of any manufacturing and production processes. However, not every piece of equipment can be sent into a calibration lab regularly. That’s where building a mobile calibration lab, a lab on wheels, can help you get more customers and keep more assets calibrated.

On the 5560A, 5550A, and 5540A Multi-Product Calibrators, the output terminals light up to guide users through the connections needed for the specific calibration you want to complete. The lights will turn on to indicate which output terminals are active based on the menu items selected to work on.
Click the calibration type buttons to see Visual Management™️ in action. This virtual demo shows how the terminals light up for different calibration types.

Manufacturing processes require hundreds of incredibly precise devices to keep operations running smoothly, and reliably. To keep these devices running ceaselessly and to specifications, they must be regularly inspected, repaired, and calibrated. Whether the timing, flow, temperature, or pressure requires calibration, these instruments are usually sent out to a calibration lab, or a calibration engineer is brought into the plant.
To keep your plant up and running as much as possible, here are...

The newest multi-product calibrators from Fluke Calibration, the 5560A, 5550A, and 5540A Multi-Product Calibrators make it easy to calibrate a wide range of different tools. However, the top 5 most often run calibration tests are:
Calibrating AC current
Calibrating DC voltage
Calibrating resistance
Calibrating using a thermocouple connector
Calibrating a clamp meter
Multimeter calibration
The multimeter calibrator process is one of the most common ways to use a multi-product calibrator;...

MET/CAL™ Calibration Management Software is built to automate the calibration of a wide range of electrical test equipment. The software walks you through the process you need to take to run a test and takes you step-by-step through the procedure. You can also use MET/CAL to guide you through a manual test. This video demonstrates what MET/CAL can do using a 5520A High Performance Multi-Product Calibrator to manually calibrate a Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter.
Manual calibration...

When we talk about electrical safety, we’re usually talking about the tools, sensors, and assets that fill a facility: the tools and assets that you’re calibrating to keep accurate, precise, and safe. But that focus on safety also extends to the calibrators and tools you use in the lab or field to complete calibration work.
Calibration takes safety seriously. Every one of our tools undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it complies with regulatory safety standards, typically written by The...
