How to use Visual Management™ connection terminals on the new Fluke multi-product calibrators
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. Prevent connection errors Taking away any...

6 ways to maximize instrumentation calibration success
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...

Manually calibrating a Digital Multimeter using MET/CAL procedures
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...

Safety standards and 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...

How to remove additional errors when calibrating resistance
Getting the most accurate resistance measurement on a multimeter depends on how you connect your calibrator to your multimeter as well as what kind of multimeter you’re working with. Learn the four different connection methods and the tool settings to measure and test resistance on a digital handheld multimeter, a bench multimeter, and a systems multimeter. Whether you connect one set of test leads or two and how the setup is done, you can compensate for additional resistance on your leads and...

How to calibrate a pressure transmitter at the bench
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...

How to double productivity in a calibration laboratory
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...
