Accurate Fever Scanning with Infrared Forehead Thermometers: Issues, Solutions and How to Calibrate
Technicians calibrating an infrared thermometer temperature gun Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of interest in measuring human body temperature. I’m sure you’ve seen articles or you had your own temperature measured as you entered a public place like a store or medical building. Most of the interest in measuring human body temperature is in the area of non-contact or infrared (IR) temperature measurement. Infrared measurements are ideal for this fever screening because making...

Comparing the Fluke 5700A, 5720A & 5730A Multifunction Calibrator
I am always happy when I talk to customers who have been using a 5720A or even a 5700A calibrator for years, and they tell me they really depend on it and are happy with its performance. But now when I see one of those older calibrators in a lab – especially if that lab is using it as their calibration standard that gives them their scope of accreditation – I have to recommend replacing those calibrators with a new 5730A. In this post I want to explain why I am recommending that and also why...

You Could Benefit from Pressure Calibration Automation Software More Than You Know – Here are Four Key Ways to Decide if it’s Right for Your Lab
Anyone performing pressure calibrations can benefit from automation. Whether you are using an automated pressure controller such as the 8270A or PPC4, or a fully manual deadweight tester, there is a lot you can gain, from time savings and increased process consistency, to adding value to your data and certification deliverables. In these times, when calibration technicians may be stretched thin, calibration lab managers should especially consider the value of automation to supplement the...
