How often should you calibrate?
The question isn’t whether to calibrate, it’s how often to? There is no “one size fits all” answer. In most cases the requirements vary depending on application, QA requirements, industry standards, performance, or safety regulations. Calibration is often the key to negating a recall, out-of-tolerance condition, or potential safety concern.
There are a few possible points to consider when reviewing calibration frequencies to help you decide what is best for your...

Technician using the Fluke 3130 calibrator to perform an equipment verification or intermediate check per ISO 17025
Intermediate Checks per ISO 17025 (aka “equipment verifications”) are an often-overlooked, but vitally important part of maintaining accurate measurements for manufacturers. This process can catch errors in your sensors and measurement devices before they become serious problems. An increasing number of companies are starting to catch on to the importance of performing...

The 8270A and 8370A Modular High-Pressure Controllers provide the widest pressure calibration workload coverage in an automated pressure controller. The 8270A and 8370A are often purchased to replace a traditional deadweight tester or pressure comparator, and they most often appeal to experts who want a flexible system with the capability for expansion and automation.
There are several questions frequently asked by calibration experts who are considering an upgrade. This overview will quickly...

Customers often request the most accurate piece of equipment available, but the most accurate product is not always the best solution for their needs. If you are planning to purchase a new pressure controller for production, there are several areas that you should consider before determining which piece of equipment is right for your use case.
When purchasing a pressure controller, it’s important to consider your accuracy and pressure needs, the product’s environment, expected uptime,...

Two of the most common reasons to upgrade to an 8270A or 8370A Modular High-Pressure Controller are the desire to increase throughput efficiency and the need to increase accuracy or pressure range capabilities. Often, metrologists are also looking for scalable technology and instruments that can be automated.
Technology Behind Pressure Coverage
The technology in Fluke Calibration modular pressure calibrators that enables wide pressure coverage is driven by the variety of the pressure...

There are several reasons why someone might upgrade to a modular pressure control system for their existing standards. The most common are: ease of use, flexibility, and the ability to use high-pressure gas.
Fluke Calibration offers the 8270A and 8370A Modular High-Pressure Controllers as modern replacements for hydraulic deadweight testers and comparators. The 8270A and 8370A are automated pneumatic pressure controllers that can be configured with up to five measurement modules at the same...

Fluke Calibration’s two newest bench multimeters, the 8588A Reference Multimeter and 8558A 8.5-Digit Multimeter, aren’t just improved versions of their predecessor, the 8508A Reference Multimeter. Yes, the two new long-scale DMMs are faster and more accurate than the 8508A. But they are more than that, and I’d like to share a few of the new features that you might be surprised – and, I hope, delighted -- to see.
1. Digitizing, with emulation
I recently met with a customer for a demo...

When I show calibration professionals the capabilities of our newest long-scale digital multimeter, the thing they’re most excited about is how much it can do in one box. The new 8588A Reference Multimeter takes everything that the 8508A can do and improves upon it, while adding capabilities that were not available before.
“What’s going to most interest many people is the 8588A’s ability to digitize”
