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.

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”

This is a story about how a community comes together to save a lake. Lone Lake is a 90.3 acre lake on the south end of Whidbey Island, Washington. Popular with boaters, swimmers and trout fisherman and ringed by homes, in 1996-2003 it was invaded by waterweeds that reduced access and interfered with the fish. Residents and local environmental organizations tried to fix the problem by alternately applying herbicides to kill the plants and stocking grass carp to eat them.

Dry-block calibrators vs. temperature baths: (left) portable temperature bath, (middle) hand-held dry-block calibrator, (right) standard temperature bath
Temperature sensors are typically calibrated by placing them in a stable temperature source and comparing their output to the output of a calibrated reference. Two common sources are dry-block calibrators and temperature baths, but which is right for you? Let’s start our dry-block calibrator vs. temperature bath analysis by defining each....
