Application

Calibrators are instruments used to measure the performance of a device to ensure that it is functioning properly.

Readouts for calibrating thermometers involve submerging a reference probe and probes under test into a liquid at a stable temperature. The temperature reading from the calibrated probe is then compared to the DUTs.

People in a calibration role help ensure measurements are high quality and accurate. Different titles, such as calibrators, instrumentation engineers, or control room analysts, are useful when describing the responsibilities of this job.

General Tip for Using a Calibrator

The process will be similar if the calibrator is being used as a source rather than a measuring device. You will connect the DUT to the calibrator and send a known quantity from the calibrator to the DUT (ex., 10 volts in an electrical calibrator or 100 degrees F in a temperature calibrator). Knowing how accurate the calibrator’s source signal is, you can observe how it appears on the DUT and calculate whether it is within specifications.

Available Categories

Humidity Calibrator

Humidity is a scientific unit of measure for the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity can be expressed as relative humidity or absolute humidity, which takes into consideration temperature. A humidex index is used to judge how hot an apparent temperature feels on weather reports on top of this.

Companies that produce drugs and medical devices rely on humidity probes to detect environmental conditions such as humidity. A humidity calibrator generates the perfect environment for companies to test their sensors, ensuring that they’re protected from harmful conditions such as moisture or contamination.

RF Calibrator

RF calibration can be challenging because of the number of different tests you need to complete in order to calibrate the workload. So, typically a system that incorporates multiple instruments will be required.

Electrical calibrator

The electrical calibrators are for measuring AC variables like time constant, capacitance, and inductance.

An electrical or electronic calibrator is a device that calibrates the various instruments used in an electronics trade. It can be used on any combination of voltage, current, resistance, inductance, capacitance, and time/frequency measurements.

Air Data Calibrators

Our air data calibrators ensure our calculations are accurate for your avionics systems.

Most gauges include some kind of display and keypad. They also have at least one connector that connects to your stream or production system, as well as a sensor for measuring the pressure. They might also offer software to help with calibration.

Portable Handheld Pressure Calibrator

This is the best way to measure pressure with excellent accuracy.

Portable, handheld pressure calibrators are smaller, so they’re often handy to use in industrial environments. They can also be used in place of a bench pressure calibrator, but they aren’t as accurate.

Pressure Comparator Calibrator

A pressure comparator provides precise, controlled pressure to both a reference gauge and the device being tested. A good way to test an accurate pressure comparator is by looking at its manufacturing specifications. Some basic specifications include the accuracy of the reference gauge’s measurements, the high and low limits of interest, high and low power consumption, startup voltage and current, the number of stages for generating pressure (i.e., either mechanical or pneumatic), and others.

Additionally, it should be checked whether the gauge is operating with an electrical or pneumatic power supply.

Dead weight tester

A deadweight tester is a machine used to test the pressure of a device. You measure the pressure by applying calibrated weights to the device under test and measuring its reaction.

Piston Gauge

A gauge is a device that measures an input for some sort of mathematical, chemical, or mechanical value. A piston gauge is also referred to as a pressure balance and a deadweight gauge – it records the force exerted on its capsule when it’s pressurized by gas. Workload (or things that can be calibrated) for this type of calibration instrument usually includes stuff like variations in column height.

Infrared Calibrator

An infrared calibrator also called an infrared black body, is used to calibrate devices such as infrared thermometers and thermal imagers. This device includes a flat black surface that emits and absorbs electromagnetic radiation focused on it from the target device. It also includes a display of the temperature measurement or other information such as emissivity setting and stability.

Dry-Block Calibrator

A dry-block calibrator is a device used to calibrate testing equipment that uses dry blocks.

A dry block calibrates temperature sensors in a liquid-free environment, which increases the accuracy of gauges. They’re also portable, which makes them great for field use.

Calibrating Bath

Baths have a large working volume for calibrating multiple sensors at once and maintaining a uniform, constant temperature. Baths are typically very stable, meaning they can remain at the same temperature without fluctuating.

Thermocouple Calibrator

Thermocouples are a type of sensor made up of two wires with different metals to measure temperature. Thermocouples are inexpensive and cover a large temperature range, so they are often used in the industrial world.
