Why calibration is important and what tools are available?

Pyrosales supplies a variety of tools and instruments to assist with the proper functioning of your process equipment. Controlling the temperature in a process can result in a dramatic increase in efficiency, but not if the sensors or equipment are measuring incorrectly. To realise these efficiencies, you may need to calibrate the equipment. Pyrosales offer an industrial calibration service aimed primarily at RTD and thermocouple sensors and can provide NATA certified equipment. 

In general, regardless of the measuring device, you are using, calibration is crucial for ensuring specific and accurate measurements. Calibration defines the quality of your measurements used by devices because over time results can change slightly as the age of the device is affected by a variety of environmental factors.

To uphold a high level of confidence, you need to have an ongoing process of regular maintenance and calibration for your equipment and devices. Otherwise, you risk slight (or eventually significant) fluctuations in the accuracy of the data being collected, which can have extensive practical implications that you want to actively avoid.

What calibration tools to use in house?

If you are intending on conducting calibration in-house, we choose to supply Nagman products as they are the leaders in calibration instrumentation. Pressure calibrators are available in various types including pneumatic, hydraulic, and dual pressure testers. These include models that can calibrate low to high pressure needs. See below for an overview of the pressure calibration devices available from Pyrosales.

Pneumatic Pressure Calibrators: These are used to calibrate pressure gauges, transmitters as well as transducers.
