Measurements require precision, and precision requires proper calibration. However, when calibrating how do we know what a precise unit of measurement actually is? That’s all thanks to metrology.In this article, we’ll discuss what metrology is, why it’s important, which sectors and industries rely on metrology, and more.What Is Metrology?Metrology is the science of measurement. It’s what establishes the standard measurements used not only in important scientific research but in every facet...

Electrical measurement is the backbone of technology. By measuring electrical currents, we can learn different things about the function and performance of machinery, digital technology, and more. Electricity runs our society, and being able to measure and quantify is as important now as ever. In this article, we’ll explain what exactly electrical measurement is, its common units of measurement, and what kind of tools are utilized in that measurement.What Are Electrical Measurements?Electrical...

Every process technician knows that the most difficult part about doing calibration in the field is getting all the hoses connected properly. Using the thread seal tape to seal up all the connections and having to take the time to reseal every time you perform calibrations. Not only is that time-consuming, but it could also lead to leak issues that throw off your measurements.In this video we're going to look at the best practices for doing a pressure calibration and what accessories, like fittings...

By Brian HarrisonAccording to a Fluke 2019 survey, roughly 50 percent of maintenance and reliability professionals were actively planning Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives.This survey preceded the challenges brought about by COVID-19. At the time, more than half of the teams interviewed found the IIoT process to be more complicated than anticipated because of an essential prerequisite—collaboration with other teams and departments. Despite the business disruption caused by the pandemic,...

Anyone who works with electrical or electromechanical equipment knows that safety is important. But defining specifically how to achieve a safe work environment requires a broader perspective. There are all kinds of rules and standards governing best practices in the workplace that professionals must learn and follow. And there are standards for the tools used by those professionals to do their job. But when it comes right down to it, where does the buck stop when it comes to safety?To heat the newest...

There are three common methods for calibrating temperature sensors:Calibrating just the electronics with a simulatorCalibrating both the electronics and the sensor in a dry-wellCalibrating both the electronics and the sensor in a dry-well with a reference thermometerHere is a quick look at these methods and the pros and cons of each.Calibrating just the electronics with a simulatorTo calibrate the electronics of a temperature measurement/control system, a temperature simulator takes an input temperature...

Anyone who has been in the calibration business for as long as we have knows that experience is priceless. Time has a way of teaching you what works and what doesn’t. When things are working right, the cal lab may not be a very exciting place, but it does mean you did your job. So, here are a few tips and tricks you can use to keep things up and running:The truth about calibrating temperature sensorsCalibration baths usually deliver the best resultsBoost productivity with multiple calibration bathsProtect...
