Major investment in a multi-function flow test rig and extended pressure and temperature testing adds to capabilities.
Hydrotechnik has unveiled a continued investment in its recalibration department. The addition of an oil-based flow test rig enables Hydrotechnik to offer full in-house flow meter recalibrations traceable to National Standards for oils from 10 to 100cst and flow rates from 0.05L/min up to 700L/min. The flow rig has two master flow meters giving a maximum uncertainty of Å}0.5%. Oil flow calibrations traceable to DKD (German) national standards and full DAkkS ISO17025 on request. In addition, Hydrotechnik UK offers water flow calibrations from 0.05 L/min to 2000 L/min traceable to national standard or full UKAS ISO17025 on request. .
Hydrotechnik has created a dedicated in-house laboratory room which caters for flow, pressure, temperature and electrical sensors; all outputs from mA to ohms, plus instrumentation recalibrations and repairs. Pressure capability is from -1 to 2,800 bar and temperature from -55 to +250ÅãC, all traceable to UKAS standards.
Why is recalibration so important?
Recalibration is an important yearly procedure as it ensures that any given sensor is giving reliable, safe and trustworthy results traceable to known National Standards.
How often should I calibrate?
There is no universal rule that dictates how often an instrument or sensor should be calibrated. However, most companies’ ISO standards dictate that sensors and instrumentation should be tested and recalibrated every 12 months.
What Hydrotechnik UK can offer
Hydrotechnik UK has invested in a range of UKAS traceable calibration equipment. From our temperature-controlled flow meter testing rig, two dead weight pressure testers and state of the art temperature bath, this equipment enables Hydrotechnik UK to accurately calibrate flow meters, pressure, temperature, analogue and digital gauges, displays and data loggers to national, UKAS and DKD standards. In addition, Hydrotechnik can offer instrumentation repairs and functionality checks.
All recalibrations are traceable to UKAS management ISO system, full UKAS IOS17025 is available on request.
