Difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure measurement
Michèle Beyer | Know-howAgain and again, we are asked the question about the difference between an absolute pressure measurement and a gauge pressure measurement. To answer this question it helps to look at the definition of gauge pressure and absolute pressure. The difference between the two …
Thermometer calibration – an overview
Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howNot all calibrations are the same. This is illustrated by the example of “Thermometer calibration” - which test method is used depends on various factors such as process conditions, quality standards and safety requirements. Depending on the method, the calibration …
Five points you should know about software validation
Christian Elbert | Know-howValidation of calibration software - as required by ISO 17025, for example - is a topic that people don't like to talk about. Often there is uncertainty about the following: Which software actually must be validated? If so, who should look after it? Which requirements …
Vibration protection: Case filling vs. dampened movement
Christopher Ott | Know-howVibrations can sometimes violently load Bourdon tube pressure gauges. They cause pointer flutter and also, in the event of sustained loading, damage to the measuring system, even to the point of total failure. The most effective protection against these effects is …
