In temperature calibration, high demands are placed on reference thermometers in terms of accuracy and reproducibility and thus long-term stability. Therefore, RTDs (“resistance temperature detectors”) – here specifically platinum resistance thermometers – and …

Temperature calibration with reference probes, dry-well calibrators and baths
Katja Strecke | Know-howCan dry-well calibrators and calibration baths be used as internal references? Temperature dry-well calibrators and baths are a practical solution for temperature calibrations. This is true both in the field and in laboratories, as they provide a free-standing, stable …
Natural gas: On-site calibration optimised at the metering skid
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsOn-site calibration of measuring instruments is often very time-consuming and expensive. This is especially true for applications with several measurands. One example of this is the metering skid, a system for the custody transfer measurement of the amount of natural …
Calibration bath or dry-well calibrator – which is the right choice?
Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howTemperature sensors – like all other sensors – must be calibrated at regular intervals. This ensures that they deliver accurate and consistent measured values. Temperature calibration (e.g. using a calibration bath or dry-well calibrator) is generally carried out …
Calibration of tapered thread gauges
Laura Knörzer | Know-howBasically, with length measuring instruments, there is a difference in measuring test equipment and gauges. Among gauges, tapered thread gauges can be seen as a specialcase. A tapered thread gauge is a three-stage ring. For example, WIKA uses these for checking the …
