Blanes Pressure Solutions announces its appointment as distributor for Fluke calibration products
July 2016
News
Over the past few years, Fluke has been building a significant position in the process calibration field, having acquired such well known companies as Pressurements, Ruska, DHI, Hart Scientific and Martel.
Blanes Pressure Solutions, the latest incarnation of a name dating back to the gold rush days, is well known in the calibration field, mainly through Blanes’ 50 year relationship with the Budenberg Gauge Company, now sadly broken up. The company has supplied calibration equipment to virtually every significant pressure workshop in the country, and has had exposure to Fluke through its rewarding history with Martel Electronics, a Fluke company.
This new arrangement with Fluke restores Blanes Pressure Solutions’ capacity to provide a complete service in the field of pressure calibration. The range now includes portable electronic calibrators from Fluke and Martel; mechanical and electronic industrial deadweight testers and comparators from the Pressurements range; National Standard pressure balances from Ruska; pressure and flow standards from DHI; calibration heat sources, both liquid bath, dry-block and radiation from Hart Scientific; and process signal calibrators from Fluke and Martel.
Blanes Pressure Solutions looks forward to supplying this expanded range of process calibration products to customers both existing and future.
