Periodic calibration of process instruments is required to keep plants operating efficiently and safely. Fluke has a broad range of process calibration tools for pharmaceutical, refining and other industrial areas for use on the bench or out in the plant or field. These source, simulate and measure pressure, temperature and electrical signals to help verify and adjust test equipment or process instruments.
Fluke’s loop calibrators provide mA sourcing, simulation and measurement, readouts in both mA and % of span, 24 V loop supply, simple operation and reliable accuracy. These are essential tools for working with 4-20 mA current loops. Other calibrators in the range include:
• The 7526B precision process calibrator, which offers the best balance of economy and accuracy for calibration of temperature and pressure process measurement instrumentation.
• The 754 HART multifunction documenting process calibrator, which sources, simulates and measures pressure, temperature and electrical signals with exceptional precision.
• The 718-300G pressure calibrator with pump, which provides a total pressure calibration solution for transmitters, gauges and switches with pressure source and milliamp measurement to calibrate and maintain almost any pressure device.
• The P3100 hydraulic deadweight tester, which carries out high quality, high performance, easy-to-use oil pressure calibration.
• The 726 multifunction process calibrator, which is designed specifically for the process industry with broad workload coverage, calibration power and unsurpassed accuracy.
• The lightweight and portable 9144 field temperature metrology well, which is small enough to easily carry in one hand. It operates from 50 to 660°C and is accurate to ±0,1°C.
