As society and technologies continue to expand, the pressures on our energy infrastructure are rapidly increasing. Take electronic vehicles as one example. While EVs have positive environmental considerations, the need to charge them is brining excess power demands to already stretched power grids. These grids depend on powerful transformers to create the energy, and if …
Maintaining a proper lubrication oil system on maritime vessels is critical to reduce friction on moving parts and avoid overheating. Each ship is different, so that lubrication systems may include any combination of controllers, valves, coolers, transmitters and pumps. No matter what equipment the lubrication oil system contains, it relies on temperature sensors or transducers …
Pressure gauges are used throughout the gas industry for testing and calibrating various instruments. These gauges require periodic calibration to assure their accuracy. Regulatory authorities require routine testing and/or audits of gas systems, which can entail fines for non-compliance. By choosing XP2i digital pressure gauges from Crystal Engineering, costly fines can be prevented with the …
We are pleased to announce the new JOFRA RTC-168 Series. It offers more flexibility, better accuracy, more stability, and faster speed. JOFRA’s 3rd generation dry/wet combination calibrator from JOFRA – based on know-how! New Liquid System – A redesigned liquid basket and a faster magnetic stirrer have resulted in a longer temperature uniformity zone. This …
Calibration of “impossible” Temperature Sensors Made Easier Read More »
A local peaking power plant with four combustion turbines was looking to replace some older pressure calibrators for their instrumentation and control technicians. These instruments would calibrate gauges, sensors, and transmitters for parameters such as steam pressure, differential pressures for level and flow, fuel pressures and more. The team was looking to replace basic pressure …

Process signals are crucial, from controlling valves, switches, or lights to measuring pressure in a pipe to calibrating temperature in a bakery oven. Ensuring that these process signals remain accurate is essential. Users have multiple choices on the calibration equipment they use. One of the most important factors to consider is ease-of-use. Since multiple process …

How can you have the best experience when arranging for repair or calibration services for lab calibration equipment and other instruments? We asked our lab experts Andreas Stachyra and Erik Nielsen from the Cameron Instruments Service Laboratory. How to Initiate a Service Request for Calibration Equipment To get started with a service request, use our …
Lab Calibration Equipment: Tips for Service without the Headaches Read More »
The true accuracy of a pressure gauge under operating conditions can be difficult to determine, in part because manufacturers’ specifications are often very confusing. One of the major differences between brand names is whether they offer “% of reading” vs. % of full scale (F.S.)” accuracy. Specifications with % of F.S. are a legacy from …
