One of the world’s leading research universities used a portable, real-time air monitoring system as part of an ongoing study into the impacts of household air pollution when switching from biomass to gas stoves. With the study taking place in rural Peru, the ultra-portability of the system allowed researchers to overcome challenges related to access …
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 …

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 »
As a trusted calibration and service partner we often get questions about our calibration and repair process. This prompted us to put together an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) Instructions page with answers to some frequently asked questions. I’ve compiled these thoughts here to hopefully make the process clear and easy to follow. First Steps The …
Sensors: Welded Sensor: It’s not generally possible to tell whether a sensor is fully welded by looking at the gauge, so check with the manufacturer. Non-welded sensors use o-rings or even thread tape inside the gauge. O-rings can degrade, and both o-rings and thread tape have the potential for leaks. Moisture: If the specification warns …
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 …

Cameron Instruments Inc. operates a state-of-the-art ISO 17025 accredited pressure calibration facility. Their laboratory provides high accuracy pressure and temperature calibrations, using Fluke Piston Gauges and AMETEK JOFRA dry block and liquid bath temperature calibrators. Their current scope for pressure provides coverage from 5kPa (0.7 psia) to 200 MPa (30,000 psia) in either gauge or …
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 …
