Fluenta launches Flow Calibration Facility for pre-shipping meter calibration
Calibration reduces set-up time and ensures highest levels of accuracy and the Fluenta Flow Calibration Facility provides a reference meter uncertainty of 0.28 per cent
Fluenta, the global leader in ultrasonic measurement and management technology, has announced the launch of its internal ‘Flow Calibration Facility’ for accurate calibration of customer flow meters. The facility offers customers the capability to accurately calibrate flow meters at the Fluenta factory before shipment to the final destination.
Fluenta’s gas flow meters use ultrasonic technology to deliver the most accurate measurement of flow against all temperatures and flow levels. The ability to calibrate meters in the factory ensures a faster and more effective set up on site, as well as the highest levels of accuracy.
Fluenta’s Flow Calibration Facility provides a reference meter uncertainty of 0.28 per cent, ensuring extremely accurate measurement of flow velocity, temperature and pressure before a meter leaves Fluenta’s factory.
Sigurd Aase, CEO of Fluenta, comments: “Accuracy can be challenging in flow measurement during periods of low flow velocity or where temperatures vary.”
“Offering our customers the ability to calibrate meters before they leave the Fluenta factory means they can be confident they will receive the most accurate and consistent readings possible.”
