6 Electrical Assuring the quality, consistency and stability of a current, voltage or resistance etc. is crucial. Traceability for the measurement not only fulfils the requirements of ISO 9001, but also gives confidence that safety precautions are being met in compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations Electrical calibration is designed to ensure any electrical device is operating within pre-set limits. These limits are in place to guarantee that the safety standard or rating of the device meets HSE and BS legislation. Reliability, operating life, functionality, safety and cost can all be impacted by a lack of calibration conducted by an approved laboratory. Our automated Fluke System enables us to calibrate a wide variety of multimeters, signal generators and general test equipment: Multimeters, Ammeters, Voltmeters, Clamp Meters, Resistance Meters Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analysers, Curve Tracers LCR Meters, Frequency Meters, Function Generators Watt Meters, Power Meters, Power Analysers, Electronic Tachometers Voltage Calibrators, Current Calibrators PAT Testers, Loop Testers, RCD Testers, Insulation Testers, Continuity Testers and Multifunction Testers (17th Edition) Cable Avoidance Tools High Voltage Equipment Voltage Testing and Measuring Apparatus 6

7 Temperature Assuring accurate temperature monitoring or recording is prerequisite within many industries, from food and beverage to aerospace, and traceability for the measurement is usually a requirement from the customer of a finished assembly or product. Temperature calibration not only ensures that the process is being controlled within pre-defined limits but is also a determining critical safety factor for many industrial applications. For example, ensuring an autoclave reaches and maintains set temperatures within the entire working volume provides peace of mind that the underlying process is operating correctly. Temperature calibration services from CET are available for a wide range of equipment: Temperature Probes: Thermocouples and Thermistors Hand Held Infra-Red Temperature Measurement Devices Thermal Imaging Cameras Mercury in Glass and Alcohol Thermometers Temperature Data Loggers Temperature Calibrators Digital and Analogue Temperature Indicators Temperature Chart Recorders Dry Block Calibrators Temperature Baths Autoclaves Sterilisers Ovens Temperature Capabilities Generation Measurement -30 C to C -200 C to C 7

8 Pressure Accurately monitoring and recording pressure is of paramount importance across a range of industries, and is often a requirement from the customer of a finished assembly or product. The results of this could have far reaching ramifications. Reliability, operating life, functionality, safety and cost can all be impacted by a lack of calibration conducted by an approved laboratory such as CET. CET provides calibration services for a wide variety of digital and analogue pressure gauges and instruments: Dial Type Gas Pressure Gauges Dial Type Hydraulic Pressure Gauges Electronic Absolute and Gauge Pressure Transducers Vacuum Pressure Gauges Differential Pressure Gauges Barometric Pressure Gauges* Manometers Pressure Data Loggers Pressure Leak Detectors Pressure Calibrators Pressure Controllers Pressure Capabilities Vacuum Pressure Gas gauge and absolute pressure Hydraulic gauge pressure Barometric pressure* -2 Torr 10 Torr 1 mbar 200 bar 10 mbar 1200 bar 00 mbar 1500 mbar *If required, we can calculate the barometric pressure at your site on any specific day. 8

Force and Flow of force and flow gauges or instruments includes the likes of torque tools, flow meters, scales, balances and a range of compression instruments.

9 Force and Flow of force and flow gauges or instruments includes the likes of torque tools, flow meters, scales, balances and a range of compression instruments. Each of these device families require the same essential calibration that would be required of any other gauge or instrument. During assembly processes ensuring the correct torque value is applied aids safety and functionality. Ensuring reference weights are correct and balances or scales read to the correct weight is also critical when ensuring the correct compound ratio of ingredients, raw materials or finished products. Flow meters and gauges are used in many industries from heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) engineers to medical applications such as syringe calibration. The flow of essential liquids, oils, air, petrol and gases has a fundamental role to play in safety, performance and compliance. Tension and compression testing has a vital role to play within most industries, from the manufacture of textiles through to high speed trains. Incorrect calibration may devalue (or overvalue) a product and, in a worst-case scenario, effect the product s ability to meet industry safety standards. Thanks to our recent investment in a bespoke force rig, we are able to test tension and compression up to 50 tonnes. Force and flow calibration services from CET are available for a wide variety of devices: Torque: Analysers, Wrenches, Screwdrivers Airflow: Pitot Tube, Vane and Hot Wire Anemometers, Ventilation Apertures Mass: Weights, Measuring Weights from 0.01g to 300kg Scales: Analogue/Digital Platform, Industrial, Hanging and Crane Scales Balances: Analogue/Digital Precision Balances Force Gauges: Digital Tension/Compression Force Gauges, Load Cells Wire Crimping Tools (0.5mm 400mm CSA): Gauge, Pull and Resistance Tests 9

10 Dew Point and Humidity Dew Point is the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and can vary according to pressure and humidity (the invisible amount of water vapour in the air). When both dew point and humidity need to be monitored or controlled, it is important that those instruments are calibrated to the correct standard. Protection of electronic devices, installations and equipment from the build-up of humidity helps prevent damage, ensures optimal life and contributes to the safety of electrical and electronic equipment. Humidity within a production environment can result in the accelerated onset of oxidation (rust) in metals; impacting on operational performance and potentially leading to increased costs either from process efficiency or remedial action. CET offers a range of dew point and humidity calibration services: of humidity and dew point meters in the range: 5-95% RH, 0-60 c of up to 5 probes simultaneously Traceability of calibration via a UKAS certificate of cylindrical probes up to 30mm diameter of instruments with integral sensors and displays of dew point meters within the range capabilities 10
