Volume and flow

We can calibrate your volume and flow measuring instruments in our laboratory or at site in their normal surroundings. Determination of the most suitable method often depends on factors such as application, uncertainty of measurement, accessibility and for how long the process can be interrupted.

Regardless of whether you are measuring petroleum, chemicals, water or heat, we have the necessary means of calibrating the meters, capable of dealing with large or small flows, a wide range of temperatures and different types of liquids. 

Flow

Nuclear power stations, pharmaceutical industries, oil refineries, laboratories, chemical and process industries, district heating plants and waterworks all have at least one thing in common:  a reliance on flow meters. 
The only way of guaranteeing minimisation of metering errors and satisfactory operation of safety functions is to calibrate the equipment, preferably under conditions as close to the normal process conditions as possible.

Volume

As far as volume is concerned, we calibrate everything from small laboratory pipettes to large storage tanks or rock caverns.  When converting from measured levels to volumes, it is easy to overlook the fact that the tank, too, is part of the measuring instrument. 

Measuring the volume of a tank provides accurate data for entry into the conversion table for the level gauge.  Alternatively, we can calibrate the tank volume directly against the output signal from the level gauge.  In principle, we use two methods of measurement.  Larger, regular-shaped tanks are measured geometrically, while smaller or irregularly shaped tanks are best measured by filling them with a known volume of liquid.
