When it comes to mobile calibration services, Murphy’s Law tends to be in full effect: what can go wrong will go wrong.
“During my time as a mobile calibration technician, I cannot recall a specific instance where the asset list communicated by the customer was entirely accurate. The list mirrored the plan a little bit, but there's always a couple of extras that were hiding in somebody's toolbox, unexpected repairs, or some equipment was lost. So, you really must be prepared for anything.” –...

We all know properly calibrated equipment and regular calibrations keep many industries up and running. Precise and accurate measurements are crucial to the success of any manufacturing and production processes. However, not every piece of equipment can be sent into a calibration lab regularly. That’s where building a mobile calibration lab, a lab on wheels, can help you get more customers and keep more assets calibrated.

The newest multi-product calibrators from Fluke Calibration, the 5560A, 5550A, and 5540A Multi-Product Calibrators make it easy to calibrate a wide range of different tools. However, the top 5 most often run calibration tests are:
Calibrating AC current
Calibrating DC voltage
Calibrating resistance
Calibrating using a thermocouple connector
Calibrating a clamp meter
Multimeter calibration
The multimeter calibrator process is one of the most common ways to use a multi-product calibrator;...

MET/CAL™ Calibration Management Software is built to automate the calibration of a wide range of electrical test equipment. The software walks you through the process you need to take to run a test and takes you step-by-step through the procedure. You can also use MET/CAL to guide you through a manual test. This video demonstrates what MET/CAL can do using a 5520A High Performance Multi-Product Calibrator to manually calibrate a Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter.

MET/SUPPORT Gold calibration procedures are moving to an all-new platform, called Cubyt. Cubyt currently hosts 410,000 device profiles, 320,000 OEM specifications, and 250,000 CAL-SHEETS, making it the world’s largest metrology database.
Cubyt continues to see 30,000 additional devices added each month. Eventually, this platform will be the one source of truth for all metrology and calibration data across the world.

Nitinol is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium with unique properties, including superelasticity and shape memory. It can be folded up in order to be inserted into the body, then return to its original cast shape and size when in place.
Fluke salt baths help ensure consistent and repeatable processes for medical device manufacturing and Nitinol forming by providing stability and uniformity specifications that are up to 10x that of a typical heat-treating bath.
Precise heating and quenching...

In aerospace applications, pressure transducers and switches play critical roles in monitoring many systems throughout the aircraft—from hydraulics and electromechanical systems to avionics. Braking, propulsion, wing flap control, cabin pressure and countless other functions rely on pressure transducers and switches to ensure that the process is happening correctly. Accuracy is critical.
Because these devices are constantly subjected to extreme vibration, frequent ambient temperature changes...

A rotameter, also called variable area flowmeter, is inherently a volumetric flow measurement device. The word origin is rota(tion) + messer/measure/meter. The scale can be in mass flow units if the volume flow rate is multiplied by a specified density, and in dimension units (mm) or percent.
An indicator floats at a steady value when the forces on it are equal. The main forces are the weight of the float (downward) and the drag force of the fluid (upward). Other forces are the difference in...
