Fully automated ISO 17025 calibration in the production process

Measuring correctly is the ‘metrological base’ for any manufacturer of measuring instrumentation. Those wanting to produce to ISO 9001 standards must be able to rely on dependable calibration equipment for all measuring devices. Endress+Hauser’s own calibration laboratory was established in 1994. It is responsible for managing the company’s test and measuring equipment and looks after some thousand measuring units used in production, development and service. Devices are calibrated for our own use and for customers. This guarantees that measurements on products can be traced back to ‘national calibration standards’. The calibration laboratory is ISO 17025-accredited by DAkkS (national accreditation body for the Federal Republic of Germany) (D-K-15172-01-00) for the measurement quantities vacuum and pressure. The scope includes pressure ranges from 1 µbar (1.45 x 10-5 psi) to 801 bar (11.617 psi) absolute pressure and from -1 bar (-14.5 psi) to 800 bar (11.603 psi) gauge pressure. The best measurement capability is down to 0.003 %.

Since 2004 automated DKD/DAkkS calibration is integrated in the production process. This ensures fast delivery times and traceable calibration. You have the possibility of selecting an ISO 17025 calibration directly via the

order code when ordering a pressure device. The complete calibration procedure is fully automated and controlled – right up to printing of calibration certificates and labels in the packaging unit.
