Calibration Services
Choose us for your annual calibration needs and we will extend your new instruments’ warranty for up to 5 years at no additional cost.
We offer a variety of Calibration Services and Accredited Calibration options to fit your needs. Our expert technicians work exclusively with Associated Research instruments and ship all calibrations within 2 business days guaranteed.
If your instruments ships late, we pay the freight.
Standard Calibration Options
Standard Calibration
Verifies your instrument is functioning properly and includes a calibration certificate.
WHY YOU NEED THIS:
If you want to ensure your instrument is performing accurately, but you don’t need to provide evidence of each test point.
Standard Calibration with Data
Includes before (as received) data and after (as returned) data along with a calibration certificate.
WHY YOU NEED THIS:
If you want to ensure your instrument is performing accurately and you would like data to support this fact. Despite having the data to support the proper functioning of your instrument, you don’t need to provide evidence of each test point to an auditor. If you do need evidence to provide to an auditor, you will require an accredited calibration.
Calibrated using standards with accuracies traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Accredited Calibration Options
Verifies your instrument is functioning properly and includes a certificate accredited towards the following standards:
- ISO 17025
- ANSI Z540.1-1994
- CTL Specification Sheet DSH 251B
- Denan’s Law
WHY YOU NEED ACCREDITED CALIBRATION:
If an auditor will be visiting your facility, they will likely require an accredited calibration certificate that includes tractability to NIST.
Accredited calibrations provide measurement data and uncertainty traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Measurement Packages
Requires Standard Calibration with Data or Accredited Calibration
Power Analysis Package – Crest Factor KV, DC ripple
Voltage THD Package
Why Should I Choose the Power Analysis Package?
Is your instrument’s signal still operating at Specification requirements? Your Hipot tester is a precise measurement device that requires a clean signal with minimal noise to operate at peak performance and within standard requirements. Save yourself time and ensure your instrument is measuring at optimal efficiency by choosing the Power Analysis Package.
- Crest Factor determines the ratio of peak voltage to the RMS voltage of a waveform (DC Voltage removed). This is considered an instrument’s “dynamic range”. A Pure sine wave will have a crest factor value between 1.3 to 1.5 RMS. The Power Analysis Package verifies your instrument is still operating within this range.
- DC Ripple measures the percentage or amount of filtering on your DC Signal using an oscilloscope. This report tells you how clean and accurate your signal is. An optimal DC Ripple is less than or equal to 4%.
What is Voltage THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)?
Power sources act as non-linear loads, drawing a distorted waveform that contains harmonics. It is beneficial to analyze these harmonics as they can cause problems ranging from transmission interference to the degradation of conductors and insulating material in motors and transformers.
