Advanced Flow Sensor Calibrations

Advanced Processing is devoted to delivering the pinnacle of standard calibration for all equipment specifically designed to measure flow. These vital instruments quantify the flow rate of fluids, liquids, or gases as they traverse through a confined transmission system. An array of these ingenious devices leverage the inherent physical properties of liquids and gases to achieve the most accurate and cost-effective measurements. They employ a broad range of measurement methods, including ultrasonic, electromagnetic, Karman vortex, paddlewheel, floating element, thermal, and differential pressure techniques.

At APS, we understand the importance of precise calibration for these diverse instruments to ensure the utmost accuracy and stability of the process. Our commitment to excellence underpins every calibration we perform, fostering trust in the precision and reliability of every measurement.

Liquid Flow Rate Calibration

A liquid flow meter is an instrument designed for measuring the flow rate of fluid via a fluid transmission system. APS performs liquid flow rate calibrations (flow meter calibration) whether the measurement system is based on a single fundamental parameter or a very complicated process. The method of measurement depends on the technology used. We perform backflow test gauge calibrations / flow rate calibrations on a regular basis.

Mass Flow Meter Calibrations

APS performs mass flow meter calibrations / flow rate calibrations to the finest of tolerances in gas measurement. Because the mass flow controller is a specific inline device it is critical that is regularly maintained and calibrated in laboratories or production settings. Mass flow sensor calibration requires both measurement and control functions all the while tight thermal / pressure control is maintained for consistent volumetric metering.

Leading mass flow meter calibrations include:

  • Brooks
  • Burkert
  • Bronkhorst
  • Porter

Volumetric Flow Meter Calibration

APS performs NIST traceable ISO 17025 volumetric flow sensor calibration in analytical laboratory / industrial process applications. We can quickly accommodate on-site equipment or equipment overnighted to our laboratory for rapid calibration and instrument turnaround. A sampling of instruments we regularly calibrate include: digital force gauge, load cell, balance, vernier caliper, height gauge, torque wrench, torque analyzer, torque tester, torque screwdriver, and manometer. Torque wrench calibration is a common request where we expedite service. Several applications of balance calibration, load cell calibration, torque calibration and flow sensor calibration involve our setting up an initial IOPQ process qualification and validation.

Calibrations FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

What are in line flow meters?

In line flow meters are devices used to measure the flow rate of liquids or gases in a tube or pipeline. They are installed directly in the tube or pipeline and provide real-time measurements of the flow rate. In line flow meters (sensors) are commonly used in laboratory settings for measuring the flow rate of liquids in experiments, as well as in industrial production processes for monitoring the flow rate of liquids or gases in manufacturing processes. There are different types of in line flow meters, including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, and thermal flow meters, each with their own advantages and limitations. The choice of in line flow meter depends on the specific application and the properties of the fluid being measured.
