Home » FAQ

What is a pressure calibrator?

A pressure calibrator is an instrument used to verify and calibrate pressure-measuring devices, such as pressure gauges, trans­mit­ters, and sensors. It provides precise and accurate pressure references for calibration purposes. Pressure calibrators offer various func­tion­al­it­ies, including generating and measuring pressure,…

What is a dry block calibrator?

A dry block calibrator is a temperature calibration instrument used to verify and calibrate temperature sensors and ther­mo­met­ers. It consists of a temperature-controlled block that provides a stable and uniform temperature environment. Unlike liquid bath calibrators that use a liquid…

What is a mul­ti­func­tion calibrator?

A mul­ti­func­tion calibrator is a versatile calibration instrument that combines multiple measurement and calibration functions in a single device. It is used to calibrate, verify, and adjust a wide range of measurement instruments, eliminating the need for separate calibration tools.…

Mul­ti­func­tion vs single-function calibrator – what’s the difference?

A mul­ti­func­tion calibrator combines several measurement and calibration cap­ab­il­it­ies into one device, while a single-function calibrator is designed for one specific measurement type or calibration task. Mul­ti­func­tion models can be practical when technicians work with many different instruments, whereas single-function…

What is a documenting calibrator?

A documenting calibrator is a specialized instrument used for calibrating, verifying, and documenting the performance of various measurement devices. It combines the func­tion­al­ity of a precision calibrator with the ability to auto­mat­ic­ally record and store calibration results, creating a complete…

What is a process calibrator?

A process calibrator is a specialized instrument used to verify and calibrate process variables in industrial settings. It is designed to calibrate and troubleshoot various process instruments, such as pressure trans­mit­ters, temperature sensors, flow meters, and level sensors. Process calibrators…

What is a field comunicator?

A field com­mu­nic­at­or is a portable device used to configure, diagnose, troubleshoot, and communicate with field devices in process industries. It allows technicians to access device information, change con­fig­ur­a­tions, and perform diagnostics directly in the field. Field com­mu­nic­at­ors communicate with…

What is a HART com­mu­nic­at­or?

A HART com­mu­nic­at­or is a portable handheld device used for configuring, diagnosing, and maintaining HART-enabled field devices in industrial process control systems. It allows technicians to communicate with HART devices, retrieve important information such as process variables and diagnostics, and…

What is HART com­mu­nic­a­tion protocol?

The HART com­mu­nic­a­tion protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a widely used industrial com­mu­nic­a­tion standard for smart field instruments. It enables digital com­mu­nic­a­tion to be su­per­im­posed on traditional analog 4–20 mA signals, allowing two-way com­mu­nic­a­tion between control systems and field…
