Kiwi's
show up the Aussies (again)
We
may be one of New Zealand's biggest pressure calibration labs, but
when we partook in an Australia-New Zealand inter-laboratory
comparison we did not expect to come out on top. Twelve pressure labs
(7 Australian; 5 NZ) tested a Fluke
RPM4 Digital Pressure indicator and submitted their results with
best possible uncertainties, and we were surprised to discover CPS
Labs had the lowest uncertainty factor of all labs that participated.
Basically this means we were the best pressure calibration facility
across all these labs.
I
guess this is not that surprising considering CPS Labs has strived to
keep up with developments in pressure calibration instrumentation.
Over the past five years CPS has purchased three additional
automated pressure controllers, and two High Accuracy Piston
Gauges. This is a big advancement on the one dead weight tester
we started with back in the late 80's (which is now probably better
at home in a museum). Our pressure lab is housed in a specifically
built, insulated room, and also houses Five pressure comparators for
the testing of industrial gauges (one specifically for oxygen service
gauges), one for calibrations in the 1000 to 2000 bar range. As well
as the new Fully Automated
Dead weight tester.
If
are interested in visiting our Lab and seeing the latest in high end
pressure calibration equipment then do contact

calibrate can be found here.
We undertake Relief Valve testing, and the calibration check on
Infrared guns and Infrared Cameras.
