Fluenta launches Flow Calibration Facility for pre-shipping meter calibration

• Calibration reduces set-up time and ensures highest levels of accuracy
• Fluenta Flow Calibration Facility provides a reference meter uncertainty of 0.28%

Fluenta, the global leader in ultrasonic measurement and management technology, today announces the launch of its internal ‘Flow Calibration Facility’ for accurate calibration of customer flow meters. The facility offers customers the capability to accurately calibrate flow meters at the Fluenta factory before shipment to the final destination.

Fluenta’s gas flow meters use ultrasonic technology to deliver the most accurate measurement of flow against all temperatures and flow levels. The ability to calibrate meters in the factory ensures a faster and more effective set up on site, as well as the highest levels of accuracy.
Fluenta’s Flow Calibration Facility provides an exceptional level of reference meter uncertainty of 0.28%, ensuring extremely accurate measurement of flow velocity, temperature and pressure before a meter leaves Fluenta’s factory.

Fluenta’s factory calibration is particularly relevant for customers who require above standard accuracy without having to invest in third party certification by industry bodies such as the Colorado Engineering Experiment Station (CEESI), where Fluenta meters were shown to perform with an uncertainty of less than three per cent without prior calibration.

Using Fluenta’s Flow Calibration Facility, flow meters can be calibrated to achieve uncertainties of below 1%.
Sigurd Aase, CEO of Fluenta, comments: “Accuracy can be challenging in flow measurement during periods of low flow velocity or where temperatures vary.”

“Offering our customers the ability to calibrate meters before they leave the Fluenta factory means they can be confident they will receive the most accurate and consistent readings possible.”
