Calibration of temperature sensors

Calibration of temperature sensors

High-precision calibration with ifm electronic

Calibration method for pressure sensors

The comparative measurement for the calibration of pressure sensors is performed with electronic pressure controllers and high-precision deadweight testers by using known mass pieces.

Calibration method for temperature sensors

Here the comparative measurement is performed in stirred, temperature-controlled liquid baths by using high-precision reference temperature sensors.

Calibration method for flow sensors

Depending on the medium, the comparative measurement is performed by using high-precision reference flow devices and critical nozzles.

Calibration method for vibration sensors

The comparative measurement of vibration sensors is carried out by comparing the measured value of the transducer to be calibrated with that of a standard accelerometer.

Calibration method for analytical sensors

The comparative measurement is performed by using a secondary calibration solution.

Benefit from accredited calibrations

Performance of accredited calibrations (DAkkS)

The calibration is performed by ifm as an accredited laboratory by means of a comparative measurement according to guideline DKD-R 5-1(09/2018) “Calibration of Resistance Thermometers” or guideline DKD-R 6-1 (03/2014) “Calibration of Pressure Gauges” or guideline KV-F001:2020-09 “Internal calibration method for flow sensors”.

Measuring systems for issuing DAkkS / factory certificates

They are traceable to national standards of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) or other national standards. In contrast to DAkkS calibration certificates, factory certificates are not accepted as traceability proof.

 

Special remarks

  • In addition to analogue process values, ifm offers the option to also specify IO-Link process values in the calibration certificate.
  • All certificates are bilingual and issued in German and English
  • Corresponding certificates must be requested when ordering the article in question
