TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
Why Accurate Temperature Measurement Matters in Your Process
In industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and petroleum, even slight temperature variations can significantly impact the accuracy of volumetric measurements. This is especially critical when quality control and custody transfer are governed by stringent regulations. To ensure the integrity of your processes and compliance with these standards, precise temperature measurement is essential.
Like all sensors, temperature probes are susceptible to drift over time, leading to inaccurate readings. Regular calibration or verification against a reliable reference thermometer is therefore a necessary practice to maintain the accuracy of your temperature data.
At Colonial Instruments, we understand the importance of reliable temperature measurements. Our expert calibration services ensure that your thermometers and electrical temperature sensors provide the accurate readings you need. While our standard turnaround time is approximately one week, we recognize that downtime can be costly. That’s why we offer expedited service, with the potential for same-day turnaround in many cases, to get your critical instruments back in operation swiftly.
SERVICE DETAILS
Our Metrology Lab utilizes Fluke Primary Reference Standards having  Accuracies of 0.05°C (0.09°F) across a Temperature Range of  -20°C to 300°C (-4°F to 572°F).
We implemented state of the art Fluke Model 6330 and Model 7320 Compact Temperature Calibration Baths with Stability and uniformity each better than ± 0.008 °C.
Our Fluke 1586A Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner gives us best-in-class temperature meaÂsurement accuracy. It also allows for simultaneous testing of up to 40 isolated input channels for measuring RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors, dc Voltage, dc curÂrent, and resistance.
MISSION STATEMENT
Experience Thorough Care and Precise Temperature Calibration
When you send an instrument to Colonial Instruments for calibration, you receive more than just an accuracy check. We take the extra step to ensure your instrument is in optimal condition by providing a complimentary clean-up. This includes removing any Teflon tape from connections, wire brushing debris from pressure fittings, and performing a general cleaning of the instrument, including the case and window.
For analog thermometers, our standard calibration includes a minimum 3-point calibration certificate traceable to NIST or an equivalent SI unit, providing you with documented accuracy. Our temperature calibration services extend to thermocouples, RTD sensors, and temperature transmitters. Additionally, our HART capabilities allow us to scale or custom configure transmitters with HART communication protocol to meet your specific requirements.
Whether you need to re-calibrate existing temperature instruments or calibrate new ones, Colonial Instruments is your trusted partner. Our extensive stock of temperature instruments and thermowells enables us to offer in-stock solutions for customers requiring fast delivery.
