Process calibrator calibration for manufacturing
Process calibrators in Perth manufacturing plants check the temperature and pressure transmitters that control cooking, curing, drying and packaging lines. A calibrated reference is what links the plant loop record back to national standards for your quality system.
A process calibrator is the reference your instrument technicians carry to the plant, so an error in it is copied into every transmitter and loop they check. AmpTech calibrates loop and multifunction process calibrators in our Caversham lab on both their source and measure functions, against references traceable to national standards.
Interval in manufacturing
12 months
ISO 9001; reference instrument for plant checks
Setting the interval
Twelve months is standard for process calibrators. Because every reading the instrument gives becomes someone else's calibration record, plant-instrumentation teams tend to hold this interval firmly rather than extend it.
What the calibration covers
- mA source and measure at points across the 4–20 mA span and beyond
- Voltage source and measure on each range
- Thermocouple simulation and measurement for each type the instrument supports, including cold-junction compensation
- RTD simulation and measurement at resistance values across the range
- Frequency and pulse functions where fitted
- Loop power supply output where the instrument provides it
What your certificate records
The certificate format manufacturing procurement and audit teams ask for: the equipment under test, its serial number, the reference instruments used, as-found and as-left readings, environmental conditions and a traceability statement, plus the process calibrator-specific items below.
- As-found and as-left results for each source and measure function tested
- Thermocouple and RTD simulation results by type and test point
- Reference standards used, with their traceability
- Environmental conditions at the time of calibration
Standards & frameworks in manufacturing
- ISO 9001 quality management system
- ISO 10012 (referenced) — measurement management
- AS/NZS 3760 for portable electrical equipment on plant
- Customer-specific PPAP / quality requirements
How manufacturing clients get process and loop calibrators to us
Calibration is performed in our Caversham lab — not on site. We collect from and deliver back to manufacturing workshops and offices across Perth, and instruments from regional sites come by freight or via your Perth base.
- Canning Vale and Bibra Lake manufacturing precincts
- Welshpool and Kewdale fabrication and assembly workshops
- Malaga light industrial and trade workshops
- Osborne Park commercial and QC laboratories
Working with manufacturing procurement
We work with quality and production teams to align calibration intervals with your control plan, supply certificates that map directly to your gauge register, and schedule recall reminders so nothing falls out of cal during a production run.
