Process Calibrator

A Process Calibrator is one of the most important measurement and testing tools in process industries, used for checking, adjusting, and validating the performance of instrumentation equipment such as transmitters, sensors, switches, and controllers. These devices play a vital role in maintaining the accuracy and reliability of control systems.

A Process Calibrator can generate or measure various signals, including electrical signals, current (mA), voltage (V), resistance (Ω), frequency, and temperature to compare and adjust the performance of the equipment under test. This feature makes it a multi-functional tool for instrumentation technicians.

By using this device, operators can periodically check and calibrate the performance of measuring equipment in industrial units to reduce measurement errors and maintain the quality of the production process.

Process Calibrators are available in handheld, portable, and benchtop models, with some featuring advanced capabilities such as data logging, calibration software connectivity, and test result storage.
