2 Flow rate calibration Calibration of flow meters Due to the requirements of a constant product quality, safety, process optimization and environmental protection, industrial flow rate measurement is becoming increasingly important. Because of the wide range of flow rate devices, measuring principles and fluids, a standard measuring technique is rarely suitable. Consequently, an individual solution is also required for the calibration. In our calibration laboratory for flow meters we conduct calibrations of devices independent of manufacturer and fluids. As one of the leading calibration service provider in Europe, we have specialized in high-precision and customized calibrations. Our expertise our promise of quality Our flow calibration team has several years of experience. The combination of unique know-how and the most modern measurement techniques ensure reliable results and smooth processing of your flow rate calibrations. Christian Knapp, Business Unit Manager for flow rate: With almost 25 years of experience in the field of flow rate calibration, I am particular pleased to establish the laboratory in Munich/Dachau as a competence center with Testo Industrial Services. With the enlargement of our laboratories, the extension of the accreditations as well as the expansion of the increasing number of employees, we have become your single-sourcing-provider for flow meters.

3 Flow rate calibration Large measuring range with minimal measurement uncertainties Our laboratory in Dachau near Munich has more than 950 m 2, so we have ideal conditions for the calibration of your flow meter regardless of the manufacturer. The DAkkS calibration procedures are accredited according to DIN EN ISO This means that your measuring devices are being calibrated with the highest accuracy. The versatility of the test equipment requires a wide spectrum of measuring equipment and calibrators. In order to meet the complex range of flow meter devices, we have six customized test benches. This enables a quick calibration of various flow rates and fluids. Measuring ranges of the calibrations Flow meter for liquids: < 0.8 ml/min up to 1,200 l/min* Flow meter for gases: from approx. 1 ml/min up to 15,000 l/min Calibrators and measuring uncertainties of the calibration procedure Four test benches for liquids with different viscosity and a measuring uncertainty 0.05 % of the actual rate Two test benches for different kind of gases with a measuring uncertainty 0.22 % of the actual rate Applying the liquid calibrations for flow meters we do not calculate the viscosity of the fluid, but we generate the viscosity of a liquid (up to 1,600 mm²/s) according to your requirements. Therefore the calibration can also be conducted with for example alcohol or various oils as well as water.

The actual fluid pressure can be varied between 1 to 12 bar and at a standard temperature of approximately 22 C. Piston calibrator KKF 80 < 0.8 ml/min 40 l/min Piston calibrator KKF ml/min 200 l/min Piston calibrators KKF ml/min 1,200 l/min The liquid calibrator for small flow rates is characterized by its unique piston construction, which ensures a minimal friction loss during the calibration. This enables measurements of smallest flow rates. The measuring range of the middle calibrator includes flow rates of 10 ml/min up to approximately 200 l/min. Two identical test benches enable the permanent calibration of various liquids (viscosity up to approximately 1,600 mm 2 /s). The regulation takes place by a numerous number of valves. By this a very large measuring range can be achieved. Individual calibration of your flow meter We can calibrate your flow meter (for liquids) with different fluids. Thereby we generate the viscosity according to your specifications.
