Instrument Calibration
Eliminating or minimising factors that cause inaccurate measurements is a fundamental aspect of instrumentation design.
Welch Instrumentation Limited provides calibrations on all instrumentation tailored to the customer’s need. We use the highest specification equipment that can provide paperless certification. All calibrations are carried out to the highest standard by our experienced team.
Our services include, but are not limited to:
Flow Calibration
Flow metre calibration is the process of verifying the accuracy of a flow metre against a reference point.
Calibration usually involves measuring the flow rate of a known volume of liquid, gas or pressure passing through the flow metre. This can be done by a comparison measurement using a reference meter in situ, by an electronic verification or by a wet calibration or using an IBC.
Calibration by comparison and calibration by verification reduces the need for downtime on your process, as the flow meter can stay in the line, reducing costs.
Gas flow metre calibration
Mass flow calibration
Thermo-flow calibration
Magnetic flow metre calibration
Vortex flow calibration
Ultrasonic flow flow calibration
Pressure Calibration
A pressure gauge/transmitter is a device used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid. There are many different types of pressure instruments, each designed for specific applications.
Pressure transmitters and gauges must be calibrated regularly to ensure accurate readings. To ensure your instruments are within tolerance we have the equipment to pump through the range to measure the output either at the gauge itself or on the DCS/SCADA systems.

Analytical Instrument Calibration
Analytical Instrument Calibration is the process of setting up an analytical instrument so that it provides accurate results.
There are many factors that can affect the accuracy of an analytical instrument, so it is important to calibrate the instrument regularly. The process of calibration involves adjusting the instruments to match a known standard. This can be done using a variety of methods, including manual adjustment, known standard solutions. Each method has its own advantages, so it is important to choose the right method for the instrument and the application.

Sample maintenance
Precision Level Calibration
Precision level calibration is a critical process in many industries, where accurate measurements are essential.
There are many different methods and technologies that can be used to achieve precision level measurements across all industries including oil and gas.
Radar
Guided wave radar
Ultrasonic

Displacers
Float
Temperature Calibration
Calibration involves using a known reference temperature and comparing the sensor’s reading to that reference. If the sensor is inaccurate, the calibration process can be used to adjust the readings so that they fall within tolerance.
Calibrating a temperature sensor is an important part of ensuring its accuracy. By taking the time to calibrate the sensor, you can ensure that it will provide accurate readings in your application. Calibrations can be carried out using a temperature hot block or by simulation.
Welch Instrumentation have extensive experience and knowledge of temperature sensors and can provide accurate calibrations.
