Calibrator

What is a calibrator?

A calibrator is a device used to test and verify the accuracy of measuring instruments by generating or measuring precise electrical or process signals such as mA, voltage, temperature or frequency.

What is a process calibrator?

A process calibrator is used in industrial automation to simulate and measure signals like 4-20mA, voltage, thermocouples (TC) and RTDs. It is commonly used for calibrating transmitters and control systems.

What is a loop calibrator?

A loop calibrator is specifically designed to test 4-20mA current loops used in process control systems. It can source, simulate or measure mA signals to check transmitter accuracy.

Where are calibrators used?

Calibrators are widely used in industrial plants, refineries, power plants, manufacturing units and instrumentation labs for testing pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, PLC inputs and automation systems.

Why is calibration important?

Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy, maintains compliance with industry standards, improves process reliability and reduces operational errors in critical systems.

What types of signals can a multifunction calibrator generate?

Multifunction calibrators can generate and measure signals such as DC voltage, DC current (mA), frequency, thermocouple inputs, RTD signals and resistance depending on the model.

How do I choose the right calibrator?

Select a calibrator based on the type of signal you need to measure or simulate, required accuracy, portability, safety rating and whether field or laboratory use is intended.
