Calibration equipment should be multi-functional, and offer good value, in addition to requiring features that make it accurate, precise, dependable, and trustworthy. Calibration equipment should also offer you the best possible value so you can get the most use out of it over the many years you will be using it.

If you purchase calibration equipment, you are probably very familiar with resistance standards and resistance calibrators, including those from Fluke Calibration. Fluke Calibration manufactures hardware and software that includes both resistance calibrators and resistance standards, as well as many other types of calibrators, standards, software, services and support. These products are designed for professional users who purchase calibration equipment.

Resistance standards from Fluke Calibration include high accuracy working standards like the 742A Resistance Standards. These hard working resistance standards are small and rugged, high accuracy instruments that help you do on-site resistance calibration. You can take these instruments out of the calibration laboratory and into the field to do your calibrations, ...
... because they are small and rugged. No cumbersome equipment is required, like an oil bath or air bath. You can do the job with just the 742A Resistance Standards.

Similarly, resistance calibrators manufactured by Fluke Calibration include instruments that perform resistance calibration and also much more. For example, the 5522A Multi-Product Calibrator is an excellent choice for resistance calibration because, unlike resistance standards which supply a single value or limited set of values of resistance, this resistance calibrator provides a fully variable range of resistances from zero ohms to over 109 ohms. Additionally, it is a resistance calibrator that can be fully automated with MET/CAL software to increase your throughput and help you do your work faster.

The 5522A is also a voltage calibrator, a current calibrator, a power calibrator, a thermometer calibrator, and more. With an option, it can calibrate oscilloscopes too. It gives you many options for the types of calibration you do and the types of workload you can calibrate with it. In terms of calibration equipment, it is a multi-functional workhorse that will provide you with many years of dependable service. In addition to its many features that enable calibration of a broad workload, this rugged calibrator has protection features that keep you from making a mistake and accidently doing damage to the calibrator or to yourself.

When you unpack your new resistance standards or resistance calibrators, you will understand why calibration equipment manufactured by Fluke Calibration is among the best in the world. This calibration equipment has been designed with you the user in mind and you should find operating each instrument to be a pleasurable experience that you will enjoy for many years to come.

Fluke Calibration is a leader in precision calibration instruments and software for electrical, temperature, pressure, flow, and RF measurements. Calibration products from Fluke are relied on by quality engineers, calibration technicians and metrologists to instill confidence in the measurements that are critical to their organizations for quality, safety, reliability and cost. They also provide industry leading calibration software that maximizes the automation of calibration and testing processes.
