Temperature Calibration : Endress + Hauser South Africa boasts lowest uncertainty of measurement other labs ( that is , at 0 ° C ± 0,008 K /° C ).
Process automation specialist , Endress + Hauser South Africa ' s Temperature Calibration “ �is is due to the ultramodern technology Laboratory utilises only the highest precision used , which is of highest precision and is and state-of-the-art equipment , resulting in it mirrored on other Endress + Hauser factories in achieving a SANAS accolade as one of the highest performing temperature calibration Europe ,” points out Benjamin Mlangeni , laboratories in South Africa . product manager for Temperature System C o m p o n e n t s & R e g i s t r a t i o n a t
�e most basic criterion when it comes to
Endress + Hauser South Africa . temperature calibration is to always use a reference sensor that is of higher accuracy than To ensure that it continuously offers the lowest the device to be calibrated . uncertainty of measurements , the South African facility not only conducts interlaboratory comparisons ( ILCs ) with other local
Endress + Hauser ' s Temperature Calibration Laboratory , located in Apex , an industrial area labs , but also performs an annual ILC with two in Benoni , has been named as one of the highest European laboratories situated in Germany and performing temperature calibration laboratory Italy . �e latter proves its traceability at a global in the country , boasting some of the lowest level . uncertainty of measurement when compared to �e Endress + Hauser lab is accredited in accordance with the recognised International Standard ISO / IEC 17025:2005 to calibrate instruments from -20 ° C up to 1550 ° C . “ �is allows it to cover a wide scope when compared to other calibration labs ,” continues Mlangeni . “ �e accreditation demonstrates technical competency for a de ned scope and the operation of a laboratory quality management system .”
�e reference equipment employed by the lab includes high-precision multi-meters that are annually sent to the National Metrology Institute of South Africa ( NMISA ) for calibration , again evidencing traceability to national and international standards .
Other South African labs also use the local
