APPLICATIONS

National Metrology Institutes (NMI)

National Metrology Institutes (NMI) are responsible for the development and maintenance of calibration procedures and associated standards, as well as for the primary calibrations of reference sensors with the lowest measurement uncertainty to ensure accurate and reliable measurements in various fields such as science, industry and commerce.

Our product range includes primary and secondary calibration systems as well as individual ­components such as high-quality exciters for NMI. With these, SPEKTRA has equipped many renowned laboratories worldwide. Customers can rely on the know-how we have acquired in our own primary calibration laboratory. This enables us to offer, for example, interlaboratory comparisons, various accredited calibration services and cooperation in the development of new calibration methods and systems.

Complete systems

Primary and secondary calibration systems

Our primary calibration systems are based on fundamental physical constants and laws. With the lowest measurement uncertainties, they serve as the highest instance in the calibration hierarchy. Their implementation in a measuring station that is as free of interference as possible requires expert knowledge and highly precise components.

SPEKTRA primary calibration systems can also be used as secondary calibration systems by an NMI when a less complex calibration procedure is sufficient, e.g. to offer calibration services. The systems are characterized by open interfaces that allow the verification of the measurement data with in-house evaluations as well as the use of the data for research purposes.

We supply turnkey calibration systems consisting of the required hardware and software components and take care of the comprehensive installation and commissioning in laboratories worldwide.

Established portfolio of exciters and other individual components

National metrology institutes that want to establish their own reference systems can rely on high-quality exciters, power amplifiers, zero position controllers and other components from SPEKTRA. In addition, they will find further accessories, some of which have been specially developed to meet the high requirements. This way you can ensure the highest precision and accuracy.
