Why annual calibration?
Bronkhorst instruments are designed for long-term stable performance and do not always require annual calibration from a technical perspective. However, in many industries, periodic calibration is part of quality assurance programs, audit requirements, or regulatory procedures.
A Bronkhorst service agreement helps you stay on top of these requirements. By planning calibration, preventive maintenance, and repair activities in advance, you can maintain confidence in your measurements, support quality and compliance objectives, improve process consistency, and maximize instrument lifetime.
Our local service teams can provide the support you need. Global standards, local experts and true partnership.
Why calibration matters
The performance of flow meters, flow controllers, and other process instruments can be influenced by their operating environment. Factors such as temperature changes, application conditions, or regulatory requirements in certain markets may affect the need for calibration. Even when not strictly necessary, regular calibration is often recommended to ensure consistent accuracy and reliability, especially in industries that mandate frequent checks, such as annual calibration standards.
Factory calibration
The frequency of calibration varies based on each application’s unique conditions, runtime, and other factors. While some instruments may require calibration every few months, others may last longer. For Bronkhorst instruments, we recommend an annual calibration, and we are eager to do this for you, but ultimately, it's up to you to determine the right timing based on your specific needs and quality standards.
Factory calibration: All Bronkhorst instruments are calibrated to ISO 9001 standards before shipping, ensuring accuracy from the start.
On-Site calibration: Our technicians can calibrate your instruments at your premises, saving time and logistics—especially for larger quantities.
