Fluke has acquired DH Instruments (DHI), a manufacturer of high-performance pressure and gas flow standards, including calibration process software.
Fluke has acquired DH Instruments (DHI), a manufacturer of high-performance pressure and gas flow standards, including calibration process software.
DHI also offers A2LA-accredited pressure and gas flow calibration services, as well as metrology training courses at its facility in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Under the agreement, DHI will become part of the Fluke Precision Measurement division, joining the Fluke calibration product and service teams.
According to Tom Johnson, Fluke's Precision Measurement Vice President, "DHI is well known for their innovative solutions in pressure and flow calibration".
"This high-quality product portfolio complements the Fluke line of dc/low-frequency ac electrical, RF and temperature calibration products and allows us to offer customers an even broader range of integrated solutions and services".
Fluke Precision Measurement encompasses a broad selection of standards, calibrators, data loggers, general-purpose test instruments, software, training, and global support and service.
"In Fluke, we have found a partner who matches our commitment to quality and to the customer", said Martin Girard, DH Instruments President.
"As part of the Fluke organisation, we can strengthen our operations and expand further into new markets around the world".
"We are excited about the opportunity to better serve our existing customers and to reach more prospective new customers".
"This is a great move for both companies", confirms Barbara Hulit, Fluke President.
"DHI products reinforce our business on several fronts, helping expand the breadth of our precision measurements business and also helping provide stronger support for other products in our range of test tools".
"Combined, our businesses will thrive, satisfying more customers worldwide".
The DHI product line is focused on metrology solutions and includes primary and transfer standards for pressure and gas flow calibration, accessories, training and services.
These include PG7000 automated pressure balances, FPG very low pressure standards, a full range of digital pressure controllers and pressure monitors, and molbloc/molbox gas flow calibration systems.
Customers include national labs, aerospace, the military, and manufacturers who rely on precise pressure standards to support their manufacturing processes.
This is much the same customer base addressed by Fluke's other calibration and test tools businesses.
