Single source EMC testing service launched
Sira Test and Certification has formed an alliance to offer a one-stop shop facility for customers who are manufacturing electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas.
The existing laboratory standards have been augmented with new instruments, allowing Sira to now offer the best commercially available measurement uncertainties in the UK with guaranteed fast turnaround times.
With its new humidity calibration laboratory, Sira can now offer customers fast and guaranteed turnaround times for projects.
The laboratory is ideal for use by customers wanting to test hygrometers from industries such as pharmaceutical, process, airline and offshore etc.
Sira can calibrate all commonly-available hygrometers, and the humidity, temperature, pressure and composition of the test gas can be varied over a wide range.
This range of specifications will allow calibrations to be carried out under actual conditions of use, which means that test conditions replicate the customer application fully.
The team of experts manning the humidity laboratory at Sira ensures that the right service is matched to the customer needs and that no corners are cut in delivering the calibration required.
With the opening of the new facility, Sira offers three service options: • Premium with turnaround times by agreement.
Uncertainties as low as +/-0.15C dewpoint and over the range -75C to +82C dewpoint.
Relative humidity instruments can be calibrated over the humidity range 5% to 98% and over a temperature range 10C to 90C with an uncertainty of +/-1.5% of the rh value.
Standard relative humidity calibrations are between 10C and 80C and 10% and 98% with a turnaround time less than two weeks.
Fastrack for rh probes at 20C with slightly higher uncertainties and a guaranteed turnaround time of one week.
Customers wishing to have their hygrometers calibrated in the UK's leading commercial humidity laboratory should contact Sira directly.
