Hi
I recently started working at this lab and my forte is mass and temperature calibration, but my boss toldme that i have to make a revision for the gas and liquid flowmeter calibrations. Usually the first thng that i do is looking for reference material and guides to make the calibration. I try to look at nist and ukas for guides and i didnt have any luck on this, since i havent done any flow calibration in the past i dont have any idea of what i need for making the revision since the past procedure doesnt have any reference in it.
i would be very thankfull if someone can help me on this matter.
I have some reference material from Fluke you might find useful. Send me a pm with your email and I'll get them to you.
Your best source for flow reference guides will probably come from the major vendors of flow instruments like MKS Instruments and Brooks. If you have any specific questions I can hook you up with our flow technician who has been doing flow for 20+ years. Post a contact number or email.
I don't know much about MKS, but anything from Brooks would be a great source and DHI (Fluke) in my experience has proven to be extremely reliable.
