PR510105 - For blackbody sources in the range -10 to 200°C, the laboratory can now achieve a best measurement uncertainty of +/-0.8°C - a performance that is matched only by the National Physical Laboratory. The uncertainty figure for thermocouples, radiation thermometers and other blackbody sources is between +/-1 and 4°C.
Land's calibration laboratory was the first to be accredited to issue United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) certificates for thermal measurements, and to meet the requirements of ISO17025.
Â
Set up originally for the initial calibration of Land's own instruments, the laboratory is used by companies of all kinds whose processes depend on accurate infrared temperature measurement - and even Land's competitors on occasion.
As well as calibrating and accrediting instruments, it advises customers on the best method of achieving traceability for their equipment and can also provide a re-calibration reminder service - especially useful for subcontractors to defence and aerospace organisations.
