Uniformly high product quality is one of the most important goals set by Endress+Hauser. In meeting these objectives the private family-owned company is prepared to invest significant sums in its production facilities. The flowmeter calibration facility in Reinach embodies an outstanding concept, with the backing of a 22-strong team of highly qualified engineers, technicians and designers. They channeled the 30-plus years of experience amassed by Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG into this project.
The new calibration facility produces measurements that deviate no more than ±0.015 percent from the reference value - equivalent to about the contents of one champagne glass in one thousand liters of water. Thirty influencing variables in all were taken into account in order to achieve the excellent performance of this facility. A regimen of constant checks and controls ensures that the high requirements on calibration accuracy are reliably satisfied. Dr. Hugo Bissig from the Federal Office of Metrology (METAS) in Bern and Mr. August Schaub from the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS) represented the Swiss accreditation authorities at the opening, and had the opportunity of seeing for themselves just how this reliability is implemented.
