The output of a customer owned meter is correlated with the output of a standard volumetric meter over a range of its flow capabilities. Each six months, each volumetric standard meter is calibrated against a mass standard. Each year the mass standards are calibrated against the Louisiana Department of Agriculture Standards Laboratory.
Also on a periodic basis, standards owned by the LA Dept. of Agriculture are calibrated against the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Each standard device carries with it the appropriate certificate identifying when its last calibration was performed, and by ID number, which standard device it was calibrated against.
The NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate from TECO documents this trail of calibration so that the calibration of any flow meter can be confirmed all the way back to the NIST Laboratories as is often required by regulatory agencies, ISO-9000 procedures, etc. This provides the user with a high level of confidence in the readings from his instrument.
ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited
TECO's calibration lab is also ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited, meaning it is in accordance with the recognized International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The TECO laboratory also meets any additional program requirements in the field of calibration. This accreditation demonstrates technical competence for a defined scope and the operation of a laboratory quality management system.
Unlike many calibration houses can only verify calibration within the manufacturer's specifications, TECO can provide a wide range of fully accredited flow calibration services to meet virtually any need.
