Multimeters
Calibrationhouse provides expert calibration for multimeters, ensuring precise voltage, current, and resistance measurements for accurate electrical testing.
What is multimeter calibration?
A multimeter, also known as a Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines multiple measurement functions into one device. Calibration involves verifying all measurement parameters against a higher-accuracy standard to ensure reliable readings. Common test parameters include:
- Capacitance test
- Diode test
- Frequency test
- Logic test
- Continuity test
- AC voltage and current test
- DC current test
- Resistance check
Regular calibration ensures these functions remain accurate and compliant with industry standards.
Why is it important to calibrate a multimeter?
Multimeters are essential tools for field service engineers and are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, utilities, pharmaceutical, electrical engineering, and construction. Frequent use and portability often lead to wear and potential damage, causing inaccurate readings. Failure to calibrate multimeters can result in incorrect measurements, leading to errors in design, maintenance, or safety-critical applications.
How does Calibrationhouse ensure accurate multimeter calibration?
Calibrationhouse provides a fast and efficient calibration service to minimise equipment downtime. Multimeters are tested against national standards, ensuring precision and compliance. Calibration services are available both at our laboratory and on-site in the UK, allowing engineers to calibrate instruments at customer locations for added convenience.
For customers in the United States, Multimeter calibration is available at our Tampa facility, adhering to BSI ISO9001-certified standards. This ensures that US-based customers receive the same high-quality service and compliance with industry regulations.
How often should multimeters be calibrated?
Calibrationhouse recommends that multimeters are checked at least once per year to ensure continued accuracy and compliance with quality standards. Regular calibration prevents measurement drift and maintains confidence in the instrument’s performance.
