We’re celebrating the 30-year anniversary of MET/CAL Calibration Management Software with a series of blogs, articles and social posts that call out milestones and interesting points of view from some of the Fluke Calibration team.
In celebrating MET/CAL, we’re also celebrating the hundreds of MET/CAL users who have interacted with the application, and Fluke Calibration, over the past 30 years. Some of you have been with us since MET/CAL ran on DOS! Your willingness to ask questions,...

How can you have the best experience when arranging for repair or calibration services for lab calibration equipment and other instruments? We asked three experts–-Anne Cobb, Stephanie May and Darcy Melton--from the Fluke Service Center in Everett, Washington and we are presenting their best tips in this post.
How to initiate a service request for calibration equipment
To get started with a service request, use the online tool to create a Return Material Authorization (RMA). Using this tool...

Fluke Calibration recently hosted a webinar (now available in its entirety as free and on-demand) in which a panel of Fluke associates talked about lessons learned and best practices for working, when some employees can work remotely and others must go to the calibration laboratory, service facility or factory to do their work. The panel of experts (pictured from left to right above) included:
Chad Dodds, Manager, Technical Support and Training
Jeff Gust, Chief Corporate Metrologist

One of the qualities of Fluke Calibration test and measurement equipment is excellent longevity. With regular care and maintenance, Fluke calibrators can last for many years and become staples of the calibration lab. Moreover, many of our customers pride themselves on their ability to repair older equipment, making Fluke Calibration products assets that provide a return on investment for decades.
When we say a calibrator is “end of life” or "end of service" it can be easy to assume we mean any...

MET/CONNECT Calibration Integration Software
MET/CONNECT, our new calibration management software API, allows you to use MET/CAL software without an asset management application. In other words, you no longer need MET/TEAM Test Equipment Asset Management Software to run MET/CAL if you already use a different asset manager or if an alternative solution better fits your requirements. We’re partnering with other calibration asset management software vendors so you can use MET/CAL as you want to,...

How often should you calibrate?
The question isn’t whether to calibrate, it’s how often to? There is no “one size fits all” answer. In most cases the requirements vary depending on application, QA requirements, industry standards, performance, or safety regulations. Calibration is often the key to negating a recall, out-of-tolerance condition, or potential safety concern.
There are a few possible points to consider when reviewing calibration frequencies to help you decide what is best for your...

Dry-block calibrators vs. temperature baths: (left) portable temperature bath, (middle) hand-held dry-block calibrator, (right) standard temperature bath
Temperature sensors are typically calibrated by placing them in a stable temperature source and comparing their output to the output of a calibrated reference. Two common sources are dry-block calibrators and temperature baths, but which is right for you? Let’s start our dry-block calibrator vs. temperature bath analysis by defining each....

Fluke Calibration engineering fleet spans the globe, several generations, and numerous disciplines: covering both calibration and engineering disciplines. When the 8588A 8.5-digit Reference Multimeter and the 8558A 8.5-digit Multimeter launched, one engineer on the project humbly stated those advances were “simply clever engineering.”
What is innovation if not clever engineering that is directed towards solving customer problems?
Solving tough engineering challenges is what engineers do. It’s...
