UKAS approval for Coriolis flow calibration rigs

Krohne has five flow calibration rigs in the UK which are now accredited by UKAS to calibrate Coriolis mass flowmeters to ISO 17025, enabling supply according to the requirements of OIML R117

The Krohne reputation for industry-leading quality and reliability has been endorsed formally by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

The company's calibration facility at its Wellingborough-based plant has been awarded UKAS certification to ISO 17025.

UKAS is the sole accreditation body in the UK recognised by government to assess, against internationally recognised standards, organisations that provide certification, testing inspection and calibration services.

Krohne has five calibration rigs which are now the only dedicated rigs in the UK accredited by UKAS to calibrate Coriolis mass flowmeters.

They have been approved for testing mass and volume flow to 0.035 per cent and 0.038 per cent uncertainty respectively at flow rates from 1,125 kg per hour to 247,100 kg per hour.

The accreditation enables the company to carry out custody transfer calibration and seal instruments according to the requirements of OIML R117 without the need for customers to undertake additional on-site calibration.

This can save substantial time and money.

"Attaining UKAS approval is of great benefit to us," said Eddie Bridges, international product group manager for mass flow at Krohne.

"We can now demonstrate formally that we meet strict internationally recognised calibration criteria, which we will apply to all products we supply." The Krohne calibration laboratory has been given the number 0812 and is listed on the UKAS website.
