High-temperature thermocouple
calibration
The most up-to-date temperature calibration service in the UK is available from Sira Test and Certification, following its purchase of a unique spherical calibration furnace
The long-established specialist in calibration, testing and certification, Sira Test and Certification, is now able to provide UKAS accredited calibration services for thermocouples across the 250-1300C temperature range for devices used in such applications as aerospace, steel, refining, glass and ceramics Many processes in these industries are critically dependent upon temperature, and Sira has invested in a unique spherical calibration furnace to provide the most up-to-date temperature calibration facility in the UK

After the closure of EECS
Following the closure of Electrical Equipment Certification Service (EECS) by the HSE, Sira is trying to establish how a suitable service for EECS customers can be maintained in the UK
A prime concern for customers is delivery on time, to the necessary technical specification, and on budget.
It is for this reason that Sira has developed this improved service for temperature calibration.
The innovative, spherical design of the calibration globe provides a very stable environment ensuring temperature uniformity.
Conventional tube designs can present problems, namely variable temperature gradients at the ends of the tube, demanding careful positioning of the thermocouples and making repeatability of measurements more difficult to achieve.
Ray Hewett, Sira's technical manager explains, " We are now able to deliver UKAS-accredited temperature calibration across the whole spectrum from -80C to +1300C, guaranteeing among the best measurement uncertainties found anywhere in the UK, +/-1.2C at 250C and +/-3C at 1300C.
Increasingly focussed on turnaround times, we believe that Sira delivers one of the fastest services available, without compromising quality.".
