Application notes
Practical notes on pressure instrumentation, sensor replacement, analytical workflows, and traceable calibration planning.
A practical guide to choosing Ametek products, Jofra process instruments, and pressure gauges—plus the traceability question behind which Fluke multimeter should I buy.
Procurement manager explains why the Ametek M&G analog pressure gauge, Ametek-Jofra thermocouple & RTD calibrator, checkweigher, 1577 insulation multimeter, and how to calibrate Mettler Toledo pH meter all point to the same rule: total cost beats sticker price.
A practical QA checklist for accepting new industrial measurement instruments. Covers calibration certificates, nameplate verification, functional tests, IO-Link master configuration, Agilent HPLC fittings, and support registration.
Calibration certificates give a false sense of security when the reference chain drifts. A quality manager explains the hidden costs of trusting unverified measurements and how to check the whole system — not just the sticker.
An instrument tech’s pre-order checklist for buying industrial thermometers, multimeters, and thermal cameras—built from six documented mistakes that cost nearly $8,000.
A cost controller explains why measurement quality—from Ametek digital pressure gauges to pipette calibration and vacuum filters—directly affects how customers see your brand.
After 300 emergency calibration calls: industrial instruments don't fail suddenly—they drift for months. Here's what causes it, what it costs, and how to catch it.
A field service engineer recalls an emergency call involving an Ametek level transmitter, a One Pro LT thermal imaging camera, a clamp on ultrasonic flow meter, and a Sensus water meter—and explains why diagnostics matter more than parts.
A calibration specialist explains how to calibrate a Mitutoyo micrometer step by step—and how fake gauge block certificates and a last-minute Ametek brand store rescue saved a $75,000 audit.
After 12 years and $42,000 in measurement mistakes, I compare digital vs analog pressure gauges—and why Ametek brands often win on traceability, not just accuracy.
