Application notes
Practical notes on pressure instrumentation, sensor replacement, analytical workflows, and traceable calibration planning.
To troubleshoot pressure transmitter failures, you often need to look past the instrument. A process tech explains why Ametek pressure gauges and transmitters get replaced too often, and how test tools like a 302+ AC digital clamp meter or a Fluke 117 can change your diagnosis.
A quality manager’s 15-minute verification protocol for Ametek equipment—Crystal pressure gauges, CO2 sensors, and more. Includes a quick Fluke capacitor test tip.
An emergency instrument support veteran explains why diagnosis beats panic-buying, when to call Ametek official support, and how a C2 thermal camera, an Ametek-Jofra thermocouple & RTD calibrator, and basic knowledge like how to turn off a Mitutoyo digital micrometer can save real money.
A quality inspector's 5-step checklist for verifying test equipment before accepting it—covering rented electronic test equipment, battery test instruments, Profinet encoders, the MR176 moisture meter, and thermal cameras like Topdon and FLIR.
Should you buy that digital clamp meter or rent a thermal camera? A buying-side comparison of direct purchase vs. Ametek - Jofra electronic test equipment rental, with real lessons on cost, calibration, and support.
A 7-year maintenance veteran compares DIY calibration vs accredited lab calibration using $14,000 in hard-earned mistakes. Includes how to calibrate an Extech pH meter, when a Fluke 117 multimeter needs official calibration, and why micrometer heads and Ametek calibrators demand NIST-traceable certification.
After 200+ emergency instrument orders, a procurement specialist explains why transparent availability and honest pricing beat brand reputation — whether you're comparing Starrett vs Mitutoyo calipers or spec'ing an optical fork sensor.
A practical procurement checklist from a buyer who sources Ametek instruments for plant and lab teams—covering specs, documentation, calibration, total cost, and authorized channels.
A procurement manager compares Ametek vs. generic sensors on total cost of ownership — covering the Ametek brand store, sensors test & calibration, differential pressure transmitters, the absolute encoder ATM60, and when a simple Sensus water meter reading is all you need.
A quality manager's story about a Brookfield Ametek viscometer, a Fluke 179 multimeter, and a near-missed audit that taught a hard lesson about calibration deadlines and the value of certainty.
