Air Flow Calibration for Enhanced Efficiency and Accuracy


Air flow calibration is essential for ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of systems that depend on precise air measurements. Whether in HVAC systems, laboratory environments, engine intakes or industrial installations, accurate air flow calibration directly impacts performance, safety and emissions. Regular maintenance and calibration of air flow instruments can help maintain reliability, prevent malfunctions, optimise energy usage, and ensure that systems are operating within regulatory or industrial requirements.

Why Is Air Flow Calibration Important?

Regular air flow calibration is critical for the continued efficiency and safety of systems that rely on air measurement. Accurate calibration helps ensure systems are operating optimally, preventing errors that could lead to costly repairs or downtime.

Advanced Air Flow Calibration Equipment and Techniques

Advanced equipment and techniques are now available to improve air flow calibration processes, making it easier to detect discrepancies and maintain consistent system performance. By investing in professional air flow calibration services, businesses can ensure their equipment operates at peak efficiency, reducing downtime and improving overall reliability.

Our Air Flow Calibration Laboratory Services

The air flow calibration laboratory is well-equipped to fulfil all calibration needs in a professional and prompt manner. We specialise in the calibration of volume and mass flow meters, for measurements of both batch collection and rate of flow. UKAS accredited calibrations can be undertaken on dry or atmospheric air, while standard traceable calibrations can also be completed on nitrogen, propane, carbon dioxide, argon, oxygen, or any mix of commercially available gases. As an independent laboratory, we can calibrate instruments across a broad range of equipment manufacturers, for most model types, outputs and communication protocols.

Why Choose Us for Your Air Flow Meter Calibration Needs?

Young Calibration offers first-class, worldwide solutions for all flow meter service and calibration requirements. We have provided ISO/IEC 17025 UKAS accredited air calibrations for over 20 years for a wide range of systems, including samplers, rotameters, flow calibrators, leak testers, ventilators, balometers and compressed air monitoring systems. Whether it’s low-cost meters like variable area flow meters or high-accuracy Coriolis instruments, our expertise ensures accurate and reliable calibrations.

Our Reference Measurement Systems and Calibration Technologies

Our reference measurement systems utilise a variety of technologies, including volume provers, toroidal venturi (sonic) nozzles, laminar flow elements (LFE), Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA), turbine and fixed ultrasonic flow meters. These technologies suit a wide range of meter types, applications and installations, and provide appropriate measurement uncertainty for each specific calibration.


Parameters

In our environmentally controlled laboratories, we can offer calibration for instruments up to DN200, across a UKAS accredited range from 1 ml/min to 1250 l/s (nominally 0.07 g/h to 1.5 kg/s). We can also accommodate balometers used for HVAC systems and anemometers used for volume flow measurement with respect to building extraction regulations.

We can also calibrate instruments at customer site, traceable to National Standards.
