CALIBRATION SERVICES
Balances:
Calibration of balances should be performed annually onsite, where the balance is used. These calibrations should be performed using Scientech’s recommended calibration weight specified for each balance.
Laser Detectors:
Calibration of laser power measurement detectors, with power meter, should be performed annually.
All Scientech detectors include a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, to document that you are getting the most accurate laser measurement possible.
Please complete the RMA form with the requested information so we can process your repair quickly and return the repaired product to you.
Excessive energy or peak power density can damage a detector. See Scientech’s Operating Manuals for safe operating limits. If your calculated specifications exceed those specified for the model, optical attenuation is often used as a solution. For Scientech P and SP pyroelectric detectors, we provide a damage test slide with each detector for pre-operation damage testing.
Electric substitution heater coils are available as an option that allows customer to perform their own field calibration. These electric heaters are only available for new detector purchases: add an “H” to the end of the detector part number when placing your order.
Calibrations will be performed within ten (10) business days after receipt of the detector unless during the inspection process damage is found. In the event damage is found, Scientech will contact the customer.
Sending your equipment for calibration without a Scientech RMA will result in slower service – please return that RMA form!
