Is there a significant difference in cost between sending the instrument for calibration and on-site calibration?
Leave a message
There is a big difference. Compared to sending the instrument for calibration, on-site calibration is significantly more expensive. The following are the particular distinctions:
Type of Calibration
Price Range
Extra Expenses
Instrument Sending for Calibration (just the Fluke temperature measurement equipment needs to be calibrated)
A single Fluke 1524 inspection device will cost between 1000 and 2000 RMB for calibration.
There are no other expenses; only the cost of shipping the equipment is covered.
On-site calibration (factory calibration of hot runner sensors)
Base on-site cost including calibration fee: between 5,000 and 10,000 RMB
The number of sensors calibrated determines the additional fees for on-site engineer service and travel, which range from 200 to 500 RMB for each additional sensor.
Extra Information:
Prioritize on-site calibration when calibrating your own Fluke inspection device because it is less expensive and satisfies all metrological criteria; on-site service is not required.
A 10-chamber hot runner system typically costs between 8,000 and 12,000 RMB, which is three to five times more than on-site calibration, if a plant needs Fluke's official on-site calibration of hot runner sensors in batches.
The hot runner calibration prices at CNAS-accredited third-party metrology institutions in the majority of China are only 1/3 to 1/2 of Fluke's official on-site service, making them more affordable. Fluke's official on-site service is not necessary for general needs.
