Explore Liquid Flow Capabilities – Now Broader Than Ever
We provide both onsite and laboratory liquid flow meter calibration using advanced primary standards and manufacturer‑specific procedures. With flow coverage from 0.005 to 400 GPM, our ISO‑accredited facilities deliver high‑precision results for applications ranging from clean water and HVAC systems to corrosive chemicals and high‑purity manufacturing.
Our liquid flow calibration services support a wide range of processes, fluid conditions, viscosities, and meter types—ensuring stable, drift‑free performance across all operational environments.
Standard calibration will be performed using water at ambient temperature unless otherwise requested or the manufacturer calls out a specific fluid/viscosity. Upon request, we can perform calibrations with a viscosity range of 1 to 50 cSt (centistokes), using a combination of water and propylene glycol.
Model CFP-010
The CFP-010 flow calibrator was developed for the U.S. Air Force. With a flow rate of 0.005–10 GPM, this primary standard calibrator is meant for flowmeters in the 1/2” diameter range. Total System Uncertainty is +/- 0.05% (k=2) or better. Typically, 0.02% is realizable.
Model CFP-400
The CFP-400 flow calibrator was also developed for the U.S. Air Force. With a flow rate of 0.2–400 GPM, this primary standard is meant for flowmeters in the 2" diameter range. Total System Uncertainty is +/- 0.05% (k=2) or better. Typically, 0.02% is realizable.
Ensure your liquid flow meters deliver accurate, stable, and regulatory‑compliant measurements. Transcat’s broad flow measurement expertise eliminates the need for multiple calibration vendors while also providing the expertise and documentation needed for complete confidence in your flow data.
We calibrate a wide range of flow meters from most every manufacturer.
Liquid flow meters are essential to accurate measurement and control in industries including clean water processing, chemical manufacturing, medical device production, and energy systems. Over time, environmental shifts, fluid properties, wear, and mechanical stress can impact meter performance. Common causes include:
Sensor wear, turbine blade erosion, or internal deposits
Temperature or viscosity changes affecting meter coefficients
Signal drift or electronics degradation
Build‑up, corrosion, or contamination in process lines
Installation stresses or vibration
Flow profile distortions and system disturbances
From industrial process control to high‑purity chemical manufacturing, Transcat ensures your flow meters operate with the precision and reliability your applications demand.
