Chemical Manufacturing Calibration Services

The manufacturing of chemicals is highly regulated with stringent compliance, documentation, and traceability requirements driven by organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). To comply, there are several standards to satisfy including quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), and ASTM International Standards.

Transcat offers specialized calibration services for equipment and tools to assist chemical manufacturers in meeting these challenging regulatory requirements and ensure the accuracy, reliability, and safety of their production processes and products. 

In chemical manufacturing, the calibration of equipment and tools is crucial for ensuring accuracy, reliability, and safety. These are a few of the many types of equipment, tools, and measuring instruments that Transcat can support: 

• Heating and Cooling Systems 
  Maintaining precise temperature control during chemical reactions, distillation, crystallization, and other processes is important to ensure product quality, yield, and safety. Transcat calibration services cover a wide range of temperature measuring devices and sensors plus the calibration of freezers, and ovens, to meet stringent standards.
• Pressure Monitoring 
  Proper pressure control helps prevent overpressure incidents, leaks, and equipment failures. Transcat calibration services for pressure gauges, transmitters, and pressure indicators are designed to increase measurement accuracy and control in reactors, vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks.  
• Flow Measurement  
  Calibration of flow meters, flow controllers, and flow sensors is critical for the accurate measurement of fluid flow rates in pipelines, reactors, and processing equipment. Precise flow measurement ensures proper dosing of raw materials, additives, and catalysts, as well as efficient distribution of products during filling and packaging. 

In addition to the above applications, Transcat offers services for a variety of test and measurement instruments required in the measurement and testing of chemicals.

• pH Measurement  
  Proper pH calibration ensures the effectiveness of chemical reactions, control of process conditions, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Transcat offers pH meter and conductivity meter calibration services which are essential to the accurate measurement of acidity or alkalinity in chemical solutions, process streams, and wastewater.  
   
  Concentration Analysis - analytical instruments such as spectrophotometers, refractometers, and chromatographs to manage chemical concentrations, purity, and composition. 
   
  Density Measurement - density meters and hydrometers to monitor the product quality and ensure consistency in liquids, solutions, and suspensions.  
   
  Viscosity Control - viscometers and rheometers used to measure and control fluids in chemical processing, blending, and formulation.  
   

Mitigating hazards in chemical manufacturing facilities is essential to protecting personnel, equipment, and the environment. Transcat service disciplines address compliance requirements for the calibration of safety instrumentation such as gas detectors, flame detectors, pressure relief valves, and more.  

It is as important to maintain scales, precision balances and case weighing, metal detectors, X-ray inspection systems, temperature and humidity controls through-out materials movement. For temperature and moisture-sensitive chemicals, we offer a Warehouse Temperature Mapping Validation Service to ensure products are stored safely.
