ISO-compliant instrumentation.McIntyre says that if an organization is ISO 9001:2015 certified, it needs to address Clause 7.6a Control of Monitoring and Measuring Devices, which states: “Where necessary to ensure valid results, measuring equipment shall…be calibrated or verified at specified intervals, or prior to use, against measurement standards traceable to international or national measurement standards.”
New monitoring systems provide certified integral or redundant references that facilitate calibration verification via accredited and traceable means, and, thus, can have their measurement calibration regularly verified in situ, removing the risk and cost associated with taking the instruments out of service.
E+H’s Promass 200 Coriolis mass flowmeters (Figure 1) are used to monitor natural gas or other hydrocarbon feeds to furnaces and boilers for GHG emission monitoring and to provide certified integral and redundant calibration verification. “These are calibrated and can be verified in situ via attested (TÜV) and traceable means, which addresses the ISO 9001:2015 Clause 7.6a trace-ability requirements,” says McIntyre.
