ABB opens new UK instrumentation service centre

ABB's Measurement Products business unit has opened a new service centre at Stonehouse, with state-of-the-art instrumentation, calibration, repair and training facilities.
Brian Hull, ABB's measurement products general manager for the UK and Ireland, says that the new facility is dedicated to 'return to base' calibration and repair services. A wide range of products – ranging from gas and liquid analysers to electromagnetic and differential pressure flowmeters and temperature probes – are supported. "The significant investment in a dedicated service centre demonstrates ABB's commitment to supporting the complete life cycle of our products for UK and international customers," comments Hull. The addition of a training suite inside the UK's largest instrumentation manufacturing facility enables ABB to offer an unrivaled calibration, repair and training centre," he adds. ABB operates six flowmeter calibration rigs at the Stonehouse site, supplied by a one million litre underground water tank. Hull says these rigs can be used to test virtually every type of flowmeter at rates from one millilitre to 2,700 litres per second. ABB is certified by UKAS (the United Kingdom Accreditation Service) and is the only company in the UK with a calibration rig accurate to within an expanded uncertainty of ±0.027%.
