Making a mark in metrology
Metrology. It’s the science of measurement and its application. And it’s essential to industrial success, to keeping production lines, workers and businesses online, running and profitable. Because be it pressure, temperature, calibration, gas detection, you name it, accurate measurements support all sectors of our economy.
Central to that accuracy is Teltherm Instruments, an industrial instrument company offering a multitude of customised instrument options including pressure, temperature, calibration equipment, relief valves, flow, gas detection, level, and burner safety. It also exports, imports, supplies, manufactures, calibrates, certifies and repairs industrial instruments.
Calibration with Callaghan Innovation
Callaghan Innovation’s Measurement Standards Laboratory (MSL) has been a natural partner for Teltherm.
Teltherm Laboratory Manager Anne Evans says, “We lean on MSL to guide us and ensure the manufacturing and calibration work we do and the measurements we report are world class”.
“Our Teltherm and Homershams laboratories invoice in excess of $1 million of measurement results per year to all fields of New Zealand’s economy covering agriculture, dairy, pharmaceutical, aviation, manufacturing, health, food, beverage and more. If our measurements in the field of pressure, temperature, humidity, infrared and gas detection are not sound, then our work impacts the entire spectrum of the New Zealand economy.”
MSL meets this demand with facilities and staff ready and willing to provide first-rate metrology advice and capabilities to New Zealand organisations.
Accuracy leading the way
From modest beginnings 65 years ago, Teltherm has gone onto manufacture or source instruments that can now be found in industries throughout Australasia and around the world. In fact, the innovative company is the only manufacturer of industrial gauges in New Zealand,
Teltherm's metrology laboratory is International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) accredited in pressure, gas detection, temperature and infrared, while the Christchurch lab is also accredited in humidity.
The company has managed to successfully market its brand globally thanks to its short lead times and its flexibility in meeting client’s requirements and custom needs when it comes to manufacturing.
Evans says the Measurement Standards Laboratory continues to play a pivotal role, especially when it comes to product confidence.
“Calibrations apart, the instruments we manufacture here in New Zealand plus the instruments we import for our end users are all checked traceable to MSL - we can have confidence in the products we make and sell because the products are traceable to a reputable and local facility,” Evans says.
“The downstream effect of what the MSL team achieves is probably not easily visible,” Evans says. “MSL is near the apex of New Zealand’s measurement pyramid but its tentacles reach from the likes of Fonterra to the supermarket scales - every part of our society is impacted by the measurements we make. It is without reservation that I thank MSL for their guidance and I look forward to many years of growth ahead aided and fostered by our relationship with MSL.”
