Recalibration of Maximus meter

Our equipment requires re-calibration once every two years.

Re-calibration and testing would usually take a minimum of two working weeks for Maximus DCVG meter.  Customers tend to think it’s just a matter of sticking it on a machine and re-calibrating it but our equipment is specialist precision equipment and needs testing and calibrating thoroughly by hand.  It’s important it is done properly because the equipment is then being flown back across the world back to you if it has been tested and calibrated in a rush and you receive equipment back that has not been properly tested it’s a waste of your time.  That is why it should always be calibrated with us because we have the expertise to do it properly and as efficiently as possible and we do a thorough job rather than a rushed job.  We also have the spare parts necessary if it needs repairing. 

Here is an example of the testing routine required:

1. Charge battery for 24 hours
2. Test battery to see if it needs replacing.
3. If it needs replacing charge new battery for 24 hours.
4. Test equipment indoors.
5. If not working, dismantle equipment and reassembling, isolating the parts that are not working, this maybe several times until the problem is isolated.
6. Calibration again
7. Once tested and working indoors, the equipment will be taken out onto mock pipeline and tested on the mock pipeline.
8. If not working back to isolating the parts that are not working, so going through the above processes again.
9. Calibration again.
10. Testing outdoors again.
11. Contact customer for approval of the purchase order.
12. Creation of Calibration documentation.
13. Booking in with the courier for shipping back.

Here is an average of the timeframe it would usually take with a queue of other customers; you should allow the below timeframes:

Traditional DCVG meter 2-3 weeks

Quantum meter 2-3 weeks

Maximus meter 3-4 weeks (Maximus is effectively two meters inside one enclosure an analogue meter and a Digital meter and so it's almost double the amount of labour time for Maximus)

During busy times it may take longer and if the equipment requires more repairs or waiting for component suppliers to deliver it may take longer than the average times above.
