IKM Instrutek MTS500M Marine Calibrator Case

The zero point, stability and the acccuracy of measuring devices degrade over time, from the fresh water temperature sensors to the engine and HVAC pressure transmitters. This is typically caused by wear and tear, but can also occur from electrical or mechanical shock. Depending on the type of sensor, environment and placement, it may drift rapidly or over a longer period of time. At the end of the day you have to perform your calibrations if you want to trust your instruments on board.

A calibration is a comparison between a known measurement (a more accurate standard) and the measurement using your instrument.

A general rule of thumb is that the standard should be ten times more accurate than your own instrument. However, accuracy ratio of 3:1 may also be used in some cases. The objective of a calibration is simply to determine the accuracy of your measuring device.

Your instrument should be calibrated:

• According to recommendation of the manufacturer.
• According to class demands, IOPP certification etc.
• After any electrical or mechanical shock.
• Periodically (annually, quarterly, monthly).

Hidden costs and risks associated with un-calibrated devices could be much higher than the cost of the calibration.

The Marine Calibration Kit is a portable, all-in-one solution developed for calibrating sensors and instruments onboard vessels. It includes equipment for temperature, pressure, and electrical signal calibration, allowing fast, accurate testing in compliance with ISO and class requirements.

Yes, the kit is designed to be user-friendly with intuitive equipment and documentation.

The multifunction calibrator logs calibration results electronically. Data can be downloaded via USB, ensuring traceability and easy reporting for audits or compliance documentation.

Absolutely. We offer custom configurations depending on your calibration scope, including options for lower or higher temperature ranges, differential pressure, and specific vessel applications.

Yes, it comes in a robust, waterproof Peli™ case designed to withstand marine conditions, including vibrations, humidity, and salty air.
