SINGAPORE, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Revamped facility provides Southeast Asia customers with convenience, quality

assurance, and accreditation for calibration

Emerson's Southeast Asia Service Center is expanding the advantage offered to

its customers by adding the calibration of large flow meters to its offering,

resulting in an 80% reduction in service and line downtime for customers in the

Southeast Asia region.

Updates to flow calibration services include increasing line sizes from .10 to

4 inches to a much larger 12 inches, which increases flow rates from 0.05 to

3,000 kilograms per minute, and increase flow up to 12,000 Kg/min.

Prior to the addition of the new larger calibration stand, customers in the

region's oil and gas and chemical industries needed to ship larger sized flow

meters to testing facilities overseas to diagnose, repair or calibrate their

devices to factory standards. This process was not only time-consuming but

costly, often leading to shutdowns and delays.

Now the Southeast Asia Service Center has resolved the problem by offering

local calibration services for a broader range of instrumentation devices. This

saves customers time and resources since support specialists can perform

quality assurance, diagnostics, setup and repair on-site. As a result,

calibration and service turnaround times can be reduced from two months to two

weeks.  Aside from the new calibration stand, Emerson support and technical

specialists can now diagnose and troubleshoot flow meter problems and other

customer concerns remotely in Asia. This reduces overall cost, speeds up

operations and ensures safety for both customers and Emerson personnel in light

of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Service Center adheres to international standards, with an ISO

17025-compliant quality management system, which ensures that the laboratory

meets the technical requirements necessary to consistently deliver technically

valid calibrations. Accreditation from Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), a

signatory of ILAC-MRA, means that calibration results can be accepted in other

countries without additional testing or verification.

The existing service centre is compliant with Singapore Standards (SS)

re-calibration requirements namely SS660, SS648 which are related to bunker

cargo delivery. Emerson has been designated for the existing capability by

Enterprise Singapore, Weights and Measures as an Authorized Verifier (AV).  

With the AV status, Emerson is authorized to seal flow meters once they are

calibrated in the lab. This ensures compliance to regulatory and contractual

requirements for flow meters used for custody transfer applications. Emerson

plans to secure ISO17025 Accreditation and Authorized Verifier status for the

expanded capability as well.  It also ensures metrological traceability and

process reliability for laboratories and facilities from 14 Global Service

Centres operated by over 400 local service specialists in 14 different regions

worldwide.
