Cal Lab has purchased a new Thunder Scientific Model 2500 Humidity Generator. It is a self-contained system capable of producing atmospheres of known humidities using the NIST proven, “two-pressure” principle. Virtually any humidity and temperature point may be generated, for any length of time. Humidity Range: 10 to 95% ±0.5 %RH, Temperature Range: –10 to +70 ºC ±0.06 ºC.

In addition to our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Cal Lab Company is accredited to ANSI/NCSL Z540.3, through L-A-B’s Metrology and Calibration Accreditation Program (METCAP).

This is a high-level of national achievement with which we are able to provide data to those specifying Z540.3 and Z540-1. We apply the requirements of Z540.3 to our own Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) which allows us to calculate the Probability of False Acceptance (PFA) for client calibrations. In doing so, we meet the requirements of the United States Navy, NASA, and others.
