Ohmmeters / Resistance Meters
Ohmmeters / Resistance Meters
The Laboratory offers calibration service for ohmmeters or resistance meters ranged from 1 mΩ to 10 TΩ.
Single range ohmmeters or resistance meters are normally calibrated at 5 cardinal test points. For multi-range equipment, calibration will be performed at the full range level for all working ranges and linearity check will be carried out at 5 cardinal test points, for one meter range selected by the client.
Calibration for ohmmeters or resistance meters can be performed at any test value within 1 mΩ and 10 TΩ. However, measurement uncertainties will be higher at non-decade valued test points.

Insulation Resistance Testers
Insulation Resistance Testers
The Laboratory offers calibration for DC Insulation Resistance Tester with output test voltage not exceeding 1 kV for resistance range from 0.1 MΩ to 600 GΩ or 5 kV for resistance range 10 MΩ to 600 GΩ.
The tester under test will be calibrated against the high-valued standard resistors of the Laboratory. At each calibration point the indication on the tester will be compared with the value of the applied resistance and the output voltage of the tester will also be measured.
As test leads that are used with a tester may have leakage resistance, it is advisable that the client submit these leads for test together with the tester.

Electrometers
Calibration of Electrometers
The primary function of traditional electrometers is to measure an electrical potential (volts) or charge (coulombs). Nowadays, electrometers are also designed to perform current and resistance measurements.
SCL has been accredited to calibrate electrometers for the following test parameters:
- Electric Charge: 0.1 nC to 2 µC
- DC Voltage: 0.1 mV to 1 kV
- DC Current: 1 pA to 20 mA
- DC Resistance: 1 MΩ to 10 TΩ
(Note:- p, n, µ, m, k, M, G and T are SI prefixes, representing:
p: pico- or 10-12
n: nano- or 10-9
µ: micro- or 10-6
m: milli- or 10-3
k: kilo- or 103
M: mega- or 106
G: giga- or 109
T: tera- or 1012)

AC Voltmeters
Voltage Standards
Analogue and digital AC voltmeters covering the ranges 1 mV to 1000 V, and 20 Hz to 1 MHz (<2x107 V-Hz) will normally be calibrated against the Laboratory AC voltage calibrators.
AC voltmeters will normally be calibrated at 5 test voltages for one range to establish the scale linearity. For multi-range voltmeters, additional measurements will be made at full range for all the other ranges.
Linearity check for other ranges may be offered upon request at additional charge.
For precision AC voltmeters requiring calibration at very high accuracy, AC-DC transfer technique will be used.
