Beamex Blog: Temperature units and temperature unit conversion 09/07/2018
The temperature of an object can be defined by the average kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules, a definition for temperature that we can understand relatively easily. Kelvin is the unit of fundamental physical quantity called thermodynamic temperature (T) and is currently defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water (exactly 0.01°C).

Data Integrity in calibration processes 12/11/2017
Since the impacts of the breach of data integrity can be enormous, it is something that should be a high priority, especially in pharmaceutical and regulated industries. Data integrity is the maintenance of, and the assurance of the accuracy and consistency of the data over its entire life-cycle.  Read an article that discusses the main steps towards better data integrity, ALCOA and ALCOA plus, issues that could cause data integrity and the first trap to avoid for consumers – fraud drugs. Full Story...

Download white paper on how to prepare for calibration in extreme environments! 30/10/2017
Before performing calibrations in hazardous (Ex) areas, there are several things to consider to ensure safety. Typical industries with hazardous areas include chemical and petrochemical industries, offshore and on-shore oil and gas, oil refining, the pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage, energy production, paint shops and mining. Download the white paper here... Full Story...

Data Integrity in Calibration Processes 20/06/2017
In this article, we look at the data integrity more from the calibration process point of view, and focus mainly on the pharmaceutical and regulated industry. Topics like data integrity in general and the ALCOA plus concept are briefly discussed. Since the impacts of the breach of data integrity can be enormous, it is something that should be a high priority. Download the free white paper and find out why! Full Story...

Calibration uncertainty for non-mathematicians 06/06/2017
Being aware of the uncertainty related to the measurement is a very fundamental concept and you should not really make any measurements unless you are aware of the related uncertainty. The paper is designed for people who are planning and making the practical measurements and calibrations in industrial applications. Download this free white paper! Full Story...
