Meter Calibration Costs & Timescales

[Yooj]

I need to get my Fluke Multi-Function meter calibrated, and I want to conduct a quick straw-poll to see if I can get it cheaper.

To date, I pay in the region of £110 inc. VAT for a same-day turnaround...therefore what I am looking for is:

1. Meter type (multi-function or individual pieces)
2. Cost of calibration inc VAT
3. Same-day, i.e. drop off and wait, or send off (if send off, what was the turn-around)
4. Where was it calibrated
5. Level customer service?

Cheers

Where abouts are you?

My Fluke goes to Norwich, Less money than your paying and about 10day turnaround.

However I have recently heard about 'a man who can' who comes to you and does it while you watch and is very reasonable on prices!!!

Hi, tends to be personal preference really. I have had Kewtech testers, not multifunction, and they were good...This time around, I have gone for a Fluke multifunction, and to be honest, I cannot fault it.

The thing to consider is by having a multifinction tester, is that if it fails, then you are essentially without a tester while it is repaired...if you have individual testers, i.e. IR/Cont. EFL, RCD, etc, then if one fails, then at least you can use the others.

Don't forget megger in your deliberations...I think I might give them a try the next time I am on the market for a tester, as I used to have meggers years ago, and again, I could not fault them.

Good job, but it looks like they've bumped their prices since the last time I used them. £25.00 + £4.95. and return within 4days.

And I think we may be talking about the same guy.....OSCS, chaps name is Mike (NUMBER BY PM)

Circuit solution, I use a fluke 1651, my mate uses the latest kewtech, both are equally good, I paid £190 brand new, box and all leads but no instructions for mine on flea bay (GOT LUCKY) and he paid £600 for his from a good dealer.

Mine has been faultless and just needed calibration £80ish

Hope this helps

 

[coatesykid]
