Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service for High-Voltage Material Testing Compliance
As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, we deliver a specialized Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service that ensures the accuracy, repeatability, and traceability of arc resistance testing instruments used in electrical insulation and high-voltage material evaluation. Our Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service supports manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality control departments who must demonstrate compliance with ASTM D495, IEC 61621, and regional electrical safety standards across the European Union, North America, and Asia. Every calibration is performed under our CNAS-accredited quality system, producing reports accepted by notified bodies, regulatory authorities, and global procurement specifications.
Instruments We Regularly Calibrate Under Our Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service
- High-voltage arc resistance testers — manual and automatic instruments for assessing the tracking and erosion resistance of solid electrical insulation
- Comparative tracking index (CTI) test apparatus — for determining the voltage at which tracking occurs on insulating materials
- Dry arc resistance measurement systems — with tungsten or stainless steel electrodes for ASTM D495 compliance
- Automated arc interruption and timing controllers — solid-state relays and microprocessor-based control units used in arcerimeter test setups
- High-voltage power supplies and step-up transformers for arc testing — open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current calibration
- Electrode assemblies and specimen holders — dimensional verification and alignment calibration per standard specifications
Core Calibration Parameters and Methods in Our Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service
- Open-circuit voltage and load regulation calibration per ASTM D495 and IEC 61621 — the arcerimeter's high-voltage output is measured across the full operating range using a certified high-voltage divider and precision voltmeter, ensuring the test voltage meets the required sinusoidal waveform and amplitude specifications.
- Short-circuit current verification at the electrode gap — the current flowing through a short-circuit across the electrode terminals is measured at the specified voltage settings to confirm the power supply can deliver the required arc current without excessive voltage drop.
- Arc interruption timing and sequence accuracy — the timing circuit that controls the intermittent arc application is calibrated against a traceable digital oscilloscope, verifying that the on and off intervals comply with the standard test program defined in ASTM D495 and related methods.
- Current sensing and arc detection circuit calibration — the sensitivity and response time of the arc detection circuitry are validated to ensure reliable detection of the conductive track formation and automatic test termination.
- Electrode geometry, weight, and alignment verification — the tungsten or stainless steel electrodes are measured for tip radius, angle, and spacing using a profile projector and precision gauge blocks, ensuring conformance to the dimensional requirements of the test standard.
- Resistance and capacitance decade verification for CTI and PTI testing — the built-in calibration networks are checked against certified reference resistors and capacitors to ensure accurate measurement of tracking index voltages.
Report Recognition and ISO/IEC 17025 Compliance
All calibration procedures described in this Arcerimeter Calibration Analysis Service are covered by our ISO/IEC 17025 scope of accreditation. Our calibration certificates are accepted by European notified bodies for electrical safety testing, by North American certification organizations referencing ASTM and UL standards, and by regulatory and procurement authorities across the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Whether you require annual recalibration of a single arcerimeter, a complete performance verification of a multi-station test laboratory, or a repair and adjustment service with full traceability, our laboratory provides the measurement accuracy and high-voltage expertise that the global electrical insulation testing industry demands.
