Worldwide UKAS Air Velocity and Flow Calibration Services edit

Young Calibration Ltd. provides United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited flow calibration services to the automotive, utility, medical and environmental industries.

Founded more than a decade ago by automotive engineer Adrian Young, Young Calibration Ltd began offering its flow calibration services to the automotive industry, serving customers like BP, Shell, Ford, Visteon, JCB, Ricardo, Cosworth and Perkins.

Young Calibration has expanded over the years. With on-site flow calibration equipment that can serve a wide range of industries, the company offers high-end calibration services at competitive rates for customers worldwide.

The company's team of mobile calibration specialists performs on-site calibration and testing for clients in the UK, Europe, Asia and the United States. Young Calibration's onsite calibration engineers are among the leading specialists in their fields of expertise. Traveling as far afield as the US and the Far East, the engineers spend more than half their time at clients' own locations. Young Calibration's onsite experts can provide all calibration reference equipment, or simply provide experienced and expert support to a client's existing calibration systems.

Flow Calibration and Testing edit

Young Calibration has one of the most comprehensive flow calibration laboratories in the U.K. for calibrating fluid flowmeters up to 3 inches and air flowmeters up to 8 inches. The laboratories in Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex, UK, house over 14 flow calibration rigs, 2 calorimetric wind tunnels and a high velocity calibration wind tunnel. Recent additions to the fleet now includes a versatile mobile calibration vehicle, equipped for a range of flow, temperature, pressure, torque, dimensional and electrical calibration parameters.

The firm's experienced employees have strong backgrounds in engineering and quality assurance, and have more than 70 years of combined experience in flow calibration, air velocity calibration and thermal testing systems.

Air Velocity Calibration for Anemometers and Pitot Tubes edit

With an on-site modular wind tunnel, Young Calibration has one of the highest accuracy air velocity calibration facilities in Europe. The firm calibrates and tests wind speed measuring devices such as pitot tubes, vane anemometers, thermal anemeometers, yaw probes and cup anemometers for clients in wind energy, environmental, stack emissions, air tightness in buildings ATTMA, laminar fume cupboards and health and safety standards.

The wind tunnel facility, with a high accuracy laser doppler anemometry system and automated X, Y traverse mechanism, can offer air velocity calibrations in the region of 0.02 - 100 m/s, with a UKAS accreditation range of 0.05 - 80 m/s and a best measurement uncertainty of 0.45% +0.025 m/s. The company can provide on site calibration of wind tunnels and ducts using the laser doppler as a reference device.

Calorimetric Heat Exchanger Performance Testing edit

Young Calibration houses an extensive thermal testing facility which provides calorimetric heat exchanger testing services for radiators, intercoolers, chargecoolers, cab heaters, WCACC and oil coolers. Serving the automotive, marine and military industries,

Young Calibration's team of engineers and technicians handle a wide variety of thermal fluid testing requirements. The company operates two calorimetric wind tunnels for both passenger car and motosport applications. The first tunnel, which comprises of a 300 kW coolant, charge air and lubrication supply system can cope with most passenger car and small truck operating conditions, and also undertake cooler pack assessments whilst operating coolant, charge and oil cooler systems as a single test. The second high pressure wind tunnel can accommodate single seater racing vehicle ductwork, for complete radiator and ductwork system development, with duct velocities of 200 mph being currently tested.

Component Durability Testing edit

The Young Calibration test laboratory provides a range of electro-mechanical, thermal and vibration testing services. From PCB boards, batteries, pressure vessels, heat exchangers to complete assemblies, the company can test for thermal cycling, pressure cycling, burst, vibration, shock, altitude testing, electrical and thermal loading.
