Fluke unites six calibration product groups under new 'Fluke Calibration' brand

Fluke Corporation, a global leader in test and measurement technology, today announced it is consolidating its six calibration product lines under a single logo – Fluke Calibration.

“We know calibration and we understand that calibration managers, technicians and metrologists demand the best,” said Martin Girard, general manager, Fluke Calibration. “This unification will strengthen our ability to provide the best product performance and value and meet the high standards of these demanding customers.”

The change represents the unification of Fluke Calibration’s measurement disciplines, including electrical, RF, temperature, pressure, flow and calibration software. This initiative will bring customers a variety of benefits, including:

• Coordinated pre- and post-sales support and training programs, and better communications that make it easier to get help and answers when customers need them.
• A single, global Fluke Calibration Web site with product and application information about all things calibration, making it easier to find information about calibration products and applications.
• A more unified calibration software platform that provides increased convenience for labs that perform calibrations in multiple disciplines and makes it easier for calibration technicians to learn software across disciplines. More new products, faster.

On June 1, Fluke announced its acquisition of the Ruska and Pressurements product lines from GE’s Sensing and Inspection Technologies division. This addition enables Fluke Calibration to offer customers the strongest portfolio of pressure calibration products and solutions in the industry, backed by Fluke’s calibration-focused worldwide sales and support network. Ruska and Pressurements products will be branded “Fluke Calibration” following a brief transition period. Hart Scientific and DH Instruments products will also be branded “Fluke Calibration.”

Today Fluke Calibration opens a major exhibit at the National Conference of Standards Laboratories International 2010 Workshop & Symposium, held in Providence, R.I., at the Rhode Island Convention Center from July 25 through July 29. The new logo will be officially unveiled there. The company is displaying a variety of new calibration products, including:
