Power Generation & Utilities
Steam, water, and boiler instrument calibration for power and utilities
Generating stations and utility plants depend on instruments that measure steam flow, feedwater, drum level, and water chemistry under demanding conditions. We calibrate, verify, and repair that instrumentation and coordinate the work with outage schedules and operating crews.

Where calibration shows up
Instruments across the steam and water cycle
From makeup water to the steam header, power and utility systems take measurements at every stage to control combustion, manage equipment, and account for output.
Steam and feedwater flow
Vortex, differential pressure, and Venturi meters that measure steam production and the feedwater delivered to boilers.
Boiler instrumentation
Drum level, pressure, and temperature instruments that operators and control systems use to run boilers within their limits.
Water chemistry
Conductivity and pH analyzers on makeup water, condensate, and blowdown, where readings guide treatment and blowdown rates.
Utility distribution
Flow and pressure instruments on district heating, chilled water, and plant water systems that serve multiple buildings or customers.
Common instruments
Instruments we calibrate and repair for this work
Power and utility plants combine high-temperature steam service with water analytics. These are the device types we see most often.
Services
What we handle, from first check to replacement
Many power and utility instruments can only be worked on during outages or low-load periods, so we help plan that work in advance.
On-site calibration
Calibration of transmitters, analyzers, and temperature instruments in place, coordinated with outage windows and plant operators.
Verification
Checks that confirm whether steam, water, and analytical instruments remain within tolerance between full calibrations.
Troubleshooting
Diagnosing steam flows that do not balance, drum level indications that disagree, and conductivity readings that drift between samples.
Repair
Repair of transmitters, analyzers, and flow meter electronics, with calibration afterward so the instrument returns with a current record.
Equipment sales
Replacement transmitters, flow meters, and analyzers rated for the temperatures, pressures, and water chemistry in your system.
Calibration program
Why calibration matters
Power and utility measurements affect efficiency, equipment life, and the figures used to account for output.
01
Accuracy
Steam and fuel calculations rely on flow, pressure, and temperature inputs. Calibrated instruments keep those calculations grounded in real values.
02
Reliability
Boiler and water chemistry instruments operate in harsh conditions. Regular calibration shows when a device is starting to wear.
03
Reduced downtime
Working instrument calibration into planned outages reduces the chance of an instrument problem forcing an unplanned one.
04
Documentation
Certificates record instrument condition for maintenance programs and audits, and can be viewed, downloaded, and shared in the online portal.
