A calibration rig for calibration and/or re-calibration of flow meters () and/or flow meter calibration carts () is described comprising: a source () of pure sterilized water or a source () of a sterile conductive solution, a piping manifold () connected to the source (), at least one flow meter () connected to the source () via the piping manifold () and/or at least one flow meter calibration cart () connected to the source () via the piping manifold () and a drain pipe () connected to each flow meter () and to each flow meter calibration cart () to guide liquid from the flow meter () and/or the flow meter calibration cart () to a drain ().

Calibration rig

An Arrangement for the measurement of a level of a medium in a container the arrangement allows for removal of the microwave level measurement device, without opening the container, which allows use of standard connectors. The arrangement comprises: a mounting section surrounding an opening of the container; a tubular adapter comprising a first standard connector located on a first end of the adapter and a second standard connector located on a second end of the adapter, which is mounted on the mounting section of the container by the first standard connector; an isolation window transparent for microwaves seating a passageway through the adapter having an outer rim, which is clamped between the mounting section and the first standard connector; and a microwave level measurement device, comprising a standard process connector to be mounted on the second connector of the adapter.

Level measurement arrangement

In order to provide means for allowing a time and cost effective use of measurement instruments () in industrial applications where high standard of hygiene need to be fulfilled, a disposable sterilizable liner () for a level, pressure or temperature measurement instrument () for measuring level, pressure or temperature of a product () in a container (), for use in combination with a disposable container liner () covering an interior of the container (), is described, wherein the measurement instrument () comprises: a sensing element () for sensing a physical quantity, and a process connector () for mounting the sensing element () on a counter connector () on the container (), wherein the liner () for the measurement instrument () is one integral element made out of an elastic material has a shape that exactly follows outer contours of the sensing element () and the process connector (), such that it forms a removable single use hygienic liner for closely covering all surfaces of the measurement instrument () exposed to the product () during measurement operation, and comprises a mounting section (), which in operation is clamped between the process connector () and the counter connector ().
