To satisfy the ever-increasing demands on the accuracy and application range of our flow sensors, it is necessary to subject our calibration technology to the same degree of continuous enhancement as our other products. In our laboratory we calibrate flow sensors on numerous test stands fitted with state-of-the-art equipment. Our testing facilities are ranked among the most accurate references in measuring and control technology worldwide. The DAkkS accreditation of our calibration laboratory for flow velocity, flow rate, volume flow rate as well as mass flow of gases according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 rounds off our range of calibration services.

We also extend our accredited and certified calibration services to flow measuring equipment from other manufacturers. We can also adjust non-Höntzsch instruments.
Höntzsch guarantee promise. A service you can rely on!
A complete and comprehensive calibration service with "as found" inspection, maintenance and adjustment, including DAkkS calibration, can be carried out in our laboratory in just one go, reducing costly downtime to a minimum!
Each calibration comprises:
and includes a free performance guarantee for the next 12 months, regardless of the age of the sensor.
If a sensor fails, we carry out the necessary repairs without charge, except for parts subject to wear such as vane wheels or components, not included in the specifications.

In character with our standards of high quality, our calibration laboratory is DAkkS accredited in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. A complete calibration service consisting of an "as found" inspection, maintenance and adjustment with DAkkS calibration, previously known as DKD, can be carried out in our laboratory in one transaction. DAkkS accredited calibration does not only apply to all Höntzsch anemometers, but also to those of other manufacturers like Sensyflow Thermal mass flowmeters as well as nozzles, orifice plates and V-Cone flow meters in accordance with the various parts of ISO 5167 (Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits running full).
Höntzsch sets standards in measurement uncertainties!
The volume flow rate of gases in the measuring range between 0.0022 m³/h to 5,500 m³/h can be DAkkS calibrated with a flow-dependent smallest measurable measurement uncertainty of up to 0.25 %. We calibrate your nozzles (Venturi nozzles), orifices and cone flow meters (V-cone) on our volume flow test bench to maximum accuracy in accordance with the various parts of DIN EN ISO 5167.
We calibrate the flow velocity of gases in the range from 0.1 m/s to 70 m/s, with a smallest measurable measurement uncertainty of up to 0.5 % (see list). Thanks to our high-precision differential pressure measurement system, measurement uncertainties of less than 1 % can be realized for the calibration of Pitot tubes in our wind tunnel. With this high-precision calibration equipment we run one of the most precise laboratories worldwide!
Additional DAkkS calibrations with the measured variables gas flow rate and mass flow rate as well as the volume of flowing gases and the mass of flowing gases are also possible. The measuring ranges can be found in the list.
What does DAkkS accreditation mean?
This accreditation of our calibration laboratory to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 is confirmation by the German Accreditation Body, that our calibrations are traceable to PTB (Federal Institute of Technical Physics) national standards and norms and ensures precision of the applied references. We guarantee that all our measuring instruments not within the scope of this accreditation are calibrated under the auspices of a certified quality assurance system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 using references which can be traced to national standards and norms.
These measuring devices are used in testing and regulating air conditioning systems in industry as well as in offices and clean rooms.
Volume flow measuring hoods have a funnel-shaped geometry and measures primarily the air velocity on a defined cross-sectional area. This special type of measuring device is held at air outlets to determine the volume flow. This inevitably results in requirements for calibration intervals and traceability.
We calibrate your volume flow measuring hoods, regardless of the manufacturer, type and age, with ISO 17025 or factory calibration certificate, both within a few days.
DKD is a body of accredited calibration laboratories under the auspices of the Federal Institute of Technical Physics (PTB). Höntzsch is a full member of the German Calibration Service (DKD), Technical Committee 11. Flow Measured Variables. The principal objective of the DKD is the advancement of the calibration service in terms of dissemination of the unit, especially in regard to promotion of information exchange between members and creating calibration guidelines which represent the best available technology.
In order to secure worldwide uniformity of the calibration practice for our international customers, Höntzsch works closely with other national and international metrological institutions. The objective will be achieved through intensive exchange of research findings and comprehensive, international comparative measurements. In close cooperation with national and international accredited calibration laboratories, we are working consistently towards further development of calibration techniques and the reduction of measurement uncertainties.
Höntzsch also extends its accredited and certified calibration services to flow measuring equipment from other manufacturers.
