About this file

This document is a calibration standards specification for panel meter calibrators to be procured by the Department of the Navy under solicitation number N6426724R0347. The specification details technical requirements for panel meter calibrators including safety, design and construction, electrical power sources, environmental requirements, performance metrics for voltage, current, power and frequency outputs, and maintainability. Panel meter calibrators are to meet Class 3 ruggedization for Navy shipboard and shore-based laboratory use, have dimensions under 15x11x15 inches and weight under 35 pounds, and provide measurement capabilities including DC voltage from 1.25mV to 800V and AC voltage from 1V to 750Vrms at accuracies from 0.075% to 0.3% of indicated value. The calibration standards specification establishes baseline performance expectations for panel meter calibrators to be acquired and used by the Navy for in-place calibration of equipment.
