Pressure Calibration and Metrology (PR100)
Pressure is one of the most commonly performed calibration disciplines in industry, yet many technicians receive little formal training in the measurement principles and instrument behaviors that influence the quality of their results.
Pressure Calibration and Metrology (PR100) was developed specifically for calibration technicians, metrology professionals, instrumentation technicians, and quality personnel who need a practical understanding of pressure measurements as they apply to real-world calibration activities.
Rather than approaching pressure from a purely theoretical or engineering perspective, this course focuses on the concepts technicians encounter at the bench, in the laboratory, and in the field. Learners are introduced to the principles behind pressure generation and measurement while continuously connecting those concepts to practical calibration workflows, instrument behavior, and troubleshooting situations commonly encountered in calibration laboratories and industrial environments.
Throughout the course, special emphasis is placed on helping technicians move beyond simply recording values and toward understanding what those values mean. Learners develop the ability to recognize setup issues, identify abnormal instrument behavior, interpret calibration results, and determine when a measurement can be trusted.
Topics covered include:
• Pressure fundamentals and SI units
• Gauge, absolute, vacuum, and differential pressure
• Pressure generation methods and system behavior
• Mechanical pressure devices and Bourdon tube operation
• Electronic pressure transducers and transmitters
• Pressure calibration setup and safety considerations

Force Calibration & Metrology (FORCE100)
Force measurement plays a critical role in manufacturing, materials testing, aerospace, medical device production, and industrial quality systems. Despite its importance, many calibration technicians receive limited formal training in how force is generated, transferred, measured, and interpreted throughout the calibration process.
Force Calibration & Metrology (FORCE100) was developed specifically for calibration technicians, metrology professionals, quality personnel, and test technicians who require a practical understanding of force measurements as they apply to real-world calibration activities.
Rather than approaching force measurement from a mechanical engineering or machine design perspective, this course focuses on the concepts technicians encounter in calibration laboratories and testing environments every day. Learners are introduced to the principles behind force realization and measurement while continuously connecting those concepts to calibration workflows, uncertainty considerations, and troubleshooting scenarios commonly encountered in industry.
Throughout the course, students explore not only how force calibrations are performed, but why calibration procedures are structured the way they are. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding how setup conditions, alignment, adapters, and calibration execution influence measurement validity and uncertainty.
