ALTEK Process Calibrators

ALTEK Calibrators Loop, Process, RTD & TC Calibrators

Did you know that ALTEK Industries is the grandfather of the loop process control calibration industry? Ever since 1979, the ALTEK process calibrators originally set the standards of accuracy and convenience. Additionally, these standards help bolster the industry to where it is today. The process control industries could depend on ALTEK Industries to manufacture handheld calibrators with high accuracy standards. Also, ALTEK’s instruments precisely calibrate devices for oil and gas, water/waste water, chemical, power production, food processing, pharmaceutical processes, etc.

Retirement or Discontinuance of Older ALTEK Models

Most all, if not all, of ALTEK’s older process loop calibrators are experiencing retirement, discontinuance and are no longer available. This is due in part to component obsolescence, older design technology and, along with, higher performance available in competitive models. PIE Calibrators offers modern high performance designs to replace models that ALTEK no longer manufactures.

PIE Calibrators or PIECAL, New Kid On the block to the Rescue

Meet the new kid on the block, PIE Calibrators. PIE calibrators are the evolutionary update to the classic ALTEK line of the 1900’s. The new kid has the same parents (the same design team as the ALTEK). PIE Calibrators are shorter, thinner and lighter with sturdy switches and rubber boots. Outstanding features include back-lit displays, automatic stepping & ramping, “AA” batteries instead of 9V batteries. This save money with longer battery life. Additionally there are more thermocouple and RTD types with better accuracies and even easier to use. Plus many models have additional troubleshooting features not found on ALTEK or ANY other brand of calibrators. ALTEK’s remaining calibrators are WAY more expensive than the ultra-modern PIE Calibrators. Also, to make things easier with loyal ALTEK users, PIECAL uses the same model numbers. In addition, this minimizes the search effort in replacing the older ALTEK’s.

PIE Process Calibrators – Designed to Replace ALTEK Process Calibrators

Simplify your Day-to-Day Process Calibration Tasks

I & E technicians have to do more and more every day with less help and shrinking budgets. PIE Calibrators help you simplify your job with calibrators that are technician friendly. They are compact, easy to learn, simple to setup and accurate. PIE technician friendly calibrators are all about ease of use. PIE calibrators’ unique and intuitive EZ-DIAL Double Click Menu makes them simpler to setup than larger calibrators. Larger calibrators have complex button filled panels and confusing menus. Use a PIE Calibrator right out of the box instead of wasting time learning to use more complex calibrators.
