I. Introduction
II. Market Demand Analysis
Demand in the Industrial Production Field
In industrial fields such as manufacturing, chemical, oil and gas, and power, pressure measurement is a key link in the production process control and quality inspection. In order to ensure the safe operation of production equipment and the stability of product quality, enterprises need to regularly calibrate a large number of pressure gauges. For example, in the chemical enterprise, the reaction kettles, pipelines and other equipment all need accurate pressure monitoring, and the accuracy of the pressure gauge directly affects the control of the production process and the product quality. With the continuous expansion of the industrial production scale and the improvement of the requirements for production efficiency and quality, the demand for pressure gauge calibration services in the industrial field shows a steady growth trend.
Demand in the Scientific Research Experiment Field
In scientific research laboratories, various experimental equipment and experimental processes often require precise pressure control and measurement. Scientific researchers have very high requirements for the accuracy and reliability of the pressure gauge, so they need professional calibration services to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the experimental data. For example, in the research of material science, some material preparation and performance test processes have strict requirements on the pressure conditions, and high-precision pressure gauges are needed for monitoring, and regular calibration is required to ensure the accuracy of measurement. The continuous increase of scientific research projects and the improvement of the scientific research level make the demand for pressure gauge calibration services in the scientific research experiment field also gradually increase.
Requirements of Laws and Regulations Promote Demand
Many countries and regions have formulated relevant laws, regulations and standards, requiring enterprises to regularly calibrate measuring instruments (including pressure gauges) to ensure that they comply with the metrology regulations and safety production requirements. For example, in the field of special equipment safety supervision, the pressure gauges on boilers, pressure vessels and other equipment must be calibrated according to the regulations, otherwise the enterprise will face legal liabilities and penalties. The strict implementation of these laws and regulations makes enterprises have to pay attention to the calibration work of the pressure gauge, thus further promoting the demand of the pressure gauge calibration service market.
III. Development Trends
Professional and Fine-grained Services
With the continuous subdivision of the market demand and the improvement of the customers' requirements for the calibration quality, the pressure gauge calibration service will become more and more professional and fine-grained. The calibration institutions will provide customized calibration schemes for different industries and different types of pressure gauges to meet the specific needs of the customers. For example, for the high-precision laboratory pressure gauges and the pressure gauges in special working conditions in the industrial production, the calibration institutions will adopt more professional calibration equipment and methods, provide more detailed calibration reports and data analysis, help the customers better understand the performance and error situation of the pressure gauge, so as to carry out more accurate pressure measurement and control.
Application of Intelligent Calibration Technology
With the development of the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence technology, the intelligent calibration technology will be gradually applied in the field of pressure gauge calibration. The intelligent calibration system can realize the functions of automatically collecting pressure data, automatically analyzing errors, automatically generating calibration reports, etc., greatly improving the calibration efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, through the analysis and mining of a large number of calibration data, the error prediction model of the pressure gauge can be established to predict the error change trend of the pressure gauge in advance, and provide more timely calibration services and maintenance suggestions for the customers. For example, some advanced calibration equipment can transmit the pressure data to the cloud server in real time through the wireless transmission technology, carry out data analysis and processing, and then feed back the calibration results and suggestions to the users.
One-stop Service and Comprehensive Solutions
Customers are more and more inclined to choose the calibration institutions that can provide one-stop service and comprehensive solutions. In addition to providing the pressure gauge calibration service, the calibration institutions will also provide related value-added services such as technical consultation, training, equipment repair and maintenance. For example, provide the customers with the selection suggestions, installation guidance and use training of the pressure gauge to help the customers better use and maintain the pressure gauge. At the same time, for some enterprise customers, the calibration institutions can provide the overall measurement management solutions, including formulating the calibration plan of the measuring instruments, establishing the measurement management system, assisting the enterprises to pass the measurement certification, etc., to help the enterprises improve the measurement management level and reduce the measurement risk.
International Cooperation and Market Expansion
With the development of economic globalization, international trade and cooperation are becoming more and more frequent, and the pressure gauge calibration service will also gradually go international. The domestic calibration institutions will strengthen the cooperation with the international well-known calibration institutions, learn the advanced calibration technology and management experience, improve their own technical level and service quality, to meet the needs of the international market. At the same time, the domestic calibration institutions will also actively expand the international market, participate in the international competition, and provide high-quality pressure gauge calibration services for the domestic and foreign customers. For example, through the international certification and accreditation, improve the international popularity and reputation of the calibration institutions, and attract more international customers.
