Alpha Controls & Instrumentation Inc.

Every product on a shelf started as a measurement someone trusted. 🏭

Today's , a nod to the people keeping production lines running and standards met. We're proud to play our part, keeping the instruments behind those lines calibrated and accurate, so what gets built matches what was designed. ✅

Under The Scope: Pressure Calibration 📈

This one's not a brand new discipline, it's an upgrade. But a new primary dead weight tester just made it one of the most significant changes in this entire expansion.

With it, our uncertainties now reach as low as ±0.006%, down from ±0.02%. That kind of precision does more than tighten our own calibrations, it lets us calibrate reference standards for other calibration labs, including dead weight testers and high-precision calibrators. That's a capability few labs in Canada can offer. 🇨🇦👀

Here's everything our pressure bench now brings to the table:

✅ New primary dead weight tester
✅ Uncertainties as low as ±0.006%
✅ Calibrated up to 20,000 psi
✅ We'll even calibrate the gauges that calibrate everything else
✅ ISO/IEC 17025 accredited under our A2LA scope
✅ Rush service available

Two different customers, one capability: facilities managing their own gauges, and other labs needing reference-grade calibration for their own equipment.

We've got both covered. 🤝🏻

Happy ! 💊

Behind every accurate prescription is a pharmacist who takes precision seriously, something we deeply respect given the world we work in.

Thank you to pharmacists everywhere for the care and expertise you bring to patients every single day. 🙌🏻

Two labs can have the exact same procedures on paper and still walk into an ISO 17025 audit feeling completely different. 😬

One's confident their systems will hold up. The other's hoping nobody asks the wrong question.

The difference usually isn't the paperwork itself. It's knowing which parts of it an auditor is actually going to press on.

In the latest episode of , Marc walks through the five areas ISO 17025 auditors dig into hardest, the technical and management pieces that separate a lab that's audit-ready from one that just looks that way on paper. 🎥

Under The Scope: Sound Calibration 🔊

This one's brand new to our lab too, and it's built around a gap most facilities don't even know exists.

Here's the thing: many calibration labs only test sound level meters at two data points, 94 dB and 114 dB, at a single frequency of 1000 Hz. That covers the bare minimum, but it doesn't reflect the range of noise your workers actually encounter. 🚨

Our lab goes the the extra mile:

✅ Tested across 74–114 dB, at frequencies from 125 Hz to 4000 Hz
✅ Measurement uncertainty as low as ±0.2 dB
✅ Performed using the Omnical 1986 Sound Level Calibrator
✅ NIST-traceable standards, with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in development

We calibrate sound level meters, noise dosimeters, and environmental noise monitors, the instruments behind workplace safety, HSE compliance, and environmental monitoring. 🎯

Happy First Day of Fall! 🍂

Enjoy the crisp air while you can, because winter will be here in no time, and it tends to bring more than just cold weather. 👀

Storage areas that stayed perfectly stable all summer can behave completely differently once temperatures drop. Drafts, HVAC cycling, and outdoor swings all show up in ways a summer mapping study never caught. That's exactly why regulated facilities plan ahead instead of waiting for winter to test their storage. ✅

Our validation team can help you plan and execute that study before the season catches you off guard. 🌡️❄️

Let's get ahead of it together! ⬇️

Oxygen service cleaning isn't a certification you can skip and make up for later. 😬

An enriched oxygen line with hydrocarbon residue in it is a genuine ignition risk, not a theoretical one, which is exactly why general-purpose transmitters don't belong anywhere near this application. 🚫

The Michell (a DwyerOmega brand) Easidew EA2-TX is built with that in mind. ✅

It's available oxygen service cleaned for enriched oxygen environments, constructed in 316 stainless steel, with dew point measurement down to -110°C for reliable purity monitoring. 🥶

The right instrument, prepared the right way, is the part of the spec that actually protects the system. 🙌🏻

Without the trades, none of this works. ✅🛠️

Happy to the electricians, machinists, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists who keep industries running, often without much recognition until something breaks.

To every tradesperson out there, thank you for the work you do. 🙌🏻
