AFPSL - Reference Multimeter Calibration System

This purchase description identifies performance requirements for a high resolution, high accuracy digital reference multimeter (DMM). This reference multimeter is being purchased as a replacement to the current Fluke 8508A/01/AF, which serves as a base measurement standard to the precision measurement equipment laboratories (PMEL) across the Air Force. The reference multimeter shall enable and directly support the calibration of a multitude of test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE), including, but not limited to multifunction calibrators, standard decade resistors, voltmeters, battery analyzers/chargers, power supplies, countermeasure dispenser testers, precision millivolt simulators, gaussmeters, voltage dividers, capacitors, transconductance amplifiers, ohmmeters, handheld multimeters, etc. This DMM shall be multi-function with a minimum of DC Voltage, DC Current, AC Voltage, AC Current, Two-Wire Resistance, Four-Wire Resistance, and Capacitance measurement capability. It shall also have real-time Ratio measurement capability for DC Voltage, AC Voltage and Resistance functions via front and rear input terminals. The DMM shall be of sufficient quality and uncertainty, as described below, that it may be used as a stand-alone reference standard and transfer standard for many calibration procedures. This item shall be supported by and compatible with the calibration system described in part A of this purchase description. See attached file.
