AMETEK CTS equipment. AMETEK CTS does not know each customer’s Quality Assurance Policy, nor do we know how often the equipment is used and what kind of tests is performed during the life cycle of test equipment. Only the customer knows all the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment.
