Vaisala, a global leader in measurement technology, has launched an innovative new instrumentation service, ‘Vaisala Circular’. Developed for applications where measurement accuracy and uptime are critically important, Vaisala Circular is a comprehensive service platform designed to ensure that measurements are as accurate, uninterrupted and reliable as possible, in the long-term.

Under Vaisala Circular, customers have a dedicated pool of measurement probes, securely stored and maintained at Vaisala’s service centers. When calibration is necessary, customers simply order replacement probes from Vaisala online and swap them in – thereby minimizing measurement downtime. Batches of used probes then circle back to Vaisala for recalibration, storage and re-use. These refurbished probes retain Warranty for the full term of the Circular agreement.

Explaining the significance of the new service, Shan Gao, Director of Vaisala’s Global Service Line, says: “As the designer, developer and manufacturer of measurement probes, we are in the best position to maintain them and deliver long-term value for customers. Our testing, maintenance and calibration capabilities are so rigorous that probes are returned to operation with appropriate certification, and in ‘as-new’ condition. When Vaisala probes are used and maintained according to specifications, they can be expected to last for more than a decade.”

By assuming responsibility for probe management, Vaisala Circular delivers long-term peace of mind to customers, providing reliable, accurate measurements and enabling process optimization and waste reduction to improve sustainability.

The range of measurement parameters included in the Circular service is the widest currently offered in its market and includes humidity, dew point, temperature, carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide.

Summarizing, Shan Gao says: “Circular is a good example of Vaisala’s determination to develop life-long partnerships, offering customers increased operating uptime and reliable measurements, with predictable instrumentation and maintenance costs.”
