These include calibrators for Pt-100, thermocouple simulation, temperature, pressure and electrical signals and range from hand-held instruments to complete calibration workstations and custom-designed workshops. Haven is supported by a network of agents/distributors worldwide. Quality is integral to the Company’s successful business strategy and ISO9001 accreditation was awarded in 1992.
