Elias Brandt

Research Editor

Measurement methods, data logging, specification checks, price tracking and comparison tables.

Elias Brandt checks manufacturer claims against measured values at fishgoo and maintains the comparison tables and retest calendar. Before each test round, bench instruments are calibrated using an ice bath and boiling water, a reference standard and a 94 dB calibrator as appropriate to the tool. Order dates, delivery dates, retail prices and specification changes are logged together, with a changed part number prompting a flag for a new test. The role connects instrument calibration, product information and test updates with the desk's specification and price research.

How I test

Before every test round, Elias Brandt calibrates the bench tools: the data logger against an ice bath and boiling water, the spectrophotometer against a reference standard, and the decibel meter against a 94 dB calibrator. Every order date, delivery date, retail price and specification change is logged. A change in part number causes Elias to flag the product for a new test.
