I have owned a Fluke handheld DMM for several years now, and have never had it calibrated. Is this something I can do myself? What kind of equipment/standards are required? Or do I need to send the meter to some lab to get calibrated? I just use this for hobby electronics, so it isn't too important that the DMM be super accurate. I was just wondering what was involved with calibrating one of these.

Best way is to send it in as the test equipment is expensive. Whoever sold it to you should be able to help find somewhere to calibrate it.
RS Components do it if in the UK

To calibrate it, you would need a calibrator such as the Fluke 5520A that would cost you between 20 and 30 thousand. If your just using it for hobby, what do you care if you get 5.000V or 5.011V? If you really need it calibrated email me, I work for a calibration house. But from what you have said, I don't think you should waste your hard earned money unless you are getting crazy readings.

What makes you think it needs calibration? If you are just using it for hobby work, then I would just test it on some common stuff like a fresh alkaline battery of 1.5 volts or your AC outlet of whatever you have locally. If you haven't mistreated it, I would not feel a need for a laboratory calibration. Didn't drop on concrete from a height or plug a jillion volts in while on the ohms scale? Fluke makes good stuff. Save your bucks. Its most likely within the tolerances you need.

Out of those, in reality Francisco Rodriguez. yet absolutely everyone who truly concept it became a huge deal for him to break a record it continues to be rather new and relies upon on a team who places you in truly some those circumstances is an fool. He blew 7 saves that year, so there cant be a fluke if he didnt carry out contained in the first position. The Rays went to the global sequence, only because their team is worse this year doesnt advise their very last season became a fluke. Brad Lidge didnt blow a keep very last year, it may were a fluke that he did THAT properly yet you are able to furnish credit the position credit due. Hes only no longer an identical pitcher now. The Diamondbacks are an identical because the Rays, its a diverse team, you cant evaluate them to very last year and say it became a fluke.
