Appreciation post: hit 500 hours on the same test bench without a single calibration drift

Honestly, I was just logging my weekly checks on the old Fluke 5520A and the total runtime hit 500 hours exactly. Ngl, I was shocked because we usually see some drift after 300 hours in our shop's environment. Has anyone else pushed a calibrator this far without needing an adjustment?

That's actually insane, amyb54 might be onto something with the temp control. Our gear would never make it that far without drifting. Just shows how much environment matters, lol.

Wow, 500 hours is wild. Makes me wonder if your shop's temp control is just that much better than ours.
