UKAS-accredited (no. 4338) calibration services for process equipment
Our fully equipped calibration laboratory (no. 4338) is accredited to ISO 17025 by UKAS. Here, we calibrate temperature sensors and instruments using temperature-controlled chambers, environmental chambers and a number of temperature baths.
We also provide electrical and overpressure or vacuum calibrations within the laboratory. Working in this specialist facility means our engineers and technicians are equipped with fully calibrated and traceable measurement standards at all times. It also enables us to calibrate our customers’ instrumentation, which enables fast turnaround times.
Our highly competent and well-equipped calibration engineers also provide a wide range of ISO 17025 / UKAS-accredited calibrations on customer sites.
Our current UKAS scope can be referred to here.
Our calibration services also include a wide range of traceable calibration parameters that help our customers to meet their own internal quality and technical requirements, as well as external standards such as Nadcap AMS2750 / AMS2769. Our services also help to ensure that the plant is operating correctly, efficiently and – above all – accurately. This means you can be confident that your product will meet quality expectations and that test results are reliable.
Calibration also helps you to understand the performance of your production equipment, resulting in reduced product failures, increased reliability, less downtime and decreased production running costs. And remember: If equipment fails to meet calibration requirements or is not running properly, our engineers can quickly make adjustments or conduct repairs, saving additional call-out costs. Calibration also forms an integral part of our ServiceCare planned preventive maintenance contracts.
