<p><strong>As a complete calibration house, we are able to offer equipment calibration for all sorts of equipment. This includes, but is not limited to:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Micrometers</li>
<li>Verniers</li>
<li>Thread gauges</li>
<li>Taper gauges</li>
<li>Height gauges</li>
<li>Gauge block sets</li>
<li>Surface plates</li>
<li>Torque devices</li>
<li>Pressure gauges</li>
<li>Weighing scales</li>
</ul>


<p>Different types of mechanical calibration include dimensional, force, pressure, torque, and mass calibration. These services ensure that measuring instruments like micrometers, load cells, pressure gauges, torque wrenches, and scales maintain accuracy and reliability, contributing to quality control and adherence to industry standards.</p>


<p>The mechanical calibration procedure can vary based on the type of equipment being calibrated. The procedure typically involves an inspection, comparison, adjustment and finally documentation. A calibration expert will inspect equipment for damage and wear, compare its performance against a reference standard, then adjust the instrument as needed to achieve the desired accuracy. This is then documented, as part of a traceable calibration process, where results are kept for record-keeping and compliance requirements.</p>


<p>Mechanical calibration is performed by qualified technicians using specialised equipment in a controlled environment. Instruments are set up and stabilised, followed by a series of measurements against certified reference standards. Necessary adjustments are made to ensure the instrument aligns with the defined accuracy and tolerance levels. Upon completion, a calibration certificate is issued to verify conformity with industry standards.</p>


<p>UKAS LAB 24 is a set of standards stipulated by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). It describes the requirements of calibration laboratories as applied to mechanical testing of materials. The guidelines describe how laboratories can demonstrate competence, measurement capability and traceability to the required standard.</p>
