Book your on-site calibration

<h3>On-site mechanical calibration</h3>
<p>Regular calibration of mechanical test equipment is crucial for keeping up the highest standards of quality and reducing the chances of long periods of downtime in future. Our mechanical calibration capabilities include all major parameters such as length, angles, mass, force, flatness and straightness.</p>
<p>DM’s on-site mechanical calibration service caters for all major measurement tooling gauges and a wide range of equipment including micrometres, torque devices and weighing scales.</p>


<h3>Rapid turnaround with on-site calibration</h3>
<p>On-site calibration from DM is ideal for businesses with a significant amount of process-critical equipment requiring bulk calibration. Whatever your requirements, DM will take care of your calibration needs promptly, rapidly and to the highest industry standards.</p>


<h2>Keep equipment downtime to an absolute minimum.</h2>
<p>We know the quicker your test equipment is calibrated, the more business you are able to complete; there is no quicker solution than same-day mobile calibration at your location.</p>


<p>On-site calibration is the process of conducting precision calibration and adjustments directly at the location where the equipment is installed and utilised. Unlike off-site calibration, which involves sending equipment to a calibration facility, on-site calibration minimises downtime by providing a convenient and efficient solution.</p>
<p>Highly trained technicians bring calibrated standards and equipment to the client&#8217;s premises, ensuring that the testing instruments are fine-tuned and meet specified accuracy standards within the actual working environment. This approach is particularly advantageous for industries where continuous operation is critical, offering a practical and time-saving alternative to off-site calibration services. On-site calibration can cut turnaround time from several days to several hours.</p>


<p>Careful consideration is required to decide on the best and most cost effective type of calibration for your business. The main factors to think about are the amount of equipment you have that needs calibration, how critical your test equipment is to your everyday operations and how costly equipment downtime is to your business. For businesses with a lot of equipment which is crucial to their ability to carry out mission-critical tasks (such as manufacturing), on-site calibration is likely to be the best option.</p>


<p>On-site calibration can meet the same standards as laboratory calibration when performed by qualified technicians using traceable reference standards. The key to ensuring comparable accuracy lies in the expertise of the calibration personnel, the use of calibrated equipment, and adherence to established procedures.</p>
<p>While on-site calibration offers the advantage of minimising equipment downtime and testing in the actual working environment, it requires meticulous attention to detail to maintain the same rigorous standards as laboratory calibration. DM offers the same range of calibration services with a guarantee of the same standards regardless of whether it is carried out at our lab or on-site. We are able to calibrate the same wide range of equipment on-site, with UKAS calibration also available.</p>


<p>The speed of mobile calibration depends on various factors, including the type and complexity of the equipment being calibrated, the number of instruments and the calibration procedures involved. Mobile calibration services are designed to be efficient and minimise downtime by bringing calibration expertise directly to the client&#8217;s location.</p>
<p>While some calibrations can be performed relatively quickly on-site, the timeframe may vary. Simple calibrations might take a matter of hours, while more intricate or numerous calibrations could extend the process. The advantage of mobile calibration is its convenience, allowing for timely adjustments without the need for shipping equipment to a calibration laboratory. The specific duration is typically determined by the scope and complexity of the calibration requirements.</p>


<p>An on-site calibration laboratory is a calibration facility which is set up within a client&#8217;s premises. The laboratory is equipped with calibrated standards and instruments by skilled external technicians. Clients benefit from the convenience of having calibration services brought to their location, reducing equipment downtime and minimising logistical challenges. On-site calibration laboratories are particularly suitable for large industrial facilities or research institutions with a consistent need for precision measurements.</p>
<p>A mobile calibration laboratory, on the other hand, refers to a portable unit that is transported to various client locations. This setup allows trained technicians to conduct calibration services on-site, directly at the client&#8217;s facility. It provides flexibility and efficiency, enabling timely calibration without the need for equipment relocation.</p>
