Mechanical Calibration Services Across the UK

Our mechanical calibration services cover several metrology disciplines including; Length, Force, Mass, Torque, Vibration, Pressure and Viscosity. The laboratory is housed within a temperature-controlled environment to maintain thermal stability of both the reference standards and instruments under test.

Accuracy and Traceability in Every Calibration

We realise the performance and accuracy of your mechanical, dimensional and physical test equipment is critical to your organisation success so we use high quality, reliable reference standards for our calibration tasks. We pride ourselves on providing professional mechanical calibration services to ensure your measurement instruments are accurate, reliable and traceable. Due to the frequent handling, mechanical shock and exposure to various atmospheric conditions, it is inevitable that mechanical instruments will be subject to drift. To understand this drift during its’ operational service, a regular calibration schedule is required to determine the measurement shift between subsequent calibrations and to determine tolerance limits for the measurement uncertainty budget.

Force Gauge Calibration

Force Gauge Calibration in tension and compression up to 50 kN for the calibration of load cells, force gauges and push/pull gauges. Additional test fixtures and adaptors are available to accommodate bespoke fittings and configurations commonly used in specialist or custom-built rigs.

Balance and Scale Calibration from 1 mg to 500 kg for the calibration of laboratory balances, benchtop balances, benchtop scales, floor scales, aircraft scales, hanging scales, personal weigh scales and load cell platforms. We also provide calibration services for high-capacity industrial platforms and trade-approved scales, ensuring conformance with commercial standards.

Viscosity Cup Calibration for an extensive range of cup sizes and procedural standards for paints, inks and varnishes, including Zahn cup, Ford cup, Shell, GardCo, Parlin, Fisher and Frikmar, covering all relevant standards from ISO 2431, ASTM D1200, BS 3900 (1971) and DIN 53221. All our viscosity standards are certified standards traceable to an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited supplier. We also support viscosity testing at controlled temperatures to simulate real-world application conditions.

ISO/IEC 17025 Compliant Calibration

All our mechanical, dimensional and physical calibrations are conducted under the guidelines of ISO/IEC 17025 throughout the laboratory process, including certificate reporting, measurements and traceability. A range of onsite calibration services are available for the support of automotive and aviation repair workshops. If you require, your calibrations can be added to our recall database for email reminders 30, 60 and 90 days prior to calibration due date.

Metrology Consultancy and Compliance Support

We are also able to assist with calibration support for pre-audit checks, quality control reviews and metrology consultancy. Whether you require a single item calibrated or a complete asset register maintained, our team is ready to support your compliance and quality assurance programmes.
