Is Coventry Gauge
an approved UKAS laboratory? |
Yes Coventry Gauge
is lab 0002 which is the oldest laboratory in the country. |
How often should I
calibrate my gauges? |
Re-calibration of
gauges depends on your own specified cycles. Most companies
run an annual re-calibration. This is so that the gauges are
looked at at least once a year. If you use gauges more often
and in a harsh environment, consider a more frequent re-calibration
date. Conversely, if a gauge is only used once a year, its re-calibration
requirement could be moved out to once every 2-3 years. It’s
an individual company defined period. |
Do you calibrate instruments? |
Yes in addition to
our accreditations for thread and plain gauges we also hold
a wide range of other accreditations for a range of measuring
instruments. |
Can you do on site
calibration? |
Yes usually we can
arrange for this service. |
Can you look after
all of my calibration needs-even for items which you do not
hold accreditations? |
Yes we work closely
with other UKAS labs to provide you with a full calibration
service. |
Do you calibrate gauges
manufactured by other companies? |
Yes we can and to
almost any national and international specification. |
