Thickness Gauge Calibration
Calibrationhouse ensures thickness gauges provide precise material measurements, supporting accuracy in manufacturing, engineering, and quality control applications.
What is thickness gauge calibration?
Thickness gauge calibration ensures these instruments provide accurate measurements of material thickness, coating levels, or manufactured parts. Calibration involves verifying the gauge’s readings against precise reference standards to ensure consistency and reliability in industrial and engineering applications.
Why is it important to calibrate a thickness gauge?
Regular calibration of thickness gauges is essential to maintain accuracy, especially in quality control and manufacturing processes where material thickness is critical. Without calibration, readings may drift over time, leading to potential defects, non-compliance with industry standards, or increased waste in production.
Does Calibrationhouse offer onsite calibration for thickness gauges?
Yes, Calibrationhouse provides onsite calibration services across the UK for certain types of thickness gauges, ensuring minimal downtime for industrial and manufacturing operations. For more specialist devices, calibration is carried out at our dedicated laboratory in County Durham.
How does Calibrationhouse calibrate thickness gauges?
Depending on the type of thickness gauge, calibration is performed using different methods, including one-point calibration, foil calibration, and two-foil calibration. For ultrasonic thickness gauges, approved calibration blocks are used to verify measurement accuracy.
How often should a thickness gauge be calibrated?
Calibrationhouse recommends that thickness gauges undergo calibration at least once a year to maintain accuracy. However, for high-precision applications or frequent use, more frequent calibration may be necessary. Our team can provide guidance on the best calibration schedule for your specific needs.
What types of thickness gauges can Calibrationhouse calibrate?
Calibrationhouse calibrates a wide range of thickness gauges, including digital coating thickness gauges, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and mechanical thickness meters. If you have a specific brand or model, contact us to confirm compatibility with our calibration services.
