Caliper Calibration
Calibrationhouse ensures calipers deliver precise dimensional measurements, supporting accuracy in engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance applications.
What is caliper calibration?
Caliper calibration ensures that calipers, whether digital, dial, or vernier, are measuring accurately across their intended range. This involves comparing the caliper’s readings against a known reference standard to verify measurement precision and ensure reliability in dimensional checks.
Why is calibration important for calipers?
Calipers are used across many industries including metalworking, engineering, and manufacturing, where accuracy is essential. Even though they are robust instruments, environmental conditions and frequent use can affect their performance. Regular calibration helps:
Maintain precise and consistent measurements
Prevent quality control issues and rework
Ensure compliance with internal standards and audits
Extend the service life of your tools
Does Calibrationhouse offer on-site caliper calibration?
Yes, Calibrationhouse offers both on-site and laboratory-based calibration services for calipers. On-site calibration provides a convenient and efficient solution, especially for companies with larger inventories, while our County Durham-based lab is equipped for more in-depth inspection and turnaround.
What types of calipers can Calibrationhouse calibrate?
We routinely calibrate a wide range of caliper types, including:
Dial Calipers
Digital Calipers
Vernier Calipers
Outside Calipers
Micrometer Calipers
Our technicians are fully trained and use traceable standards to ensure reliable and accurate results.
How often should calipers be calibrated?
Most manufacturers, including Mitutoyo, recommend calibration at least once a year. However, calibration intervals should ultimately be based on how frequently the instrument is used, the environment it’s used in, and the criticality of the measurement.
Is calibration traceable to national standards?
Yes, all caliper calibration carried out by Calibrationhouse is traceable to national standards. This ensures your instruments are compliant with quality management systems and suitable for use in high-precision environments.
