Steel Rule Calibration
Calibrationhouse ensures steel rules deliver precise reference measurements, supporting accuracy in dimensional calibration, manufacturing processes, and quality assurance applications.
What is steel rule calibration?
Steel rule calibration ensures that rulers, straight edges, yard sticks, and other linear measurement tools continue to provide accurate measurements in line with manufacturer specifications. While often considered basic instruments, when used for process control or product quality checks, these tools must be calibrated to meet ISO9001 standards.
Why should steel rules be calibrated?
Even simple instruments like steel rules can become inaccurate over time due to wear, changes in temperature, storage conditions, or frequent use. If a ruler is being used to monitor production or perform critical measurements, calibration is essential to prevent errors that could affect compliance, quality control, or product performance.
How often should a steel rule be calibrated?
Although steel rules are robust and typically don’t drift much in measurement, Calibrationhouse recommends checking them annually, especially if they are used in controlled or quality-critical processes. Their calibration interval can also be based on usage level and operating environment.
What steel rule calibration services does Calibrationhouse offer?
Calibrationhouse provides both onsite steel rule calibration and laboratory-based services from our County Durham facility. We can accommodate one-off calibrations or batch calibrations as part of larger asset lists. All calibrations are traceable to national standards, with competitive pricing and fast turnaround times.
What types of rules and edges can be calibrated?
We calibrate a wide variety of linear tools, including standard steel rulers, precision line gauges, straight edges, and yard sticks. Whether used in workshops, labs, or production lines, Calibrationhouse ensures these tools meet required measurement standards.
