Our place or yours? Those are the options when it comes to calibrating your instrumentation. Whether you’re a large company with a vast array of instruments or a smaller business with a handful of critical equipment, on-site calibration offers fast, efficient instrument calibrations. Your operations can carry on unhindered and you may find that staying on-site is actually more cost-effective. Here, GNW explains everything you need to know about on-site calibration.
What is on-site calibration?
With an on-site calibration, our experienced GNW technicians will visit your premises to calibrate your instruments. When you don’t have to ship equipment to an off-site laboratory, you benefit from faster, more cost-effective calibrations that won’t interrupt your overall productivity. You’re in complete control of when and how your calibration takes place, making the whole process incredibly convenient and stress-free.
Equally beneficial for larger companies with vast numbers of instruments as for smaller businesses with a handful of critical equipment, an on-site calibration can boost your operational efficiency and your bottom line. Some equipment simply can’t be sent away for testing, such as large, fixed and sensitive items. In other cases, instruments need to be calibrated as part of an overall system (pressure transmitters, for example).
Either way, when the instrumentation can’t come to us, GNW comes to you!
If you’re weighing up an on-site calibration vs off-site calibration, perhaps the biggest differentiator is: time. Both types of calibration services promise a rapid turnaround. However, with the process of on-site calibration, you’re talking same-day results, as opposed to several days with off-site laboratory testing (which is still quick, we must add!). Staying on-site also means you won’t incur any carriage costs or potential damage to items in transit.
What are the benefits of on-site calibration?
Choosing an on-site calibration provides you with a wide range of benefits. Chief among those are the time and cost savings that come with having a technician working at your premises. For all but the largest companies, carrying out your own testing simply isn’t a viable option. Certainly not if your calibrations are a regular but infrequent undertaking. On-site calibrations offer an efficient and effective solution that you can rely on.
Some of the major benefits of on-site calibration include:
- Rapid and reliable testing
- Minimal equipment downtime
- Boosts operational efficiency
- Convenient and controllable
- No hire, damage or shipping costs
- Standardised and traceable testing
What types of calibration can be done on-site?

In fact, we provide professional on-site calibration for a broad range of electronic and mechanical instrumentation. The following types of on-site calibration services are just some of the solutions we can offer you and your business:
- On-site gauge calibration
