If your line of business involves weighing, measuring or processing products to consistently high standards of quality, you’ll be familiar with the process of calibrating your critical equipment. But have you ever considered an on-site calibration? With same-day results and minimal disruption to your processes, our on-site calibration services can save you time and money.
Why is Calibration Of Equipment Important?
Regular calibration of your critical equipment is important wherever quality and accuracy are a priority. You want your instrumentation to perform consistently over its lifetime, which is where scheduled calibrations can prove extremely useful. Enlisting the services of a calibration expert like GNW Instrumentation can give you peace of mind that your equipment is delivering valid and accurate results within the manufacturer’s specified tolerances.
Who Is Responsible For Calibration?
Ultimately, it is your responsibility to ensure your instrumentation is regularly calibrated. However, GNW Instrumentation’s skilled and experienced technicians are only too happy to help you develop an efficient inspection and calibration programme. We can devise a calibration schedule that suits your specific operational requirements, performing swift but thorough calibrations as often as you need them.
Is Calibration A Legal Requirement?
In most cases, instrumentation calibrations are not a legal requirement. However, if your company has chosen to adhere to specific quality standards, such as ISO 9001, you will be required to undertake a thorough calibrated equipment procedure to operate within those standards. If your line of business is governed by the Weights and Measures Act 1985 – for instance if you use a weighbridge for commercial purposes – you are legally obliged to ensure your weighing and measuring equipment is calibrated.
What Is On-site Calibration?
Most calibrations are carried out in a certified laboratory. However, sometimes this approach isn’t suitable. In which case, an on-site calibration is the ideal solution. An on-site instrument calibration involves a mobile technician visiting your premises to perform a calibration in-situ. The upshot is fast, accurate and reliable calibration testing to suit your schedule, with major savings on shipping, downtime and potential breakages.
What Is The Process Of An On-site Calibration?
By their nature, on-site calibrations are quick and convenient. We work with you to arrange a convenient time and date for a GNW technician to visit your premises. Equipped with the latest testing equipment, our technicians can carry out your on-site calibrations with minimal disruption or interruption to your operations. We carry out fully traceable, standardised on-site calibrations that deliver same-day results and total peace of mind.

GNW can calibrate the following types of instruments on-site at your premises:
-On-site gauge calibration
-On-site flow meter calibration
-On-site instrument calibration
-On-site pressure gauge calibration

What Is The Requirement For On-site Calibration?
Generally, if you have large, fixed, sensitive or essential items that can’t be sent away for testing or instruments that need to be calibrated as part of an overall system, then chances are you will require an on-site calibration. In which case, one of our knowledgeable GNW technicians will visit your premises to calibrate your instruments for faster, more cost-effective calibrations that won’t interrupt your operational efficiency.
