Calibration and Testing Services

Calibration Services Include:

Weights and Weights Set Calibrations from 1mg to 30kg.

Temperature Calibrations from – 30 o C to 250 0 C for comparison calibration. These calibration are not accredited but ISO/IEC compliant.

Pressure Calibrations from 20 to 3000 psi- Types of instruments include gauges (oil operated).

Volume Calibrations from 5ml to 50L- Types of instruments includes volumetric glassware and provers

Dimensional Calibrations from 1mm to 300mm for calipers, micrometers, depth gauges and rulers.

Electrical Calibrations includes DC Voltage, DC Current, AC Voltage, AC Current and Resistance.

 Testing Services include:

• Gold Jewellery
• Concrete Block
• Testing for the compressive strength. Textiles

 You can rely on the Laboratory Services for:
