Our calibration services include measuring of a variety of forms of gauges including: blocks, rings, plugs, as well as electronic distance meters and linescales such as engineering rules, graticules, tapes and surveying staffs.  We also have the capability to measure optical flats and the roundness of an object or to perform 3-dimensional coordinate metrology on our traceable CMM.

Our Accredited Calibration Services:

Our typical turn-around time 10-20 working days. Please contact us to book your items in for calibration.

Full IANZ scope is available here(external link).
