Length and Dimensional

Length hero

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.

*Charge rates include measurements for central length and variation in length and if required a compliance statement to a specified documentary standard (e.g BS-EN-ISO3650). Charge rates do not include flatness measurements. Gauge block flatness measurements are an additional $23 per gauge.

 **Reporting fee negotiable where multiple similar reports are issued.

 ***Q refers to the quadrature sum of length independent and length dependent uncertainty components.
