Laboratory Calibration Services: Types and Applications
Whether you’re a medical researcher, a hardware developer, or the foreman of a manufacturing center, you depend on reliable technology and equipment. Indeed, you need all the right tools to ensure the accuracy and precision of your work, to record test results, and to maintain a safe work environment. What’s more, you depend on those tools being properly calibrated to deliver useful information.
At Laboratory Calibration Services (LCS), that’s something we’re passionate about. We work with clients throughout Southern California, providing equipment calibration services that help assure the quality of their work. We’re known for our commitment to detail and our dedication to scientific results.
Our equipment calibration services span several different equipment types and applications; as you consider whether LCS might be the right fit for your own calibration needs, we invite you to learn just a little bit more about who we are and what we do.
What is Calibration?
Let’s start with an overview. When we talk about equipment or electronics calibration services, what exactly are we talking about?
In calibrating an instrument, whether that’s a simple thermometer, a pressure gauge, or something else, we’ll compare readings with those of a standardized instrument; in other words, we’ll check to confirm whether your piece of equipment gives the information that a perfectly-calibrated piece of equipment should.
Using that information, we can check for faults and potential problems in your instrument, then make any repairs or recalibrations needed to align your instrument’s readings with the standard.
Calibration matters because it ensures your tools and equipment are providing you with truthful information, preventing sloppy work mistakes that could force you to re-do projects and potentially lose productivity. Additionally, our laboratory calibration services help to ensure that your work environment meets all pertinent regulatory compliance standards. These are just a couple of the reasons why instrument calibration is so significant.
Types and Applications
Some of the specific types of calibration services we provide include:
- Electronics calibration services, including oscilloscopes and multimeters.
- Dimensional calibration services, such as height gauges, calipers, and micrometers.
- Thermodynamic and chemical calibration services, including different kinds of thermometers and pH meters.
- Electronic calibration services, which includes balances, scales, pipettes, and counting applications
- Torque calibration services, specifically focusing on winches and drivers.
- Calibration services for weights, heavy capacity scales, and other measuring devices.
- Pressure calibration services, specifically for pressure and vacuum gauges, and transducers.
Our technicians can provide either on-site or off-site calibration services for these instruments and many others; if you have any questions, feel free to reach out about our NIST traceable Southern California calibration services today.
As for different applications, the LCS team provides calibration services for a full spectrum of machinery and laboratory instruments. Here’s what our clients can expect from us:
- We perform full testing and calibration services.
- Following comprehensive diagnostics, we perform any necessary instrument repair.
- We validate the calibration of instruments and machinery and provide all necessary documentation.
The bottom line: As you seek to ensure that your machinery and lab instruments are accurate, precise, and legally compliant, we invite you to learn more about LCS and our Southern California calibration services.
