Air Velocity Calibration

Our world leading air velocity calibration facilities are widely recognised across the world and provide accurate solutions for all types of anemometer and speed instrument calibration requests. Our universal wind tunnel provides accurate results in high and low speed operating modes. It has a variable diameter nozzle that can meet open jet air velocity calibrations from approximately 0.05 to 100 m/s. The facility can also be adapted to suit closed jet calibrations for air velocities below 2 m/s. Calibration services also include reverse low flow anemometer calibrations and for specific R&D requirements, constant temperature anemometers, 5 hole probes and yaw probes can be installed and calibrated.

Gas Flow Calibration

Our gas flow calibration services are widely used in various industries across the world including automotive, medical, environmental and process instrumentation industries. We use the latest technologies to reach high quality, accurate results. We are continually evaluating and developing our gas flow calibration services to ensure that we meet and surpass the changing requirements of gas flow calibration requests in the modern world. Our machinery is calibrated to meet local and national regulatory requirements that are in place across the world. Our laboratories are suitable for temperature and humidity control, calibrations are traceable to national standards and meet meters of up to 8 inches in diameter.

Water Flow Calibration

We provide water calibration solutions that are met using our four calibration rigs: Rig 1 – Flow 5 cc/hr – 0.1 lpm, Rigg - Flow 0.1 – 30 lpm, Rig 3 – Flow 10 – 2000 lpm, and Rig 4 – On site 1 – 1000 lpm. These four calibration rigs are able to undertake calibrations in a range of orientations and environmental conditions to meet your requirements. Our water flow calibration facilities are widely recognised and respected across the world and provide customers with accurate results. Our water flow calibrations are used for water flow meters in horizontal or vertical orientation. Services are provided to customers at competitive prices.

Oil Flow Calibration

Our oil flow calibration facilities are provided in our facilities based at Shoreham by Sea. Here, liquid calibration solutions are available for a range of temperatures and viscosities on various hydrocarbon based fluids. Our oil flow calibration services are widely used within the automotive, aviation and hydraulic industries. Specifications include: Flow 0.02 – 80 lpm at 25 - 140°C, Flow 0.02 – 350 lpm at 25 - 45°C, Flow 20 – 600 lpm at ambient temperature, On site 0.05 – 250 lpm and viscosity 0.6 – 200 cST.

Medical Calibration

Our medical calibration services are in place to offer solutions for EBME Departments, NHS Trusts and GP Surgeries. Our highly skilled and qualified test engineers use state of the art equipment to provide high quality, accurate calibration services to clients. We also offer onsite, offshore and cruise ship services which are made available via our field service engineers. These engineers carry more than 15 types of medical calibrators to meet many calibration requests that are required in remote locations. Our long term experience within the industry has led us to have trusted partnerships with top manufacturers. These partnerships enable us to continually expand our range of quality products, service, and repair options. All calibration equipment carries traceability back to national standards.

Temperature & Humidity Calibration

Temperature Calibration: these services include the calibration of chambers, dry blocks, radiometric thermal discs, liquid baths and more from a temperature range of -40 °C to 1200 °C on different types of probes and thermocouples. Our instrument range includes thermometers, thermocouples, PRTs and thermistors, thermal cameras and infrared meters.


Humidity Calibration: this service covers the range of 10 – 98% RH using our in-house HumGen Calibrator and larger environmental chambers for multiple or large instruments. We can calibrate various systems including digital indicators and probes, humidity generators, psychrometers, humidity recorders, tinytag sensors, thermohygrographs and transmitters.



Pressure Calibration

We are pleased to provide excellent pressure calibration services. Our laboratory features various balances and calibrators for gas and hydraulic pressure calibrations. Our experience in the industry has enabled us to build great relationships with many leading companies in the industry and we subsequently use a range of high performance equipment from companies such as Desgranges et Huot, Ruska, Budenberg, Druck and Mensor. We can calibrate instruments using air, nitrogen and oil. Examples include: analogue pressure gauges, barometers, digital pressure gauges, inclined manometers, liquid manometer, micromanometers, transmitters, altitude sensors and test gauges.

Oil Cooler Testing

We also provide calorimetric testing for oil and transmission coolers (water cooled or air blast models) via our calorimetric wind tunnels covering flow rates up to 100 litres per minute. Various coolers can be tested on a controlled specification transmission fluid or high performance engine motor oil both of which are monitored for accurate results. We can accommodate various coolers including those used in passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, performance race vehicles, military and marine applications.
