Company Description
Established in 1988 and serving the agrochemical, manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical and oil & gas industries, we have built an excellent reputation for versatility and quality service that has made us one of the UK's premier engineering and instrument calibration laboratories.

We offer UKAS calibration in numerous fields including Electrical, Temperature, Dimensional, Pressure, Liquid Flow and Humidity, and we are constantly upgrading and improving our already substantial UKAS calibration capabilities. Our calibration services enable direct traceability to National Standards BS-EN-ISO/IEC 17025 and we can calibrate to individual company requirements as well, meeting the requirements of BS-EN-ISO 9001:2008.

We offer in-house and on-site calibration services, fiscal metering calibration, valve services, and test equipment sale and rental. We are registered with Achilles UVDB Utilities Vendor Database and FPAL First Point Assessment.

Electrical Calibration

We can calibrate all types of general purpose electrical instruments from a wide variety of industries in our UKAS electrical calibration laboratory, including but not limited to:

  • Analogue/Digital Multi-meters
  • Clip-on Ammeters
  • Frequency Timer/Counters
  • Insulation Testers
  • Low Resistance Meters
  • Oscillators and Signal Generators
  • Oscilloscopes
  • Potentiometers
  • Power Supplies
  • Resistance Boxes
  • Resistors
  • Shunts
  • Stop Watches
  • Tachometers
  • Temperature Indicators
  • Voltage References

All calibration is certified and within standard electrical and accelerometry parameters including AC/DC voltage and current, phase angle, resistance, capacitance, inductance, frequency step and amplitude.



Temperature Calibration

We have a new purpose-built temperature and humidity laboratory which houses chambers, liquid baths and dry blocks. This facility will enable us to continue to improve and enhance our temperature calibration services.

We can calibrate and certify the following types of instruments:

  • Infrared Radiation Thermometers
  • Liquid-in-glass Thermometers
  • Resistance Thermometers (PRT)
  • Temperature Block Calibrators
  • Temperature Data Loggers
  • Temperature Indicators and Recorders
  • Thermocouples

Calibration is done within these parameters:

  • Infrared Radiation Thermometers -15°c to +500°c
  • Liquid-in-glass Thermometers -80°c to +200°c
  • PRT -80°c to +660°c; (Electrical) -200°c to + 850°c
  • Temperature Block Calibrators -80°c to +1100°c
  • Thermocouples -80°c to +1100°c; (Electrical) -270°c to +1768°c


Pressure Calibration

Our UKAS pressure calibration laboratory capability has been expanded over the past decade to accommodate today's extensive range of industry instruments. We can calibrate and certify instruments including:

  • Air/Oil Dead Weight Testers
  • Anemometers
  • Barometers (Kew, Fortin & Aneroid)
  • Fiscal Metering
  • Gas Density
  • Gas/Hydraulic-Absolute, Differential, Gauge, Negative Gauge
  • Micromanometers
  • Orifice Plates to 30"

We also offer force calibration in the 0 to 5000 kgf range and torque calibration in the 0 to 1000 Nm range.

We can calibrate and certify gas density transducers and we can also produce a "User Gas" certificate for gasses of known composition.

We offer calibration and certification of differential pressure transmitters with digital or analogue output, with atmospheric "footprint" calibration performed after high static calibration.



Humidity & Air Temperature Calibration

Our new purpose-built temperature and humidity laboratory provides us with state-of-the-art facilities to perform calibration and certification on humidity and air temperature instruments, including :

  • Dew Point Meters
  • Digital Indicators and Probes
  • Humidity Generators
  • Humidity Recorders
  • Humidity Saturated Salts
  • Humidity Transmitters
  • Temperature Transmitters
  • Thermohygrographs
  • Tinytag Sensors

Calibration and certification is done within the following parameters:

  • Humidity:
    Measurement, Not Source atm 10% RH to 95% RH
  • Air Temperature:
    Temperature in air: -25°c to 100°c


Liquid/Gas Flow Calibration

We recently added liquid flow calibration facilities with new premises to house our liquid flow rigs. We are UKAS accredited for calibration of equipment such as:

  • Coriolis Flowmeters
  • Electromagnetic Flowmeters
  • Positive Displacement Flowmeters
  • Turbine Flowmeters
  • Ultrasonic Flowmeters

We offer the following liquid flow calibration:

  • 60 L/min and 2500 L/min UKAS Accredited Hydrocarbon Rigs (controllable fluid temperature enables viscosity matching to your requirements)
  • 600 L/min UKAS Accredited Water Rig
  • 2000 L/min UKAS Accredited Gas Flow Rig

Calibration of equipment such as Positive Displacement, Variable Area and Thermal Mass Flowmeters is available.



Dimensional Calibration

We offer UKAS calibration certification to ISO5167-1:2003 for orifice plates as well as a repair and manufacturing service.

Although there is no minimum size restriction, our maximum plate size is 36". A typical calibration encompasses a minimum of 160 individual measurements, all of which are recorded directly into a computer.

In order to calibrate orifice plates, we need to know the pipeline diameter, as that is what determines the tolerances of the orifice plate during the calibration process. We have a convenient form on our website for providing this information and enabling rapid delivery.

As well as performing calibration services, we also manufacture bespoke orifice plates. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Valve Testing Services

We were the first company in the UK to attain UKAS accreditation for pressure relief valves testing at our Great Yarmouth workshop, or on site.

We can produce pressure traceability to national standards via our UKAS Accredited Testing  Laboratory No 1828, providing some of the best uncertainties of measurements in the UK. The same services are also available on-site, even in the harshest of environments, with our mobile valve workshops.

We have almost 20 years' experience in the servicing, overhaul and certification of a wide assortment of pressure relief, safety and control valves for the oil and gas, power generation, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and process industries.

Certification and servicing is performed to the relevant standards API 527 and BS 6759.

  • Ball Valves
  • Butterfly Valves
  • Control Valves
  • Diaphragm Valves
  • Non-Return and Check Valves
  • Safety Relief Valves


Calibration Equipment Rental

With today's advanced technology, it is essential to have access to the most up-to-date measurement, monitoring and process simulation equipment. However, if this equipment is only used infrequently and briefly, holding it can be expensive in terms of purchase, storage, servicing and annual certification.

The solution to this dilemma is to hire the equipment, especially if it is urgently required. Our highly trained sales engineers will assist you by recommending the right product to hire for the job from our extensive variety of process simulation, measurement and monitoring equipment. All equipment is supplied fully serviced and with calibration traceable to National Laboratory
standards.

If we do not stock the equipment you require, we can source it for you.
