Why Calibrate? Calibration is sometimes considered purely an overhead: We believe that a correctly calibrated item should save you money and so, in time, pay for its calibration. You should be able to rely on the instrument and so save wasted time and expense. Calibration is not a warranty or statement of how long an instrument will last or operate! Calibration is purely an indication that the instrument was found to be performing within the specified specification at the time of the calibration only. It provides confidence that the instrument has been, and is, operating to the manufacturer’s specification. If it is not, the calibration house will adjust and inform the owner of the adjustment made. At WISE-MAN we do this as a matter of course - we do not charge extra for this service. We make it easier for you, the customer, to spot adjustments by marking the adjusted measurement. Please remember:-
CALIBRATION IS NOT
*
A GUARANTEE THAT THE ITEM CALIBRATED
WILL WORK FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME
*
A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND
*
MEANING THAT THE UNIT IS NOW AS GOOD AS NEW
*
THE REASON THAT JUST BECAUSE THE LABORATORY ADJUSTED THE UNIT THAT A FAULT
IS NOW INSERTED INTO THE UNIT
*
IT DOES NOT MEAN THE CALIBRATION STANDARDS MADE THE UNIT GO FAULTY
Calibration Laboratory
Provides accredited calibration facility for force and crosshead displacement calibrations of materials testing machines. Calibrations are carried out at our customer's premises. We are able to calibrate force systems of materials testing machines in tension and compression mode as well as the crosshead displacement and long-travel extensometers of materials testing equipment. Holds accreditation for the calibration of push/pull type force gauges. These types of calibrations are carried out at our laboratory.
We offer facilities of repairs and service of the testing machines from a wide range of different manufacturers. Although we are able to carry out repairs on most major manufacturer's equipment, we have a unique and close working relationship with our manufacturers. They supply us with full technical backup and fast spares. Consequently, we are able to supply a comprehensive maintenance and support service for their machines in the field with the advantage of certification of their equipment through our calibration division. Our detailed knowledge of the range of machines has helped us to incorporate planned-preventative maintenance into our service work.
Objective -Our aim is to provide an efficient service/repair facility at competitive prices. A large proportion of our customers have been with us for many years. This has allowed us to build a close relationship and has allowed us to gain an insight into their business needs. In turn, this has enabled us to fine-tune the service we offer our customers. Some customers have a simple service/calibration visit - usually on an annual basis Some customers prefer more comprehensive planned-preventative maintenance cover and have a service/calibration visit plus a mid-year service visit. Other customers are on a service contract which as well as one of the options above includes a free call-out in the event of equipment failure.
Which type of calibration results
to use, and why calibrate anyway?
For reliable measurements it is recommended that all instruments be calibrated on an annual basis. Our technicians are specially trained in both the theory and the application of measurement instrumentation. Their know-how and experience assure you of the highest quality service available and quick turn around as well. Also, should repair services be required, WISE-MAN maintains a full line of parts in inventory.
