Acoustic Calibration Services
Sound Level Meters are classified by two different types (Class/Type 1 and Class/Type 2) and can often be known as Noise Meters or Noise Dosimeters. The different classes refer to the accuracy level of the results given by the meter with Class 1 being the more accurate of the two options.
For example, the use of Sound Level Meters is widespread across industry with the importance of issues such as Noise at Work Regulations, Building Acoustics and other forms of Environmental Monitoring being just some of the key reasons. Regular calibration of Sound Measuring Equipment is therefore essential in industry so users can be certain results being provided by the meters conform to the relevant British Standard BS EN 61672-3:2013.

Chemical Calibration Services
Electrical Calibration Services
We are specialists in electrical calibration and repair; our laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation Inc, (PJLA), in the field of electrical calibration and various other fields. Visit our Calibration Services page to see all of the services we offer.
Force Calibration Services
Regular calibration of Force Gauges will ensure that your gauges continue to provide readings within manufacturer specific tolerance. The sheer nature of these gauges means they are exposed to considerable forces during testing so measurements can drift over the course of time. AMECaL test Force Gauges in accordance with National Standards and all calibrations come with a traceable certificate (with before & after results as necessary) and label along with a standard complimentary clean. Visit our Calibration Services page to see all of the services we offer.
Gas Calibration Services
Calibration of Gas Analysers and Detectors is a highly required service, especially for those in the Construction, Civil Engineering and Utilities sectors. The Emergency Services (Police and Fire) have also been customers of ours in the past for Gas Calibration. It is a requirement of most of these industries that analysers are regularly calibrated in order to meet stringent safety standards. The fact that most Gas measurement equipment manufacturers recommend their instruments are calibrated at least every 6 months highlights the importance of accuracy of readings and the propensity for the measurements to drift.
Humidity Calibration Services
AMECaL offers humidity calibration services in accordance to the ISO 17025 international standard (ISO 17025 Humidity calibration) or the British National Standard (traceable Humidity calibration). To check our ISO 17025 accreditation schedule click here.
We offer both types calibration to a wide variety of instrumentation from many manufacturers. Calibration is important to ensure you can be confident in readings from test instruments. It can increase the quality of your products and improve customer satisfaction. Accurate monitoring of humidity can increase the efficiency of productivity in many aspects of production.
As with most digital measuring equipment, but even more so with hygrometers, there is a tendency for drift over time and use. Therefore, to provide confidence in the continued accuracy of your instrument, a regular calibration of Humidity measuring instruments is paramount.
Our company understands that every situation is different and that is why we are always open for custom quotes.
Mass Calibration Services
Scales and Balances are some of the most widely used pieces of equipment in industry and every day life. Think of airlines weighing baggage before it is put on the aircraft, bakers weighing ingredients before it goes in a product or the average person weighing themselves as part of a fitness program and you really can’t ignore the need for Scale Calibration and accurate readings from these important pieces of equipment.
Pressure Calibration Services
Pressure and Vacuum Measurement is recognised as one of the most sophisticated in the field of metrology, so it is important that highly accurate equipment traceable to National Standards is used to when checking and verifying Pressure Meters. This is where AMECaL’s lab and Pressure Calibration Service comes to the fore, with highly accurate standards allowing calibration of pressure gauges, transducers and calibrators from 0.1 Pascal up to 700 Bar
Torque Calibration Services
- Torque Wrench Calibration (Generally Mid/High Range Torque capability)
- Torque Screwdriver Calibration (Generally Low Range Torque capability)
- Torque Analyser Calibration (Broad spectrum Torque capability)
All Torque Wrench and Torque Screwdriver Calibration Services are performed using our highly accurate Torque Transducer Tester, where the Torque Analyser requires a more accurate measurement using what is known as a Dead Weight Tester. Torque Wrench Calibration is extremely important particularly in the Manufacturing and Automotive sectors where inaccurate torque equipment can lead to loose bolts and screws causing significant health and safety issues.
Temperature Calibration Services
Temperature measuring instruments are used in every day life by the NHS to take a patients temperature or by a food and drink manufacturer to ensure the ingredients they are using are kept at a stable temperature to ensure good quality. Inaccurate temperature readings could therefore provide significant health and safety risks, highlighting the imprtance for periodic Calibration.
Torque Analyser Calibration
A torque analyser (torque tester) is one of the most important test instruments used in quality control process. It helps to test or calibrate torque controlled tools like: electric, cordless and air screwdrivers, click torque wrenches, dial torque wrenches, electronic torque wrenches, torque screwdrivers and pulse tools. The instrument usually can measure in clockwise and counter clockwise directions and has built units converter (ex. in·oz, in·lb, kgf·cm, gf·cm and many more) for ease of use.
One of the most important thing to remember about any electrical and environmental test equipment is that it will lose its accuracy and precision over time. Due to temperature, pressure, humidity or incorrect human handling any too, like torque analyser,l should be recalibrated over time. To keep the equipment in proper working order it is advisable to perform these kind of service every 6 − 12 months. It should be done by accredited calibration laboratory like AMECaL.
Our company offers torque analyser calibration services in accordance to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 international standard (ISO 17025 torque analyser calibration) and the British National Standard (traceable torque analyser calibration). We understand that every customer has different requirements and our lab is always open for custom enquiries.
Luminous Flux Calibration
Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) have one very important characteristic which is the Luminous Flux (measured by unit of lumen). It is often mistakenly thought to be same as radiant flux. This is of course incorrect. Radiant flux is a measurement of total energy (visible and invisible) emitted by a source of light. The Luminous Flux is measured by using integrating sphere photometers. In simple words it is the measurement of brightness of a light source in terms of energy being emitted in the form of visible light. Luminous flux or Luminous Power is often used as a comparison criteria for light bulbs. Due to different manufacturing processes of Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) it is important to be sure that the final product of manufacturing process (ex. light bulbs, LED strips) will produce correct amount of emitted energy in form of visible light. Professional calibration of Luminous Flux is very important. Here, at AMECaL, we have special equipment and trained staff to perform this Luminous Flux Calibration for our customers. We have years of experience and thousands of happy customers and our brand is well known on the market of calibration services.
AMECaL is also one of the best brands of electrical and environmental equipment that is being used by professionals all around the world. We not only sell our own test instruments but also take an active part in research and development process of new calibration equipment.
