Avery Weigh-Tronix, a leading UK based metrology calibration provider, has opened a new 'Calibration Select Laboratory' at its Soho Foundry site in Birmingham. A dedicated calibration laboratory to offer a 5-day turnaround on the calibration of torque, pressure, temperature & electrical equipment, and mass weights.

The studies show that normal time span for metrology calibrations in the UK is in between 7-15 days. Leading to businesses paying a premium to have items calibrated on-site due to time imperatives or duplicating the number of items required for a procedure to use in rotation while others are sent off-site for calibration. With the recent changes to the ISO standards for calibrating torque tools, the process of equipment calibration is quite difficult to achieve when working on-site at customer premises or in a mobile laboratory.

Whereas, Calibration Select reduces equipment downtime by guaranteeing items are gathered, calibrated, and returned within 5 days. The turnaround time is made possible thanks to its state-of-the-art testing equipment, upheld by experienced technicians and custom online system for direct access to calibration certificates & asset details. Especially expedited by a unique technician collection service, carried out by a network of over 120 companies service technicians across the UK. While the central location in Birmingham provides easy access to significant UK road networks.

“Based on our customer’s requirements for a single service provider for all types of metrology calibrations, we’ve expanded our offering to benefit our customers whilst developing a unique service model that has not been seen in the marketplace before. This enables us to deliver a guaranteed 5-day turnaround and provide our customers with the peace of mind that their equipment will fully conform with quality standards,” explained Andrew Fox, Business & Service Delivery Manager, Avery Weigh-Tronix.
