Site Calibration Services – Professional Traceability & Testing

We provide on-site calibration across a wide range of weighing and process instruments, backed by documented traceability to support compliance, quality, and audit readiness.

Yes—our service teams operate from our Head Office in Leicester and our Northeast Service Centre in County Durham, and we travel nationwide.

We have currently have 14 engineers located around the UK.

We calibrate equipment ranging from analytical laboratory balances and microbalances through to weighbridges, silos, and process weighing vessels.

Yes. In addition to weighing, we calibrate and/or verify instruments such as pressure, temperature, humidity, and other process/inspection assets listed on the page.

We provide PDF downloadable calibration certificates via our client portal, including as-found / as-left results, with certificates stored for quick retrieval 24/7/365.

For standard calibration visits, we state certificates are typically available within 12 hours of the engineer’s visit (UKAS certificates require review/sign-off) thus take a little longer to be approved and available online.

Online, this is one of the most common calibration questions. In practical terms, UKAS (ISO/IEC 17025) is generally positioned as the higher-assurance route due to independent accreditation and tighter reporting/controls, while traceable calibration can be suitable where accreditation isn’t mandated.

This is another frequent online question. Calibration frequency depends on usage intensity, environment, risk, and internal QA requirements—many industry sources suggest at least annual calibration for weighbridges, with more frequent checks where risk or throughput is high.

Yes—our field service team can organise periodic weighbridge calibration using a test unit up to 50 tonnes.

Yes. We position our service offer around minimising downtime through rapid response to breakdowns and routine preventative maintenance schedules, supported by detailed service reporting.

Yes—dynamic checkweigher calibration must replicate production conditions rather than being a single static comparison, and we describe our approach accordingly (timing, belt speed effects, and performance across the operating range)

We verify operation against manufacturer parameters using traceable test sticks, issue a calibration certificate, and also check rejects, sensors, belt speeds, and general head condition during testing.

We calibrate pressure measurement equipment from -0.95 to 100 bar g, including gauges, switches, transmitters/controllers, and pressure-related safety/test devices.

We handle simulation and calibration for common sensor types (e.g., PT100/PT1000, thermistors, thermocouples) and devices such as fridges/freezers, autoclaves, and chambers—and we also offer temperature mapping for ovens and other controlled environments.

For conductivity, we describe a standards-based approach: rinse the probe, immerse in reference solutions, adjust to each standard, rinse between solutions, and complete a final verification check with a separate standard.

Yes. We state we use UKAS-calibrated hydraulic force test rigs and can generate calibration certificates for various portable axle pads up to 12.5 tonnes.

Yes. Where loading with mass is difficult, our engineers can use a hydraulic force rig to carry out push-up/pull-down calibrations using reference load cells certificated to UKAS standards, and we advise on safe best practice for these applications.

Yes—our service range includes management of calibrated test weight sets, and we also reference weight comparison checks using our traceable calibration weights with certificates available via the portal.

The page directs customers to contact Micro Weighing Solutions if they’re looking for a dependable calibration partner for their industry and equipment, indicating the team can support across the full install base.
