Caliper calibration vendor
kgarrison:
My lab is starting to determine uncertainty for our various measurement equipment.
Does anyone have good recommendations for vendors to use (or stay away from) in the southwest part of the U.S.?
I have specifically been tasked with finding a vendor who calibrates calipers, but I know these vendors usually are certified to perform calibrations on several different pieces of equipment.
They would need to be up to ISO accreditation standards and be able to provide documentation of traceability to SI units.
Feel free to reply here or email me at kgarrison@sbcsd.org
Thanks in advance!

Are you going to use a measurement standard like a gauge block?
Julie Knapp:
We just got our gage blocks recertified for Colorado Bureau of Investigation and used Applied Technical Services out of GA. No issues and they had them back to us very quickly.
If you have not purchased gage blocks yet and want to, you can purchase them already certified. Then, depending on your specified recert. schedule, you would just need to send those out. You can then use your gage blocks to do your calipers and micrometers; although I prefer a glass slide micrometer to test my digital micrometer...here is a website you can check out:

there are other sites, this is just one.

You can use this to search for certified calibration of just about anything.

We have our certified gauge blocks we use on a quarterly schedule to do checks on the calipers.
The problem we discovered was that the calipers themselves need to be sent out to be calibrated and certified as well.
