Why does NIST traceability calibration cost more?
A customer’s quality standards often requires a gauge to be traceable to NIST standards. It costs several thousand dollars per year to maintain NIST traceable instrumentation for each of the ranges we offer. Instrumentation must be sent in annually for recertification. This requires duplicate equipment for each range so production is not interrupted. Our calibration prices are comparable to other metrology labs. Our gauges are easy to calibrate and can be returned to us or any metrologist for recertification.
