Dimensional Calibration Service Levels
Tescom Calibration Services offers multiple levels of calibration certification to meet your quality documentation requirements.
Who relies on gage calibration
- Aerospace and defense: inspection gages behind first-article inspection and supplier audits.
- NDT and quality labs: measuring tools that support inspection reports and Level III oversight.
- Electronics and medical device manufacturing: incoming and in-process inspection tools on production lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you calibrate thread gages?
Yes. We calibrate external thread plug gages (major and pitch diameter, 4 to 80 TPI) and thread ring gages (functional pitch diameter, 0.06 to 6 in) at our Cedar Park lab, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
-
Can you calibrate gages on-site?
Yes. Micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gages, protractors, levels, rulers and tape measures can be calibrated on-site. Gage blocks, ring gages and thread gages are calibrated in our Cedar Park lab.
-
How often should micrometers and calipers be calibrated?
Most shops calibrate micrometers and calipers every 12 months. Heavily used gages, or gages used for critical inspection, often move to 6-month intervals under the quality system.
-
Do you calibrate gage blocks?
Yes. We calibrate gage blocks up to 12 in by direct measurement on a universal length measuring machine against master gage blocks, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
