Our accredited calibration capabilities extend up to 12 inches, using precision gage blocks as reference standards. We calibrate instruments from major manufacturers including Mitutoyo, Starrett, Fowler, Brown & Sharpe, and SPI. [2]

Industries That Rely on Precisely Calibrated Calipers

Dimensional measurement accuracy affects product quality, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency across manufacturing and regulated industries. We serve organizations where precise caliper measurements are critical to maintaining specifications and passing audits, including the following:

Petrochemical – Pipe specifications, valve components, and equipment dimensions require documented measurement traceability for safety and operational standards.

Industrial Manufacturing – Component fabrication, assembly operations, and quality control processes depend on accurate dimensional verification throughout production.

Aviation – Aircraft component tolerances and assembly specifications require NIST traceable dimensional measurements for safety and regulatory compliance.

Research and Development – Prototype development, product testing, and experimental work demand precise dimensional measurements with documented traceability.

Aerospace – Critical component tolerances for spacecraft and satellite systems require accredited dimensional measurement services.

Why You Need a Reliable Caliper Calibration Provider

What is Caliper Calibration?

Caliper calibration compares your measuring instrument against precision gage blocks with documented traceability to NIST. We verify measurement accuracy at multiple points throughout your caliper’s range, documenting any deviations from specified tolerances. This process establishes whether your instrument meets performance specifications and provides the measurement data necessary to demonstrate compliance with your industry requirements. Accredited calibration certificates also include as-found and as-left measurements, and uncertainty analysis.

Benefits of Regular Caliper Calibration

Audit Preparedness – Current calibration certificates 

with NIST traceability provide the documentation auditors

require when reviewing your quality management system.


Measurement Confidence – Regular calibration verifies 

your dimensional measurements remain accurate, 

supporting confident quality decisions and reducing risk 

of accepting out-of-specification products.


Cost Control – Scheduled calibration prevents measurement errors that lead to scrap and rework while identifying 

instruments drifting out of tolerance before they cause 

production issues.

Risks of Neglecting Caliper Calibration

Compliance Failures – Missing or expired calibration 

records create audit nonconformities that can delay 

product releases or require corrective action plans.


Questionable Data – When calibration records are 

expired, all measurements taken with those instruments 

become questionable, potentially invalidating batch 

records and requiring product holds.


Hidden Quality Problems – Uncalibrated instruments 

may drift out of tolerance gradually, creating systematic measurement errors that remain invisible until calibration 

reveals the problem.

FAQs: Your Caliper Calibration Questions Answered

How are calipers calibrated?

Calipers are calibrated by comparing your measuring instrument against precision gage blocks that have documented traceability to NIST. We verify measurement accuracy at multiple points throughout your caliper’s measurement range and document any deviations from specified tolerances. This establishes whether your instrument meets performance specifications and provides the compliance documentation your quality system requires.

Is calibration necessary for calipers?

Yes, calibration is necessary for calipers to maintain measurement confidence and regulatory compliance. Regular calibration verifies your dimensional measurements remain accurate, supports confident quality decisions, and provides the current documentation your auditors require. Without calibration, your measurement data becomes questionable and can create compliance failures during audits.

Where can I get my calipers calibrated?

You can get your calipers calibrated by a reputable metrology lab like Allometrics. We provide NIST traceable and ISO 17025 accredited caliper calibration services from our Webster, Texas laboratory serving quality assurance and manufacturing operations nationwide. Simply ship your calipers to our facility with any specific tolerance requirements, and we’ll perform NIST traceable calibration services and return your instruments with the documentation your industry requires.
