How long does instrument calibration take?
The time required for instrument calibration depends on the type of instrument, number of devices, calibration range, and whether the calibration is performed on-site or in a laboratory. In most cases, calibration of individual instruments can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
Typical timelines include:
- Simple handheld instruments — 15 to 30 minutes
- Pressure gauges and temperature instruments — 30 minutes to 1 hour
- Weighing equipment and torque tools — 1 to 2 hours
- Multiple instruments or complex systems — Half day to full day
In India, many organizations prefer on-site calibration to minimize operational downtime, especially in manufacturing plants, construction sites, and process industries.
Uniquo offers both on-site and laboratory calibration services. Our team plans calibration activities in advance to reduce disruption to operations. After calibration, detailed certificates and reports are provided, aligned with best practices followed by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
