Precision Testing Laboratories offers a wide variety of miscellaneous testing for specific industries and testing protocols.
Our Pendulum calibration service includes:
- Pre-calibration checking of verification values.
- Service of the machine.
- Expert repair/replacement of any damaged parts.
- Calibration of all requisite parts of the machine in our conditioned calibration lab.
- Post-calibration checking of verification values.
- Issue of a full calibration certificate.
While Precision has the ability to calibrate any Pendulum machine, in the pendulum manufacturing industry, Munro Instruments is a valued partner. Munro is the leading manufacturer of the British pendulum and the only UKAS accredited calibration lab. For more information on Munro Instruments please visit www.sliptest.co.uk.
