What is a Traceable Calibration?
LAND’s temperature measurement instruments are designed for accuracy and reliability.
Regular servicing by LAND technicians, either at a service centre or at a customer’s site, will ensure many years of peak performance.
At our Global Service Centres, instruments are disassembled, cleaned, rebuilt, and adjusted to factory specifications, restoring them to ‘as new’ condition. Each service includes a Service Centre Report and a certificate of conformity traceable to ISO 9001:2025.
For customers who require greater confidence or have a need for critical temperature measurement, our certification service offers an independent, fully-traceable ISO 17025-compliant calibration. The accredited laboratory compares the output of a pyrometer or imager to a reference standard with known measurement uncertainties, traceable to primary standards at a National Measurement Institute such as the UK National Physical Laboratory.
The customer specifies the required temperature points, either selecting working temperature points (sub-range) or covering the full range of the instrument. The laboratory then issues a certificate of calibration. Results are reported with a 95% confidence probability.
Note that the ISO 17025 laboratory provides a certificate reporting the measured data, enabling a calibration history for the instrument to be developed. It does not adjust the instrument. Adjustment can be performed as an additional chargeable service.
For a complete calibration history, the ISO 17025 lab can issue a calibration certificate on the instrument when it is received by LAND, before any servicing or adjustments. This “as found” calibration shows the errors while it was most recently in use. It will then receive a second calibration after it has been serviced and adjusted.
Standard service includes disassembly and cleaning followed by a calibration adjustment to ensure the instrument meets its factory specifications.
Traceable calibration in the ISO 17025-certified laboratory provides a comparison between the instrument under test and a reference standard with known uncertainty and traceable to national standards. The result is a certificate of calibration which shows the difference between the instrument reading and the reference standard at each measurement point.
