UKAS Traceable Calibration Services
Sterling ITI provides fast, reliable, UKAS traceable calibration services for pressure, temperature and electrical instrumentation across the UK. We calibrate a wide range of equipment including pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, thermocouples, Pt100 sensors, handheld thermometers, temperature controllers, torque wrenches and electrical test instruments.
With competitive pricing, fast turnaround times and nationwide collection and delivery available, we make the calibration process simple and hassle-free. Most calibrations are carried out in-house at our Oldham, Greater Manchester facility, with on-site calibration services also available for selected applications.
Regular calibration helps ensure your instruments remain accurate, reliable and compliant with quality standards. Uncalibrated equipment can lead to measurement errors, product quality issues, process inefficiencies and increased operational costs. Our calibration service provides documented evidence that your instruments are performing within specification, giving you confidence in your measurements and peace of mind.

Calibration FAQs
Calibration is the process of comparing a measuring instrument against a known reference standard to verify its accuracy and performance. In industrial environments, calibration ensures that equipment such as thermometers, pressure gauges, and sensors provide reliable readings that align with national or international measurement standards. This process identifies any deviations and, if necessary, adjusts the instrument to maintain compliance with specified tolerances. Regular calibration is essential for quality control, safety, and regulatory compliance across industries including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and energy. Without calibration, measurements may drift over time, leading to errors that impact product quality, efficiency, and safety. By establishing confidence in measurement accuracy, calibration supports consistent processes, reduces downtime, and helps businesses meet stringent industry standards and customer expectations.
UKAS calibration and traceable calibration are both methods of ensuring measurement accuracy, but they differ in scope and assurance level. UKAS calibration is performed by a laboratory accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, following ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Results are independently verified and internationally recognised. Traceable calibration, on the other hand, confirms that measurements are linked to national or international standards through an unbroken chain of comparisons. Traceable calibration offers reliability for many industrial applications. Businesses requiring compliance with strict quality systems, regulatory approval, or global recognition typically opt for UKAS calibration, while traceable calibration is a cost-effective solution for routine industrial use.
Calibration is vital because it ensures measurement instruments provide accurate and reliable results, which are critical for product quality, safety, and compliance with industry standards. Over time, instruments can drift due to wear, environmental conditions, or regular use, leading to errors that may compromise efficiency, increase costs, or create safety risks. Regular calibration verifies accuracy, identifies deviations, and helps maintain consistency across processes.
The frequency of calibration depends on several factors, including the type of instrument, its application, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements. Many industries recommend annual calibration, but equipment used in critical processes or harsh environments may require more frequent checks.
