Are you aware that you have options when it comes to getting calibration services? There are two different types of calibrations you can receive based on the needs of your facility: On-Site calibration and In-Lab calibration. This blog will go over each type of calibration to explain when you should use on-site calibration services and when you should send your equipment to a calibration lab for in-lab calibration
On-Site Calibration is a calibration service that occurs at your facility or desired location. This process provides excellent benefits for larger machines or equipment that can’t easily be transported. On-site Calibration has technicians come to you and perform the calibration services in real time without disrupting your operation.
Benefits of On-Site Calibration:
It's convenient: Do you have large machines or equipment that would be difficult to transport? On-site calibration doesn’t require you to worry about shipping your equipment.
It Doesn’t Interfere with Your Operation: Because we come to you, we can calibrate the equipment without taking it out of operation
Highly Accurate: Just because you receive the calibration at your facility doesn’t mean you’re losing any accuracy during the calibration process. Our technicians provide precision-calibrated services whether on-site or at our calibration lab.
Our technicians can come to you to calibrate your equipment.
In-Lab Calibration occurs at our calibration lab. The calibration lab allows for equipment to be calibrated at the highest precision. Since the equipment is transported to the cal lab, we have more controlled environmental conditions and precise instruments.
Benefits of In-Lab Calibration:
High Precision: Since the equipment is transported to our calibration lab, we have the ability to control more environmental conditions. Our calibration lab is equipped with the best masters to provide you with the best calibration services.
Advanced Equipment: Since the calibration is performed in-house, we have access to more advanced calibration equipment.
Perfect: Just like on-site calibrations, our laboratory technicians provide the best calibration services to ensure your equipment is working correctly.
Equipment is taken to our calibration lab and calibrated to the best of our ability.
So how do you know which option is best for your business? Let’s explore some of the factors that can go into the decision
Size of Equipment: What is the size of the equipment you are looking to get calibrated? If your equipment can’t be moved, on-site is the best option. However, if your equipment can be easily transported, you may want to consider in lab.
Precision: What’s the amount of precision you wish to have in your calibration? If you need the most precise calibration you can get, you may want to have your equipment sent in for calibration
Once you know the needs of your equipment and which services will better fit those needs, you’ll know whether on-site or in a lab will be better for your business. Roots Metrology can provide both on-site calibration and in-lab calibration services. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help your business.

What is the difference between on-site calibration and in-calibration?
On-site calibration services are performed at your desired location. In-Lab calibration is performed at our calibration laboratory.
How do I know if my equipment needs on-site calibration or in-calibration?
Factors such as the size of the equipment and the precision you’d like to have will determine what kind of calibration you should choose.
Can Roots provide both on-site calibration services and In-Lab calibration services?
Yes! Roots Metrology provides both on-site calibration as well as in-lab calibration services. We can do the calibration at your facility, or you can send your equipment to our calibration lab.
What are the advantages of sending my equipment to a professional calibration lab?
Calibration Labs can provide you with the best precision for your calibration. Since the equipment is in one centralized location, we have access to more advanced calibration tools.
What are some industries that can use on-site calibration?
Many industries that deal with large machinery or equipment that can’t be transported benefit from on-site calibration. On-site allows you to calibrate the equipment without taking it out of operation.
