Welding equipment calibration in Scunthorpe.
Scunthorpe's heavy fabrication and steel-related work is hard on machines. High duty cycles and multi-shift use mean a set can drift out without anyone noticing until a weld fails inspection.
- Standard
- BS EN IEC 60974-14

- Unit 14, Spencer Street, Grimsby

Welding equipment calibration for Scunthorpe firms.
We calibrate on site and plan visits around shifts and shutdowns, with a certificate per machine for your QA file.
What you get
What's included.
- Calibration and validation to BS EN IEC 60974-14, the current standard (it replaced BS EN 50504).
- Current, arc voltage and, on MIG/MAG sets, wire feed speed measured against traceable reference instruments.
- Standard or precision grade, depending on whether the work is manual or mechanised.
- A certificate per machine with the readings and result, and a sticker showing the next due date.
- Done on site, so machines stay where they're used.
Can you calibrate during a shutdown?
Yes. Tell us the shutdown dates and we'll plan the visit so every machine is done while it's off line.
How often should welding machines be calibrated?
Annually is what most quality systems and auditors expect, and sooner after a repair, damage, or if the machine starts behaving differently. Our guide on calibration intervals goes into more detail.
