AVERY WEIGH-TRONIX OFFERS 5-DAY TURNAROUND
ON METROLOGY EQUIPMENT CALIBRATIONS WITH
THE OPENING OF NEW CALIBRATION SELECT
LABORATORY IN BIRMINGHAM
Avery Weigh-Tronix Calibration Select Laboratory in Birmingham
Avery Weigh-Tronix, one of the UK’s leading
metrology calibration providers, has opened
a dedicated calibration laboratory to offer
a 5-day turnaround on the calibration of
torque, pressure, temperature and electrical
equipment and mass weights.
The Calibration Select Laboratory, located
at the company’s Soho Foundry site in
Birmingham, features state-of-the-art testing
equipment, supported by experienced
laboratory technicians and a bespoke, online
system which provides direct access to
calibration certificates and asset details, and
simplifies the customer experience.
Research shows the average turnaround
time for metrology calibrations in the UK
is between 7-15 days. Often this leads to
businesses paying a premium to have items
calibrated onsite due to time constraints,
or duplicating the number of items needed
for a process to use in rotation while others
are sent offsite for calibration. While recent
changes to the ISO standards for calibrating
torque tools will make the process of
equipment calibration very difficult to

achieve when working onsite at customer
premises or in a mobile laboratory.
Calibration Select reduces equipment
downtime by guaranteeing items are
collected, calibrated and returned within
5 days. The expedited turnaround time is
made possible thanks to a unique technician
collection service, carried out by a network
of over 120 Avery Weigh-Tronix service
technicians across the UK. While the central
location of the Calibration Select Laboratory
in Birmingham provides easy access to major
UK road networks.
