Get a quoteWhat is dimensional calibration?
Dimensional Calibration is the documented comparison of a dimensional against NIST-traceable reference standards under ISO/IEC 17025. Techmaster runs a multi-point check across the dimensional’s working range, quantifies its error and measurement uncertainty, and confirms it performs within tolerance — then issues an ANAB-accredited certificate with as-found and as-left data.
Why calibrate your dimensional instruments?
- Measurement confidence: a drifting dimensional produces readings you can’t defend in an audit.
- Compliance: ISO 9001, 13485, AS9100 and FDA quality systems require traceable calibration on measuring equipment.
- Cost control: catching drift early prevents scrapped product, failed lots, and warranty claims.
- Traceability: an unbroken chain to NIST with a stated uncertainty is what makes your data valid.
How dimensional calibration works at Techmaster
Each dimensional is verified against NIST-traceable standards at multiple points across its range. We record as-found values, adjust where the design allows, and record as-left values — then calculate the expanded measurement uncertainty (k=2) for every point. The result is a clear pass/fail against your tolerance and a certificate an auditor will accept.
In-lab calibration
Ship or drop off your dimensional to one of five US labs for a controlled-environment calibration with the tightest uncertainties. Standard 5-day turnaround; 1–2 day expedite available.
On-site calibration
For dimensionals that can’t leave the floor, our technicians calibrate on-site anywhere in the USA — no shipping, no downtime, same accredited certificate.

Frequently asked questions
What is dimensional calibration?
Dimensional Calibration is the documented comparison of a dimensional against NIST-traceable reference standards under ISO/IEC 17025. It quantifies the dimensional’s error and measurement uncertainty and confirms it performs within tolerance, with as-found and as-left data on the certificate.
How often should a dimensional be calibrated?
Most quality systems calibrate a dimensional every 12 months, or sooner after repair, overload, or before critical measurements. Set your interval from the manufacturer spec and your ISO 9001 / 13485 / AS9100 program and drift history.
Is Techmaster’s dimensional calibration ISO 17025 accredited?
Yes. Techmaster Electronics is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited by ANAB (Certificate AC-1736). Every dimensional calibration is NIST-traceable and issued with a full measurement-uncertainty budget.
What is the turnaround for dimensional calibration?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 1–2 business-day expedite available. On-site calibration removes shipping time entirely for dimensionals that can’t leave the floor.
Do you calibrate dimensionals on-site or in-lab?
Both. Techmaster runs five US labs (Vista CA, Santa Clara CA, Orlando FL, San Antonio TX, Holly Springs NC) and offers nationwide on-site dimensional calibration to minimize downtime.
