- What is pressure gauge calibration?
Pressure gauge calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting a pressure gauge to ensure it provides accurate readings. Calibration ensures the gauge meets industry standards and maintains precision, reliability, and safety in various industrial applications.
- Why is pressure gauge calibration important?
Accurate pressure gauge calibration is essential to:
- Prevent safety hazards – Faulty gauges can lead to leaks, system failures, or even explosions.
- Ensure compliance – Many industries require regular calibration to meet safety regulations and certifications.
- Reduce downtime – A well-calibrated gauge prevents unexpected failures and costly repairs.
Optimise performance – Ensures your equipment operates efficiently without pressure inconsistencies.
- How often should a pressure gauge be calibrated?
The calibration frequency depends on usage, industry standards, and environmental conditions. In high-risk industries like oil and gas, chemicals, and manufacturing, it’s recommended to have pressure gauge calibration performed every 6 to 12 months or as required by industry regulations.
- What industries require pressure gauge calibration?
We provide pressure gauge calibration services for industries such as:
- Oil and gas
- Chemical processing
- Food and beverage
- Energy and power generation
- Pharmaceuticals
- Manufacturing and industrial plants
- What are the signs that a pressure gauge needs calibration?
Common signs include:
- Inconsistent readings
- Visible damage or wear
- Slow response time
- Fluctuations when pressure is stable
- Readings that don’t match other measuring devices
If you notice any of these issues, pressure gauge calibration is necessary to restore accuracy.
- Do you provide on-site pressure gauge calibration?
Yes! Xcalibration offers on-site pressure gauge calibration to minimise downtime and disruptions to your operations. Our technicians bring industry-leading calibration equipment directly to your facility, ensuring efficient and accurate results.
- What happens during a pressure gauge calibration service?
Our pressure gauge calibration process includes:
- Inspection – Checking for damage, leaks, or visible issues.
- Testing – Comparing gauge readings to a high-precision reference standard.
- Adjustment – Fine-tuning the gauge to meet industry accuracy standards.
Certification – Providing a calibration report for compliance traceable to NMI standards.
- Can you repair faulty pressure gauges?
Yes, we offer pressure gauge repairs along with calibration services. If your gauge is faulty, we provide:
- A full diagnostic report outlining the issue.
- Spare parts and repairs to restore functionality.
Replacement pressure gauges for when repairs aren’t feasible.
- Do you offer pressure gauge hire and sales?
Yes! If your pressure gauge needs replacing or is undergoing repairs, we offer pressure gauge hire to keep your operations running. We also supply new pressure gauges, all pre-calibrated and ready for immediate use.
- Where can I book pressure gauge calibration in Australia?
Xcalibration provides pressure gauge calibration services Australia-wide, ensuring businesses across Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and beyond receive expert calibration and support.
- Do you provide on-site gauge calibration with certification?
Absolutely. Our technicians perform on-site gauge calibration using traceable reference standards, make any required adjustments, and issue compliance certificates (NMI/NATA traceable) to minimise downtime.
Pressure Gauge Calibration Services
Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure in a gas or liquid.
The pressure is measured via a ‘Bourdon tube’, a curved tube which straightens as the pressure in the coil increases, linked to a pointer which indicates the final pressure measurement. Pressure gauges are used widely in industrial settings, for the oil and gas, alternate fuels, chemicals, energy, food, and beverage industries, across a wide range of manufacturing processes. There are many different units used for assessing pressure, with the most popular being psi (pound per square inch), and bar (roughly equivalent to atmospheric pressure at sea level).
Due to their widely used application and importance, high-quality pressure gauge calibration services are essential for maintaining the safety and security of your daily operations. Our pressure calibration services adapt to different machines, ranges and use-cases, so it’s necessary to use a specialist to assess your device correctly. Xcalibration’s pressure gauge calibration specialists can help you maintain the functioning and precision of your pressure gauge all year round.
