Gauge Calibration & Certification Service

As we all know, even the best gauges lose accuracy with daily operation and normal usage. Moreover, new industry regulations from the DOT and NFPA make it imperative that gauges be kept accurate.

NFPA 10 5-4.1.5 

Pressure gauges used on test equipment shall be calibrated at least semi-annually. Master gauges or dead weight testers shall be calibrated at least annually.

CGA-1 Appendix - B

Master Gauge - Requires recalibration at lest every 12 months

Pressure Indicating device

The pressure indicating device that is used in the daily operation of the test system must be recalibrated at least every six months from the date of initial use in the test system by either a dead weight device, an electronic pressure measuring device of appropriate accuracy, or a master gauge.

In order to help you keep your pressure and vacuum gauges accurate, we are pleased to announce our new gauge calibration & certification service. Key details are as follows: With this service, we can calibrate your gauges ranging in size form 2" to 8" in diameter which do not have a pressure range over 5000 psi. Any gauge to be tested must have a calibration adjusting screw and be in good working condition. Dry and glycerin filled gauges are acceptable.

All gauges will be calibrated by a certified dead weight tester and will be deemed accurate at point of calibration or be rejected due to excess wear or being out of adjustment range.

Any gauges you send for calibration, that were not originally purchased from Getz Manufacturing, must have a known accuracy range. Obviously, calibration certificates can only be issued when your gauge has passed known accuracy requirements.

With our new service, you can order calibration with a 10 point test certificate for $60 or calibration only ( no certificate) for $50. You are responsible for UPS charges both ways.

Call the Peoria office to order this new service. Please note that you need to obtain a return authorization before sending us your gauge(s). Turn around time in Peoria should not exceed 72 hours.
