— WHAT IS SURFACE ROUGHNESS TESTER CALIBRATION —

What Is Surface Roughness Tester Calibration & Why Does It Matter?

Think of a quality lab that relies on a surface roughness tester for daily measurements. If it has drifted even slightly from its true value, every reading becomes unreliable — leading to defective products, failed audits, or safety risks. Regular calibration is the only way to confirm your instrument is telling the truth.

Surface Roughness Tester calibration means comparing its readings against a NABL-traceable certified reference standard at multiple test points, recording the deviations, adjusting where possible, and issuing an NABL certificate — accepted by ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and all quality auditors.

Check

Compare readings against a NABL-traceable reference standard across the full measurement range.

Correct

Adjust or document deviations so your instrument reads within accepted tolerance.

Certify

Issue a NABL-accredited certificate (CC-2480) with full traceability documentation.

— OUR PROCESS —

Calibration Process — Step by Step

01

Receipt & Inspection

Profilometer received and tagged. Stylus tip radius, pick-up unit, traverse mechanism, and electronic display inspected.

02

Reference Specimen Check

NPL-traceable roughness calibration specimens used to measure as-found Ra and Rz deviation at fine, medium, and coarse levels.

03

Stylus Tip Verification

Stylus tip radius measured under optical microscope. Replaced if worn beyond tolerance per ISO 3274. New stylus force verified.

04

Traverse Speed & Cut-Off Calibration

Traverse speed and cut-off wavelength settings verified against calibration. Filter settings checked per ISO 4288.

05

As-Left Verification

Post-correction readings on reference specimens at all three roughness levels. Measurement uncertainty calculated per GUM.

06

NABL Certificate Issue

NABL CC-2480 certificate issued with as-found/as-left Ra/Rz data, expanded uncertainty (k=2), ISO 4287/4288 traceability.

— NON-NABL CALIBRATION —

Non-NABL Profilometer Calibration Also Available

For routine production checks or workshops not requiring NABL certification — same engineers, same reference specimens, lower cost.

Routine machining line verification
Pre-inspection profilometer check
Bulk calibration for workshop instruments
Non-critical surface finish gauges
Cost-effective for high-volume machining operations

NPL-Traceable Reference Specimens

All calibrations use NPL-traceable roughness specimens — only the certificate type differs.

Fast Turnaround

Non-NABL profilometer jobs completed quickly — ideal for large machining batches.

Cost-Effective

Lower cost than NABL — right for workshop instruments and non-critical surface checks.

All Roughness Parameters

Ra, Rz, Rq, Rt — all primary surface texture parameters covered by the same specialist team.

— AREAS WE SERVICE —
