Electronic technology has served to dramatically improve the ability of calibration services. Most sensors and transducers can now provide more accurate measurements than ever before. These tools are also more versatile than they were in the past, and some are even capable of measuring different types of instruments in multiple locations for comparison. This high degree of precision was never possible when workers used manual calibration methods. Advances in electronic technology have made it possible to gauge exact numbers on high tech equipment to maintain high quality performance.

On-Site Calibration: GCC Lab provides calibration services on customers&#; site (Field Calibration) where is often performed on equipment that is too large or sensitive to be shipped to us, or that can&#;t be taken out of the production line for few days at a time. With GCC Lab, you&#;ll enjoy the flexibility of our Site Calibration Services because we offer to meet your scheduling needs and minimize production shutdowns.

The history of calibration services begins with the standardization of weights and measurements of length and distance. Before standardization, measurements varied widely from place to place, and often changed from person to person. For example, one of the first measures of distance in the world was the cubit. People measured cubits as the distance from a person’s shoulder to the tip of their nose. Since no two people are the exact same size, using this system, no two measurements could be exact.

Outrageously, while king between and AD, Henry of England made up a new unit of measurement–the yard–and said that it equaled the distance between his outstretched thumb and the tip of his nose. Finally, in the late s, people began standardizing measurements. First, in , English lawmakers established the Assize of Measures, a code of length measurements. Then, in , the writers of the Magna Carta included in that document standard wine and beer measurements.
