Industrial instruments undergoing calibration
Calibration & repair · since 1946

One point of contact, from booking to certified return.

We have supplied, repaired, serviced and arranged calibration of quality-control instruments since 1946. Calibration is carried out at manufacturer facilities and partner calibration laboratories, and BAMR manages the whole job - quote, booking, logistics and return - so you never chase a lab. Every instrument comes back with a calibration certificate traceable to national standards.

What we arrange calibration for.

We arrange calibration for the full range of quality-control instruments we sell, and most third-party instruments in the same measurement families. If you are unsure whether your instrument is covered, call us, or ask OBI, our product assistant, in the chat at the bottom right.

Coating Thickness Gauges

Magnetic, eddy-current and ultrasonic DFT gauges across the Elcometer ranges and equivalent third-party instruments - Type 1 mechanical and Type 2 digital.

Adhesion Testers

Pull-off and cross-hatch adhesion testers calibrated against reference standards, including the Elcometer 106, 107, 506 and 510 series and compatible instruments.

Surface Profile & Roughness

Profile gauges, replica comparators and contact-stylus roughness testers used in surface-preparation QC.

Environmental & Climatic

Dewpoint meters, hygrometers and anemometers for coating-window monitoring - critical where climate records must be defensible on offshore and refinery work.

Viscosity & Physical

Flow cups, Krebs-Stormer viscometers and coating-hardness testers, calibrated to the manufacturer's specification with a traceable certificate on return.

Ultrasonic & NDT

Ultrasonic material-thickness gauges and corrosion-monitoring instruments, returned with a recommended recalibration interval on the certificate.

Concrete & Moisture

Moisture meters, rebound hammers and cover meters for construction QC, alongside the Elcometer range.

Hardness Testers

Shore, Barcol and portable hardness testers, checked against hardness blocks across the instrument's working range.

The process

How calibration works.

One phone call starts the job and a certified instrument ends it. In between, BAMR handles the quote, the booking, the logistics both ways and the paperwork.

01

Book in

Call 021 683 2100, email or use the quote form. Tell us what you have, how many instruments and your turnaround requirement. We quote before any work starts and confirm the booking.

02

We manage the calibration

Each instrument goes to the manufacturer's facility or a partner calibration laboratory matched to the instrument type. We handle the dispatch, tracking and turnaround - you deal with BAMR throughout, not the lab.

03

Certificate issued

Each instrument returns with a calibration certificate traceable to national standards, showing the as-found and as-left data, the reference standards used and the date.

04

Returned ready to use

Your instrument comes back ready for site or lab work. Any out-of-tolerance findings are documented on the certificate, with a recommended recalibration interval so you know when it is next due.

Turnaround & traceability

Need an instrument calibrated?

Turnaround depends on the instrument and where it is calibrated - call us on 021 683 2100 and we will confirm a return date before you send anything. Every certificate is traceable to national standards.
