Each wheel ships with a calibration certificate as standard. In service, high-grade stainless steel and precision roller-bearings hold their geometry through routine cleaning and coating contact. Re-calibration or replacement is typically only needed if the wheel shows visible bearing wear (rough or noisy rolling), physical damage to the rims, or if your internal QC procedure…

Verification confirms that a coordinate measuring machine still performs within its permitted error, usually against ISO 10360. Calibration determines and documents the relationship between the machine's readings and traceable reference values. In practice they work together: accredited calibration on a schedule, with interim verification checks in between. 

Yes - a precision calibration plate is supplied with each Hull Roughness Gauge for verification against a known reference before survey work. A TQC Sheen Spare Calibration Plate is available if the original is lost or damaged. The DC9000 companion Windows software is available for download from the Industrial Physics support pages - it manages…

Very fine fillers can sit in a narrow optical range where standard calibration points do not give enough precision. The ColorTouch X ISO Specific Calibration App lets mineral and pigment facilities create calibration points based on TAPPI Brightness and Color (T452 and T524) so the instrument reports TAPPI values accurately within very specific ranges

Every gauge is supplied with a 1 year parts and labour warranty as standard - our Industrial Physics group commitment across all brands. For replacement or additional probes, see the TQC Sheen Probes for PosiTector 6000 - Ferro & Non-Ferro range. For calibration services, technical support or servicing beyond the warranty period, contact our support team. Web-based software updates keep the gauge current, and both…

Replacement cutters and accessories are available through the Industrial Physics online store or by contacting our support team directly. For calibration verification and instrument servicing, visit our support page to arrange a service. Our global network means assistance is available wherever you operate.

Calibration standards for PROFILE/Plus modules are available separately through Industrial Physics. Contact our applications team to confirm which calibration standards are available for the modules in your configuration.

Yes. Technidyne paper calibration and verification standards are available for each TEST/Plus model and measurement property. Using matched calibration standards maintains measurement traceability and ensures results remain consistent with reference values between calibration cycles. See the Paper Calibration and Verification Standards range for compatible standards. 

Using a calibration standard not recommended by the instrument manufacturer may compromise measurement accuracy and may invalidate instrument warranty or accreditation. We recommend using the standard specified for your instrument model. Contact our applications team if you have a compatibility question. 

Yes - Industrial Physics calibration standards are traceable to recognised national and international standards bodies. Certification documentation confirming the traceability chain is supplied with each standard. Contact our applications team for details on specific products.
