Xcalibration specialises in torque wrench calibrations, multipro gas detector calibrations and breathalyser calibrations. You can be confident when you deal with us you will receive the benefits of up to date industry knowledge, and our service provides calibration certificates as standard.

You can also be assured your tools and instruments will satisfy quality system requirements once they have been professionally calibrated.

Another unique benefit we can offer you is a HOT SWAP option so you don't need to be without a torque wrench or gas detector while yours is being calibrated.                   

Please see below for more information.

An actual case study is probably the best way to demonstrate the benefits of establishing a regular program of torque wrench calibrations.

An engine rebuilding company in western Queensland didn't see a need for the cost of calibrating their torque wrenches.

On subsequent contact it was revealed that the company had to pay a warranty claim on an engine rebuild that could have been avoided if their instruments had been calibrated correctly.

That claim cost the company over $10,000, and they now readily recognise the benefits of spending just a small amount for their yearly torque wrench calibrations.
