Ask the Experts: Why calibrate equipment that can be replaced for less?
We often hear from customers that they prefer to purchase new equipment instead of paying for calibration. Commonly, this is done for lower cost items such as torque wrenches, tape measures, and infrared thermometers. The argument is that they can replace the equipment for the same amount or less than the cost of a calibration.
While we do see the appeal of this option, this practice can result in serious traceability issues. Click below to find out why you should think twice before choosing replacement over calibration.
