Pullman Instruments - Specialists in Calibration and Measurement

Pullman Instruments - North West

UKAS Accredited Organisation

Pullman UKAS Schedule
 Pullman Instruments North West was formally Calibration UK Ltd which was founded in 1991 by Doug and Margaret Earl, Doug had an extensive metrological back ground which they utilised through the years to grow the business and offer calibration, repair, service, sales and hire of instrumentation to customers in and around the North West of England. During this time Calibration UK Ltd became a fully UKAS accredited dimensional laboratory with dedicated staff who shared Doug and Margaret’s vision for delivering precision in measurement. 

In 2016 after 25 years in business Calibration UK Ltd joined the Everett Smith Group, with group CEO Nathan Smith at the helm Joining 3 sister companies, Pullman Instruments (UK) Ltd, Climatic Services Ltd and Flow-Mon Ltd. This provides a core skill base of dimensional test and measurement to both traceable and UKAS standards allowing the group access to a market environment they were previously inactive in.

Now as a part Pullman Instruments we have extended the office space and created a new larger laboratory giving Pullman Instruments North West a greater capacity to offer its clients more services, which as well as our primary discipline in dimensional calibration we now offer further electrical, temperature, pressure and torque calibration, testing and certification.

Pullman Instruments North West’s key expertise and core experience is dimensional calibration. Our fully fitted UKAS accredited laboratory offers industry leading dimensional instrument calibration to a wide range of sectors, reducing risk and inaccuracy of your measuring tools and instruments. 

What is Dimensional Calibration?

Dimensional Calibration is testing the performance output of measuring instruments against a measurement standard to certify that the item produces results which meet or exceed the specific criteria of that standard. The details of these findings are logged and the results are prepared on a calibration certificate. During the calibration process minor adjustments may be made if appropriate and advice offered on repairs or replacement.

We calibrate:
  • Digital Calipers
  • Vernier Calipers
  • Internal Micrometers
  • Micrometers
  • Bore Gauges
  • Depth Gauges
  • Height Gauges
  • Levels
  • Setting Gauges
  • Thread Gauges
  • Screw Plug Gaues
  • Plain Plug Gauges.
  • Ring Gauges
  • Dial Test Indicators

Benefits of UKAS Accreditation to Pullman Customers

Accreditation is a means of assessing, in the public interest, the technical competence and integrity of organisations offering evaluation services.

Accreditation, with its many potential benefits for the quality of goods and in the provision of services throughout the supply chain, underpins practical applications of an increasingly wide range of activities across all sectors of the economy, from fishing to forestry, construction to communications. Independent research has confirmed that accreditation has a positive economic value of nearly £1bn on the UK economy each year.
