Length Standards Services
Length Standards provides calibration services for dimensional metrology instruments. All measurements made are traceable to New Zealand’s national standards. We also provide advice and consultation on dimensional measurement problems.
Gauge Blocks
| $250 report fee plus | |
| 0.5mm, 1mm to 100mm inclusive | $25 per gauge |
| less than 1mm, other than 0.5mm | $30 per gauge |
| 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm | $75 per gauge |
| 250mm, 300mm | $110 per gauge |
| greater than 300mm | $260 per gauge |
| Optical Parallels | $50 per parallel |
| A similar scale of charges applies to the equivalent imperial sizes | |
These measurements are carried out by comparison. We can also measure gauge blocks by interferometry. Charges available on application.
Line Scales
| Calibrate a one or two metre steel rule with two scales | NZ$450 |
| Calibrate additional scales | NZ$50 per additional scale |
| Steel tapes NZ$450 | + NZ$100 per 4 m of tape |
| Bar coded surveying staff | NZ$750 |
| Digital level | NZ$700 |
Roundness
We also have the expertise to carry out a wide range of non-routine dimensional measurements.
Coordinate Measuring Machine
We can carry out three dimensional measurements within a 800 mm by 600 mm by 600 mm volume with a best measurement uncertainty of (1.2 + L/400) µm where L is in millimetres.
Charges are $250/hour and a report fee of $250. Actual uncertainties will be calculated on a case by case basis.
