Who is APL?

We are a team of qualified engineers and scientists providing an expert calibration service with a constant drive to improve our measurement capability and all other aspects of instrument calibration that impact on the customer.  

Our friendly staff are highly qualified and experienced in pressure calibration, including three NATA technical assessors in pressure, so you can be assured that your instruments are handled carefully and assessed thoroughly to achieve their best possible performance. Your emails and phone calls are handled directly by our knowledgeable technical staff. 

Why should I use APL?

We are absolutely focussed on the science of measurement, accuracy, and uncertainty, so you can trust that your instruments are handled carefully in our lab and evaluated to their best capability. Our strive for continuous improvement has ensured our measurement uncertainties are among the lowest available in Australia, and always improving, including unique capabilities in Dead Weight Tester calibration, high vacuum and low gauge pressure.  

Australian Pressure Laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and reports are endorsed by NATA along with the ILAC MRA combined mark, which ensures they are recognised in Australia and internationally.  If your business relies on high quality and dependable traceability, APL is the trusted source for your reference calibration.

We undertsand that instrument users need minimal downtime for their instruments, so we strive to ensure our standard turnaround times are very reliably among the best in the industry, and we also offer an Expedited Service for any urgent requirements with turnaround within 1 day.

Do you only calibrate pressue/vacuum instruments?

While our passion for high quality measurement was born in pressure/vacuum, modern calibration devices have increasingly incorporated highly accurate electrical and temperature measurement capability.  In response to this, APL has developed and gained accreditation for calibration of a large variety of electrical measurements including voltage (AC/DC), current (AC/DC), resistance, frequency and calibration of temperature scales (thermocouple and RTD) by electrical simulation.  Our low uncertainty in all of these areas makes APL is the ideal laboratory for calibration of multifunction process calibrators from Beamex, Druck, Fluke, Additel and more.
