Free calibration tools and pricing

Three calculators for the decisions calibration actually turns on — no signup, nothing stored. Below them, what a free plan really gets you, how it differs from a trial that expires, and what the paid tools in this market cost.

Calculators

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is saved, and none of it needs an account.

Calibration interval recommender

No standard sets your interval — you set it and justify it. This turns the three inputs an auditor asks about into a defensible starting point.

Suggested interval: 18 months

Calibration interval set to 18 months. Starting point: manufacturer's recommendation of 12 months, extended because the recorded drift history shows it returning in tolerance every time. Criticality assessed as normal. Interval to be reviewed at the next calibration against the as-found result.

A starting point, not a rule. Only your own drift history justifies an interval — review it at every calibration.

Due date & recall calculator

The due date is the easy part. The recall dates — when someone actually has to act — are what stop an instrument expiring while still in use.

Enter a last-calibration date to see the due date and recall points.

Test uncertainty ratio (TUR) calculator

Whether your reference is accurate enough for the tolerance you are checking. The calculation US defence and metrology labs are held to.

Enter both values in the same units to get the ratio.

TUR is tolerance divided by the reference's expanded uncertainty. Use the uncertainty printed on the reference's own calibration certificate, not its accuracy specification — they are not the same number.

What can you get for free?

Free ways to track instruments and gages, what full gage tracking covers once custody matters, and a sourced breakdown of how every vendor in this market prices their software.

In short: a free plan has no expiry date; a free trial does — check which one a vendor is offering before you migrate your data.
