Normally, the calibration of shore hardness tester takes place annually, however this may vary based on your laboratory requirements. Some of our customers wait a few years before official calibration of their shore hardness testing heads because the unit still provides the exact same reading as the certified test blocks.

Provided you require calibration, you will have two options:

Option #1: Shipping Your Unit to NextGen
It is important to note that you do not need to ship the entire unit back to us for calibration. All that is required are the Shore/IRHD test heads.

Simply reach out to us at [email protected] and please provide your serial number. We will offer the instructions to you.

Option #2: Loaner Program during Calibration
In order to avoid any production interruptions, we provide a loaner program option. This allows you to continue testing while your equipment is being calibrated. NextGen will send you ‘loaner’ calibrated test heads before you send yours out to us!

Here is what you do:

STEP 1:
Please provide details on the measuring head(s) you wish to have evaluated, calibrated and certified. We recommend doing this 45-60 days before the required calibration time.

Please provide the serial No. of the machine.

You may send request by e-mail to [email protected]

STEP 2:
NextGen will outline the estimate for the loaner, the cost of a calibration service and the turnaround time. We will additionally offer all the shipping and logistics instructions for your convenience.

STEP 3:
Follow our instruction from step 2!
