Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an accredited calibration and a standard traceable calibration?
Our accreditation covers specific areas of metrology that have been assessed by an accrediting body. These accredited calibrations come with a certificate of calibration and measurement of uncertainty, and demand that higher quality systems and standards are applied.
Unlike accredited calibrations, measurement uncertainty is not provided with standard calibrations.
Our customers receive first class metrology services and enjoy peace of mind knowing that our measurements are traceable to NIST and other international standards.
Does data come with a certificate of calibration?
Yes. We provide before, and after data, where applicable, on certificates of calibration.
Are Appmet’s calibrations traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Yes. All AppMet Sources are traceable to NIST and other international standards.

Yes. As a service to our customers, we maintain a recall schedule of your equipment and will send you a reminder approximately one month prior to your calibration due date. This will give you time to schedule your calibration.
Who determines the calibration cycle?
Our clients select their equipment cycle. If they do not or cannot provide one we can provide a certificate without any recommended cycle. The cycle should be based on the instruments accuracy, sensitivity, usage environment, and the risks involved with their use, which only our clients can properly evaluate.
What if I lose the certificate of calibration?
No problem. If you lose the certificate simply call us at 843-767-5664, Email us at service@appmet.com with the request or fill our the contact form and we will email your certificates promptly.
