Gracey & Associates Hire and Calibration
Acoustic Calibrators
All our meters are delivered with calibration certificates. However it is good practice to apply an acoustic calibrator, just before and after the measurements to check the system including any cables etc., is OK and hasn't been damaged since it left us.
It is also standard practice to include these calibrator tests noting the type and serial number of the calibrator in any reports.
