Precision You Can Count On

Temperature impacts everything from manufacturing processes and pharmaceutical storage to food safety and environmental monitoring. Even the most reliable instruments can drift over time, leading to:

  • Inaccurate readings
  • Compliance issues
  • Unnecessary guesswork

Regular, accredited temperature calibration ensures your instruments deliver accurate, traceable results, keeping your processes reliable and compliant.

Why Temperature Calibration Is Essential

Even a small temperature drift can have major consequences:

  • Faulty pharmaceutical storage
  • Off-target lab results
  • Food safety risks
  • Compliance failures
  • Wasted product and increased costs

Regular temperature calibration prevents waste, fines, and recalls while keeping instruments compliant, efficient, and long-lived.

Why Choose Alpha Controls For Temperature Calibration?

Alpha Controls provides temperature calibration with unmatched precision. Our lab calibrates to the ITS-90 scale, using fixed points and liquid nitrogen to cover ranges from -196°C to 660°C.

For comparison calibrations, we offer metrology wells and calibration baths spanning -196°C to 1200°C, ensuring accurate results across any application. For high-temperature applications, our furnace-based system calibrates noble thermocouples with uncertainties as low as ±0.4°C, delivering true full-range results up to 1200°C with no extrapolation required, a level of accuracy no other lab in Canada currently offers.

Our Advantage:

  • High-Precision Equipment: Fluke Calibration tools deliver some of the lowest uncertainties in the industry
  • Full Traceability: ISO 17025-accredited procedures and detailed certificates
  • Expert Technicians: Skilled in handling single instruments or full fleets
  • Reliable Turnaround: Fast service without compromising accuracy
  • True Full-Range Calibration: Noble thermocouple calibration up to 1200°C with no extrapolation, exclusive to Alpha Controls in Canada

Whether it’s a single thermometer or an entire suite of process controllers, Alpha Controls ensures your temperature measurements are precise, reliable, and compliant.

The Only Lab in Canada Calibrating to 1200°C Without Extrapolation

Most labs extrapolate thermocouple readings at higher temperatures, introducing uncertainty right where precision matters most. Alpha Controls calibrates noble thermocouples across their true full range, up to 1200°C, with no extrapolation and uncertainties as low as ±0.4°C, down from the industry standard of ±3°C. The service is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited under our A2LA scope, delivering fully traceable, audit-ready results.

Ideal for high-temperature processes like metal casting, forging, welding, and glass forming, and trusted by aerospace, pharmaceutical, cement, oil & gas, and manufacturing organizations.

Industries That Rely On Temperature Calibration

Temperature calibration is critical in industries where accuracy, safety, and compliance are essential:

  • Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences: Protecting product integrity and meeting regulatory standards
  • Aerospace & Defense: Supporting high-temperature testing and materials processing
  • Food & Beverage: Ensuring safety, quality, and process consistency
  • Manufacturing & Industrial Processes: Reliable monitoring for casting, forging, and welding operations
  • Environmental & Laboratory Monitoring: Accurate readings for testing and compliance

Alpha Controls helps organizations maintain operational confidence and avoid costly errors across all sectors.
