Acoustic Calibration is available on all types and brands of instrument with our comprehensive Calibration Service based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Sound Level Meters are classified by two different types (Class/Type 1 and Class/Type 2) and can often be known as Noise Meters or Noise Dosimeters. The different classes refer to the accuracy level of the results given by the meter with Class 1 being the more accurate of the two options.

 

For example, the use of Sound Level Meters is widespread across industry with the importance of issues such as Noise at Work Regulations, Building Acoustics and other forms of Environmental Monitoring being just some of the key reasons. Regular calibration of Sound Measuring Equipment is therefore essential in industry so users can be certain results being provided by the meters conform to the relevant British Standard BS EN 61672-3:2013. Visit our Calibration Services page to see all of the services we offer.

 

AMECaL’s Sound Level Meter Calibration Service performs two detailed checks on the equipment, one that measures the level of sound in the SI unit of Decibels (dB) and other using what is called an Acoustic Calibrator to check the general functions and operations of the meter. Ranges and accuracy of measurement can vary from meter to meter, but the general rule of thumb is most Sound Level Meter Calibration is carried out within the frequency range of human hearing.

​

The calibration of Sound Level Meters makes up only one small part of our expertise in Acoustics calibration. We also have the capability to calibrate other slightly different items such as Dosemeters, Dosimeters, Personal Sound Level Meters, Handheld Sound Level Meters, Sound Level Indicators, Acoustic Calibrators and Decibel Meters. AMECaL prides itself on providing acoustics and all other calibration services with a certificate allowing our customers to trace the measurements back to National Standards.
