As an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, we understand that for a Quality Manager in the Bhiwandi-Kalyan industrial belt, technical soundness is not just about a certificate—it is about ensuring that manual temperature checks are accurate enough to protect billions of rupees worth of inventory. Our services focus on the metrological characterization of precision ASTM/IP and spirit-filled thermometers, covering a range from -80°C to +300°C.

Comprehensive Service Offerings

To maintain technical excellence , we employ methodologies that account for the unique stress factors of the region:Thermal Comparison Calibration

  • Thermal Comparison Calibration: Thermal Comparison Calibration is one of our most frequently requested services for pharmaceutical manufacturing units, cold storage facilities, and chemical processing plants across Bhiwandi, Thane, and nearby MIDC industrial zones. RTD PT-100 sensors are compared against a Master SPRT in a stabilized medium to ensure accurate As-Found performance under real process conditions.

  • Fixed Point Calibration (Triple Point of Water):For advanced research laboratories, precision testing facilities, and quality reference labs supporting industries in and around Bhiwandi and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, we offer Fixed Point Calibration at the Triple Point of Water (0.01°C). This method is ideal for organizations maintaining secondary reference standards for pharmaceutical, chemical, and high-accuracy temperature validation.

  • Electrical Simulation:Many automated production lines, warehouses, and Building Management Systems (BMS) operating in Bhiwandi’s logistics and manufacturing hubs rely on accurate electrical interpretation of RTD signals. Using high-precision multifunction process calibrators, we simulate RTD PT-100 resistance values to verify indicators, transmitters, PLC inputs, recorders, and SCADA systems, ensuring complete temperature control loop accuracy.

Types of NABL Temperature Calibration Services

Our service portfolio is designed to cover the entire lifecycle. We offer :

At Vega, we treat glass thermometer calibration as a refined metrological science. We move beyond simple verification by performing a full characterization of the instrument’s behavior across its scale. We account for the physical expansion of the thermometric liquid and the long-term contraction of the glass bulb—a phenomenon known as "bulb aging" that can lead to significant measurement errors if left unmonitored.

Our facility utilizes ultra-stable, stirred liquid baths that achieve a thermal uniformity of 0.01°, providing the high-resolution environment necessary for precision validation. Every calibration performed for our clients in Bhiwandi results in an NABL-accredited certificate featuring a detailed Uncertainty of Measurement (MU) budget, which is a mandatory requirement for maintaining compliance during SFDA, FSSAI, and ISO 9001 audits.

Industry Segments We Serve

Warehousing and Cold Chain Logistics

Bhiwandi is the backbone of India's e-commerce and pharmaceutical logistics. In massive cold storage facilities near Padgha and Sonale, glass thermometers are used as the "Master Standard" to verify the accuracy of wall-mounted digital hygrometers and data loggers. Because glass thermometers require no batteries and do not drift electronically, they provide a failsafe reference for monitoring sensitive vaccines and temperature-controlled food shipments. Our calibration ensures that your manual checks meet the stringent requirements of the World Health Organization (WHO) and SFDA.

Textile Dyeing and Processing

Bhiwandi remains a major textile hub. In the dyeing and processing units of Dapoda and Kalher, glass thermometers are used to monitor dye-bath temperatures. Accurate thermal control is vital to ensure consistent color shades and to prevent damage to delicate fabrics. Our NABL-certified calibration provides the documented proof of accuracy needed for international textile quality standards, ensuring your processed fabrics are export-ready.

Pharmaceutical Quality Control

Bhiwandi acts as a secondary QC point for many pharmaceutical companies. Glass thermometers are used in these satellite labs to verify the temperature of stability testing incubators and media preparation baths. Vega ensures that these instruments are calibrated to the highest standards, providing an unbroken chain of traceability to National Standards (NPL).

Industrial Use Cases

Food and Beverage Production

From the dairy units in the outskirts to the food processing giants, manual temperature checks are a safety mandate. Glass thermometers are rugged enough to withstand the steam and high-moisture environments typical of pasteurization and sterilization tunnels. We help these industries maintain ISO 22000 compliance by providing traceable accuracy that ensures biological risks are neutralized during production.

Precision Mechanical Engineering

In the Peenya Industrial Area, glass thermometers are used in oil baths for the heat treatment of precision gears and bearings. Maintaining the exact temperature of the quenching or tempering bath is vital for achieving the correct Rockwell hardness of the metal. Vega’s NABL-certified calibration provides the documented proof of accuracy required for IATF 16949 audits, ensuring that Bangalore-made components meet the global standards of the automotive and heavy machinery industries.

Chemical and Hazardous Material Storage

The numerous chemical godowns in the Bhiwandi outskirts use glass thermometers to monitor the ambient temperature of volatile chemical storage areas. In environments where electronic probes could pose a spark risk or be corroded by fumes, the LIG thermometer is the safest and most reliable tool. Vega’s calibration ensures that these manual safety checks are accurate to within a fraction of a degree, mitigating fire hazards and ensuring compliance with the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) guidelines.

Compliance & Audit Requirements

Whether it is an NABL assessment or a customer-led quality audit, our documentation is your strongest asset.

  • Metrological Traceability: A clear, documented link to National Standards (NPL).

  • Uncertainty Budget: A technical breakdown of measurement risks, a core requirement of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

  • Statement of Conformity: Clear indication if the sensor meets Class A, Class B, or custom tolerance limits.

  • Digital Tracking: Automated certificate tracking to ensure you never miss a recalibration date.

Why Vega is Your Trusted Calibration Partner

Vega Calibration is more than a service provider; we are your local partner with a national perspective.

  • Emergent Stem Correction: If a total immersion thermometer is used incorrectly with only the bulb submerged, it results in a significant "Emergent Stem" error. Our technicians monitor the ambient temperature of the emergent column during calibration to apply the necessary corrections.

  • Ice Point Verification (0°C): Over years of use, the glass bulb can undergo "Zero-Shift" as the glass material relaxes. By identifying this shift, we provide you with a precise correction factor that must be applied to all subsequent readings.

  • Column Reunion: We utilize specialized cooling and heating techniques to reunite separated liquid columns, a frequent issue encountered when thermometers are handled in busy workshops or transported through the high-vibration environment of port logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why does my glass thermometer in my Bhiwandi warehouse read differently than the digital logger?

A:This is often due to the Response Time and Airflow. Glass thermometers have a higher thermal mass and take longer to reach equilibrium than the thin-wire sensors in digital loggers. Furthermore, if the digital logger is placed in a "dead zone" while the glass thermometer is near a cooling vent, the readings will vary. Our calibration process identifies instrument errors, while our technical team can help you with "Best Placement Practices" for your facility.

Q: Can Vega calibrate the "Eco-Friendly" non-mercury thermometers we use for our green-certified warehouse?

A: Yes. We specialize in calibrating spirit-filled and organic-liquid-filled thermometers. These are safer but require careful handling, as the liquid can sometimes "cling" to the glass, causing drainage errors. Our technicians account for this "drainage time" during our NABL calibration process to ensure absolute accuracy for your lab.

Q: What is the benefit of a Glass Thermometer over a digital probe for a chemical godown?

A: The primary benefit is Inherent Safety and Stability. Unlike digital sensors, glass thermometers are immune to battery failure, circuit corrosion, and electromagnetic noise. In chemical storage, they provide a reliable, spark-free reference that requires no electrical power, ensuring safety standards are met even during power outages.

Q: How often should the thermometers in our Bhiwandi logistics hub be calibrated?

A: For thermometers used in critical cold chain monitoring, we recommend an annual (12-month) cycle. However, for thermometers used in high-turnover loading docks where they are subjected to frequent thermal shocks, a 6-month check is technically sound to monitor for glass fatigue.
