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 heavy engineering process plants across Goa, Panaji, Margao, Vasco da Gama, and the wider Goan industrial corridors. 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 Goa and the state’s industrial belt, 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, cold warehouses, and Building Management Systems (BMS) operating across Goa’s manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure 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 Goa results in an NABL-accredited certificate featuring a detailed Uncertainty of Measurement (MU) budget. This documentation is a mandatory requirement for maintaining compliance with USFDA, MHRA, EU-GMP, and ISO 9001 guidelines during rigorous industrial audits.

Industry Segments We Serve

Pharmaceutical Formulations and API Production (Verna & Madkaim)

Goa is one of India's leading pharmaceutical hubs. In the massive plants of Verna Industrial Estate, glass thermometers are utilized as primary reference standards for verifying the temperature of water baths used in dissolution testing and incubators for microbial studies. Because glass thermometers are immune to electronic drift and electromagnetic interference (EMI) from heavy packaging machinery, they provide a stable baseline that auditors from the USFDA and EMA trust explicitly. Our calibration ensures that your "As-Found" and "As-Left" data are technically robust, protecting the integrity of life-saving drug batches.

Chemical and Petrochemical Processing (Ponda & Kundaim)

The industrial zones of Ponda and Kundaim host numerous chemical manufacturers. High-precision ASTM glass thermometers are essential here for determining the boiling points and flash points of chemical intermediates. These manual tests are often the final decision point for safety and product quality. Vega’s NABL-certified calibration ensures these readings are accurate, mitigating fire hazards and ensuring chemical products meet international purity standards before being shipped through Mormugao Port.

Food, Beverage, and Brewery Industry

Goa is famous for its beverage industry, including breweries and spirit-processing units. Glass thermometers are the standard tool for routine temperature verification during fermentation and pasteurization. They are rugged enough to withstand the high-moisture and steam environments typical of bottling plants. We help these industries maintain FSSAI and ISO 22000 compliance by providing traceable accuracy that ensures biological risks are neutralized.

Industrial Use Cases

Food and Beverage Production

From dairy operations in the surrounding regions to organized food processing facilities across Panaji, Margao, Vasco da Gama, Mapusa, and the Goan industrial belt, 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 Goa industrial clusters, including Vasco da Gama, Margao, Ponda, and Verna, glass thermometers are used in oil baths for the heat treatment of precision components such as gears and bearings. Maintaining the exact temperature of quenching or tempering baths is critical for achieving the correct Rockwell hardness. Vega’s NABL-certified calibration provides documented proof of accuracy required for IATF 16949 audits, ensuring Goa-manufactured components meet global automotive and machinery standards.

Chemical and Hazardous Material Storage

Chemical storage facilities and hazardous material warehouses across Panaji, Margao, Vasco da Gama, Mapusa, and the Goan industrial belt use glass thermometers to monitor the ambient temperature of volatile chemical storage areas. In environments where electronic probes may pose a spark risk or suffer corrosion from aggressive fumes, the LIG thermometer remains the safest and most reliable tool. Vega’s NABL calibration ensures these manual safety checks are accurate to within a fraction of a degree, mitigating fire risks and supporting compliance with Goa’s industrial safety and hazardous material storage regulations.

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 in Goa

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 reading in my Verna pharma plant differ from the digital probe?

A: This is often due to the Response Time and Immersion Depth. Glass thermometers have a higher thermal mass and take longer to reach equilibrium than electronic probes. Furthermore, if the thermometer is not immersed to its correct marked line (for partial immersion types), it will give an incorrect reading. Our calibration process identifies these potential errors and provides a guide on "Best Measurement Practices."

Q: Can Vega calibrate the "Non-Mercury" spirit thermometers we use for our green-certified facility in Ponda?

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 an RTD for our chemical godown?

A: The primary benefit is Inherent Stability and Corrosion Resistance. Unlike digital sensors, glass thermometers have no electronic circuits that can be corroded by saline humidity or chemical fumes. In hazardous 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 precision ASTM thermometers in our Goa facility be calibrated?

A: For thermometers used in high-precision QC tests, we recommend an annual (12-month) cycle. However, for thermometers used daily in high-temperature processes or harsh chemical environments, a 6-month check is technically sound to monitor for glass fatigue and bulb contraction.
