Types of NABL Temperature Calibration Services

Our service portfolio is designed to cover the entire lifecycle of your temperature sensors. We offer :

• At Vega, we treat infrared thermometer calibration as a refined metrological science, specifically designed to address the challenges of the Coimbatore industrial belt. We move beyond simple functional verification by performing a full characterization of the instrument’s behavior across its measurement scale.

• Our facility utilizes ultra-stable Blackbody Cavity Calibrators to achieve the high-resolution environment necessary for precision validation of emissivity and spectral response. We account for "distance-to-spot ratio" errors and the long-term degradation of infrared detectors—a phenomenon often accelerated by the high airborne lint and industrial dust characteristic of the region.

Industry Segments We Serve

Textile and Garment Manufacturing (Peelamedu & Tiruppur Cluster)

Coimbatore and Tiruppur form a global textile hub where infrared thermometers are essential for monitoring heat-setting and dyeing processes. The primary use case involves the non-contact temperature measurement of fabric surfaces during stentering and curing to ensure color fastness and fabric strength. Inaccurate readings can lead to significant material waste or product defects that fail international quality standards. Vega Calibration acts as a vital technical partner by providing NABL-traceable calibration for these IR sensors, accounting for the emissivity of various textile materials. We ensure your pyrometers operate with the high-resolution accuracy needed to maintain process stability. Our detailed calibration certificates provide the documented evidence required for GOTS and ISO 9001 audits, ensuring your facility remains technically sound and audit-ready despite the high-lint and humid conditions of the weaving sheds, protecting your brand's reputation in the global export market.

Pump and Motor Manufacturing (Ganapathy & Avarampalayam)

As the "Pump City of India," Coimbatore relies on infrared thermometers to monitor motor windings and casting cooling cycles. The critical use case involves the detection of "hot spots" during motor load testing and ensuring uniform cooling in aluminum die-casting processes. Inaccurate thermal data can lead to premature motor failure or internal structural defects in high-pressure pumps. Vega Calibration provides the precision metrology needed to ensure your IR guns are synchronized with national standards. We perform linearity checks across the specific temperature ranges required for electrical testing and metal finishing. Our NABL-accredited certificates include a comprehensive Uncertainty of Measurement (MU) budget, which is a mandatory requirement for maintaining compliance during rigorous vendor audits and ISO 14001 inspections. We help engineering managers resolve sensor deviations, ensuring the air-cooled systems and thermal management protocols remain technically robust for long-term operational efficiency.

Foundries and Casting Units

Coimbatore’s massive foundry sector utilizes high-temperature pyrometers to monitor molten metal and mold temperatures without physical contact. The primary use case involves verifying the surface temperature of iron or steel melts to prevent casting defects like cold shuts or slag inclusion. In these high-vibration and dust-intensive environments, optical sensors are prone to rapid drift and lens contamination from industrial fumes. Vega Calibration provides the low-uncertainty calibration required to support these high-stakes metallurgical requirements using high-temperature blackbody sources. We verify the spectral response of your pyrometers to ensure they provide accurate feedback in the presence of intense infrared radiation. Our calibration ensures your facility maintains compliance with TNPCB safety mandates and international automotive quality standards (IATF 16949). By providing technically sound calibration data, we help foundry managers manage the risks associated with thermal deviations, ensuring every batch meets the rigorous mechanical properties expected by clients.

Food Processing and Agriculture

The industrial areas surrounding Coimbatore host significant food processing and spice grinding units where maintaining sterile temperature ranges is a safety mandate under HACCP. The primary use case for IR thermometers is the instant verification of surface temperatures of ingredients, cooking vessels, and refrigerated storage without physical contact, thereby preventing cross-contamination. Inaccurate temperature monitoring can lead to biological risks and product degradation, which is especially critical during the humid monsoon months of Tamil Nadu. Vega provides the low-uncertainty calibration required to support these high-stakes hygienic requirements. By providing technically sound calibration data, we help food processors manage the risks associated with thermal deviations, ensuring every operation meets the rigorous quality benchmarks expected by both domestic consumers and global export standards. Our NABL-accredited certificates provide the documented accuracy needed to maintain brand reputation and satisfy health and safety audits by the FSSAI.

Industrial Use Cases

Healthcare and Medical Technology

Coimbatore is a premier medical hub in South India, with numerous hospitals and medical device manufacturers utilizing non-contact thermometers for clinical screening and equipment maintenance. The critical use case involves the calibration of clinical-grade IR thermometers used for patient temperature monitoring and the validation of surface temperatures in specialized medical labs and vaccine storage units. Inaccurate readings in a clinical setting can lead to missed diagnoses or the spoilage of temperature-sensitive medical supplies. Vega Calibration acts as a partner to healthcare institutions by providing precision calibration for a wide array of medical-grade IR thermometers. We ensure your instruments are synchronized with national standards, providing clinicians with reliable tools and the institution with documented safety compliance. Our services help these institutions maintain high standards of patient safety and satisfy the requirements of NABH and ISO 13485, ensuring thermal monitoring remains within precisely calibrated safety limits.

Aerospace Components & Precision Machining

Coimbatore’s growing aerospace and precision machining ecosystem relies on Infrared Thermometers for monitoring surface temperatures during CNC machining, stress relieving, and component heat treatment. The primary use case involves non-contact verification of tool-workpiece interface temperatures to prevent microstructural distortion in high-tolerance components. Even minor thermal deviations can compromise dimensional accuracy and fatigue life. Vega Calibration provides NABL-traceable calibration of IR thermometers across narrow tolerance bands, ensuring temperature data remains reliable for AS9100 and aerospace vendor audits. Our calibration reports support defect prevention and ensure consistent compliance with global aerospace quality expectations.

Electrical Panel Manufacturing & Power Equipment

Electrical panel builders and transformer manufacturers use IR thermometers to detect overheating in busbars, circuit breakers, and transformer windings during routine testing and commissioning. The critical use case involves identifying thermal imbalances that could lead to insulation failure or electrical fires. In dusty shop-floor environments, sensor accuracy can degrade over time. Vega Calibration ensures these thermal guns are calibrated with low uncertainty, providing dependable data for preventive maintenance programs. Our NABL-accredited certificates support compliance with electrical safety norms, insurance inspections, and ISO 45001 occupational safety audits.

Plastics, Rubber & Polymer Processing

Plastic molding and rubber processing units in the Coimbatore region use Infrared Thermometers to monitor mold surface temperatures, extrusion lines, and curing ovens. The primary use case is maintaining uniform thermal profiles to prevent defects such as warping, incomplete curing, or material degradation. Inaccurate temperature readings can result in high rejection rates and energy inefficiencies. Vega Calibration delivers precision calibration tailored to polymer processing temperature ranges, ensuring stable production and repeatable quality. Our NABL-accredited calibration data supports ISO 9001 compliance and strengthens process validation during customer and regulatory audits.

Compliance & Audit Requirements
