Approached by an international customer in the forging industry, our team were tasked with a unique challenge: to manufacture “stepped bar calibration standards” from inconel 718 and waspaloy, with distinct specifications tailored to their precise needs.
These calibration standards play a crucial role in verifying the accuracy and reliability of measurement equipment, ensuring that every step of the forging process adheres to rigorous quality standards.

Customised flat bottomed hole (FBH) dimensions in waspaloy and inconel calibration standards
The waspaloy calibration standard features a crafted 0.8mm flat bottom hole (FBH) at a depth of 5mm, while its counterpart in inconel boasts a 0.4mm diameter FBH. These precise dimensions are not arbitrary, they are the result of extensive research, analysis, and collaboration with our client to determine the exact specifications required for their specific application.

Enhancing efficiency in calibration procedures
To further enhance usability and functionality, our team designed bespoke stainless-steel stands for each piece. These stands serve a dual purpose: to provide stability and balance on the workbench, and to facilitate seamless immersion tank usage, allowing for efficient and effective calibration procedures.
From the initial design phase to the final production, every step was executed with attention to detail and a pursuit of perfection. Our skilled engineers ensured that each calibration standard met the highest quality requirement.
Our precision-engineered calibration standards enhance our client’s operations by improving efficiency and reliability. Tailored to their exact specifications, these standards help maintain the highest quality in their forged products.
