— WHAT IS MEASURING CYLINDER CALIBRATION —
Think of a quality lab that relies on a measuring cylinder for daily measurements. If it has drifted even slightly from its true value, every reading becomes unreliable — leading to defective products, failed audits, or safety risks. Regular calibration is the only way to confirm your instrument is telling the truth.
Measuring Cylinder calibration means comparing its readings against a NABL-traceable certified reference standard at multiple test points, recording the deviations, adjusting where possible, and issuing an NABL certificate — accepted by ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and all quality auditors.
Compare readings against a NABL-traceable reference standard across the full measurement range.
Adjust or document deviations so your instrument reads within accepted tolerance.
Issue a NABL-accredited certificate (CC-2480) with full traceability documentation.

Borosilicate glass measuring cylinders for chemical and laboratory volume measurement.
Polypropylene/TPX plastic measuring cylinders for general lab use.
Standard graduated measuring cylinders for liquid volume measurement.
Tall-form measuring cylinders for improved accuracy at lower volumes.
Heavy-duty measuring cylinders with reinforced base for industrial use.
Narrow-form measuring cylinders for improved volume accuracy.
— OUR PROCESS —
Cylinder and ultra-pure water (ISO 3696 Grade 1) stabilised at 20 ± 0.5°C for 30 minutes in the temperature-controlled calibration room.
Cylinder inspected for cracks, chips, clouding, and scale legibility. Base and meniscus suitability confirmed. Graduation marks checked.
Water delivered to each nominated graduation mark, then weighed on NABL-calibrated precision balance. Volume calculated from mass using water density at calibration temperature.
Minimum 3 repeat measurements at each setpoint. Mean volume, standard deviation, and systematic error (bias) computed per ISO 4787.
Mean error compared to ISO 4788 or ASTM E1272 maximum permissible error for the stated capacity and class.
NABL CC-2480 certificate reporting nominal volume, mean dispensed volume, error, expanded uncertainty (k=2), calibration temperature, and ISO 4788 class.

NABL Accreditation Standard
Prism holds NABL CC-2480 under ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Measuring cylinder certificates accepted by pharma GMP (21 CFR Part 211), ISO 9001, ISO 15189, and all process and food industry QMS bodies.
— NON-NABL CALIBRATION —
For routine maintenance, bulk calibration, or internal QC checks where a full NABL certificate is not mandatory — Prism offers cost-effective non-NABL calibration using the same NABL-traceable reference standards and trained engineers.
All non-NABL work uses NABL-certified reference standards — readings are still reliable and defensible.
Without full NABL documentation, instruments return faster — ideal for urgent production schedules.
Non-NABL calibration costs less — practical for large batches or routine periodic checks.
Available at your facility or at our Vatva lab — same quality, more flexibility.
— AREAS WE SERVICE —
Lab calibration. 1-day turnaround for all cylinder sizes.
Why Choose Prism
Since 2004, every NABL cylinder certificate from Prism has been accepted by pharma GMP, ISO 15189, and ISO 9001 auditors — no rejections.
