Stopwatch & Timer Calibration Services

The stopwatch in the tech’s pocket is a measurement instrument — audit it like one.

ACS Calibration delivers NIST-traceable, audit-ready stopwatch and timer calibration, available at the ACS central lab or directly on-site at facilities across the Southeast. Frequency to 10 MHz, rotational speed to 99,900 rpm, and timers to 24 hours are on our accredited scope, so ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificates are available on request.

Instrument Types

Speed, Time & Frequency Instruments We Calibrate

RPM, hertz, and seconds — from plant-floor tachometers to laboratory centrifuges.

Frequently serviced brands: Traceable (Control Company), Shimpo, Extech, Eppendorf, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Micron — plus dozens more.

Accredited Speed, Time & Frequency Capability

These ranges appear on our PJLA scope of accreditation — verify it independently anytime. From production tachometers to laboratory centrifuge RPM verification, instruments beyond these ranges receive NIST-traceable calibration.

Why It Matters

The Instrument Nobody Lists Until the Auditor Does

Stopwatches time the things procedures care about: reaction endpoints, flow checks, line clearances, athletic and clinical measurements. They’re also the instrument most likely to be missing from the calibration recall list — until an auditor traces a timed step back to an unverified watch and writes the finding that puts every timed record in question.

We calibrate stopwatches and handheld timers under our accredited time capability — verified against reference standards through 24 hours, with as-found and as-left data per unit — turning pocket hardware into documented instruments your quality system can lean on.

Send the drawer: mixed fleets of stopwatches, bench and wall timers, and count-up/count-down units batch to one due date. The centrifuge run timers and frequency counters in the same building are covered under the same scope section.

Deliverables

What You Get With Every Calibration

  • NIST-traceable calibration certificate with real measurement data — not just a pass/fail sticker
  • As-found and as-left readings, so drift is documented
  • ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificate with reported uncertainty — on request
  • Calibration label with due date, plus a reminder before your next calibration is due
The ACS Difference

Why Companies Choose ACS for Stopwatch Calibration

NIST-Traceable, Accredited on Request

Every calibration is NIST-traceable with real measurement data. Frequency (1 Hz–10 MHz), rotational speed (to 99,900 rpm), and timers/stopwatches (to 24 hours) are on our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scope — accredited certificates available whenever your quality system requires them.

4–6 Business Day Typical Turnaround

Keep production moving. Most instruments are typically completed in 4 to 6 business days from arrival, with rush options available when a line is down.

Flexible Logistics

Mail your instruments in, or schedule onsite calibration and we come to your floor — serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, and beyond.

How It Works

Calibration Without the Hassle

1. Ship It or Schedule Us

Send your instrument to our Dothan, AL laboratory — or book onsite service and we come to your facility.

2. NIST-Traceable Calibration

ASQ Certified Technicians calibrate your instrument against NIST-traceable reference standards — in our lab or at your facility.

3. Audit-Ready Certificate

Your instrument returns with a NIST-traceable certificate documenting as-found and as-left data. ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificates available on request.
