Mech Metrology & Power Tools

Mech Metrology & Power Tools Ltd is an established UK-based calibration laboratory and metrology equipment specialist headquartered at 11 Fareham Enterprise Centre, Hackett Way, Fareham, Hampshire, PO14 1TH. Founded over 20 years ago specifically to address the growing demands of the manufacturing and engineering sectors for precision measurement capability, the business operates as both a service laboratory and a specialist distributor, offering clients a single source for traceable calibration, instrument repair, and procurement of high-quality gauging and metrology hardware from leading global manufacturers.

The core calibration service encompasses a broad range of measurement disciplines critical to precision engineering. Dimensional and inspection measurement calibration covers instruments including micrometers, vernier calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, dial indicators, thread gauges, and plain ring gauges across diameter ranges from 3 to 150 millimetres, calibrated using length measuring machines. Optical measuring systems such as profile projectors, vision measurement machines, and optical comparators are also within scope. Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) calibration ensures three-dimensional inspection equipment delivers traceable, auditable results demanded by modern quality management systems.

Force and crimp measurement calibration is a significant laboratory speciality, covering digital and analogue force gauges, tensile and compression testers, and crimp pull-off testers used extensively in cable assembly and electrical connector manufacturing. Torque measurement calibration extends to torque screwdrivers, torque wrenches, torque analysers, and torque meters across both low and high torque ranges. These capabilities are essential for manufacturers in sectors where fastener torque and connection integrity are safety-critical or governed by defined acceptance criteria.

Surface and form measurement calibration is offered for profilometers, surface roughness testers, roundness instruments, and flatness measurement systems, supporting quality-control programmes in precision machining and component manufacturing. Temperature instrumentation calibration addresses contact and non-contact thermometers, thermocouple calibrators, and environmental monitoring systems. Together, these disciplines allow Mech Metrology to serve as a comprehensive calibration partner capable of addressing most measurement parameters encountered on a modern engineering production floor or quality inspection laboratory.

The company operates a calibration management service that goes beyond single-instrument transactions to provide systematic oversight of a client's entire equipment fleet. This includes scheduled recall management, full calibration documentation, and efficient collection-and-delivery logistics, reducing the administrative burden on customers' internal quality teams. On-site calibration is available for large or installed instruments that cannot be economically transported, and subcontracting arrangements for specialist parameters outside the laboratory's direct scope are facilitated where required.

Mech Metrology holds accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the internationally recognised competence standard for testing and calibration laboratories, issued by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). UKAS Certificates of Calibration are available for most metrology equipment services, providing the documentary evidence customers need to satisfy their own ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS 9100, and other quality management system audit requirements. The laboratory's UKAS Schedule of Accreditation (most recently revised August 2024, Issue No. 006) defines the specific measurement parameters, instrument types, and uncertainty levels within the accredited scope. The business additionally holds ISO 9001:2015 certification covering quality management processes across its product supply and service delivery operations.

As an authorised specialist distributor, Mech Metrology supplies inspection and measuring equipment from world-leading manufacturers including Mitutoyo, Bowers Group, and TESA. The company achieved recognition as the first distributor in the United Kingdom to attain Mitutoyo 'Accredited Distributor' status, reflecting the depth of technical expertise and service infrastructure maintained. Regular promotions across Mitutoyo, Bowers, and TESA product lines give customers competitive access to gauge blocks, micrometers, height gauges, surface roughness testers, CMM equipment, and torque tools.

With over two decades serving the UK manufacturing and engineering community, Mech Metrology & Power Tools combines UKAS-accredited calibration capability, ISO 9001-certified service management, and authorised distribution for premium metrology brands into a single, well-resourced partner. Its Hampshire base serves clients across the South of England and beyond, and its dual role as calibration provider and accredited equipment distributor positions it as an authoritative adviser on instrument specification, calibration strategy, and total cost of compliance for precision measurement programmes.
