Calibration has a very important role in research and industrial activities. This is because calibration is one of the benchmarks for quality assurance of a product and research results. Therefore, all instruments used for measuring must be calibrated in accordance with the applicable standard requirements or technical specifications. LPPT-UGM has human resources who are professional in their field and have experience in calibrating industry, BUMN, government agencies and universities in Indonesia. Calibration services that can be provided include the following fields:

  • Temperature
  • Mass
  • Pressure
  • Volumes
  • Analytical Instruments

LPPT continues to develop competency in the field of calibration in stages considering the demand for calibration needs which continues to increase for various types of equipment both for UGM’s internal environment and from outside UGM. During the last 5 years, LPPT-UGM has conducted more than 4,200 instrument calibrations. In 2020, LPPT-UGM proved its credibility in the field of calibration, marked by the accreditation of LPPT-UGM as a laboratory that has competence in carrying out instrument calibration by applying the SNI ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 standard (ISO/IEC 17025: 2017).
