We’ll Take It From There.
You don’t have to be local to use an accredited lab. System Scale’s Laboratories accepts ship-in instruments from customers across the country: balances, test weights, force gauges, pressure instruments, and dimensional tools. Pack it, ship it, and we’ll return it calibrated with a NIST-traceable certificate, typically within 5–7 business days. Rush turnaround is available on request. Our field calibration team also serves West Georgia and East Alabama, including the Chattahoochee Valley, for on-site visits. Either way, certificates are NIST-traceable.
Industries We Serve
The Columbus region’s industrial base spans food and beverage processing, battery and chemical manufacturing, building materials, and automotive-supply-chain manufacturing tied to the West Georgia corridor, alongside logistics and defense-support operations connected to Fort Benning. System Scale’s Columbus team already works with quality and operations leaders across this base through our Columbus scale office. The Columbus Laboratory extends that relationship with broader-scope, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration. If your quality department defends calibration records to an auditor, we’re built for that conversation.

Dimensional: gauge blocks, pin and plug gauges, plain ring gauges, thread gauges, surface plates, and measuring tape.
Force: load cells, crane scales, force gauges, dynamometers, compression testers, deadweight testers, and weight sets up to 100,000 lbs.
Pressure: pressure gauges, vacuum gauges, manometers, magnehelic gauges, differential gauges, and compound gauges.
Temperature & Humidity: ovens, freezers, temperature baths, chart recorders, dataloggers, pyrometers, and temperature/humidity meters.
All calibration certificates are NIST-traceable. Records are stored and accessible through CalVault, our cloud-based asset management platform. Typical ship-in turnaround is 3–5 business days. Rush turnaround is available on request.
Yes. System Scale provides ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services for customers in Columbus, Georgia, and across our service region.
Our Columbus Lab team supports both on-site and in-lab calibration needs, including NIST-traceable calibration and Legal for Trade scale testing where applicable. This helps manufacturers, laboratories, food processors, logistics operations, and industrial facilities maintain compliance, reduce measurement risk, and meet audit requirements.
Both. Our scale and lab technicians can calibrate equipment on-site at your facility, or you can ship or drop off equipment for in-house calibration at our lab. We handle a wide range of precision hand tools, laboratory equipment, and many smaller scales in-house.
Truck and vehicle scale service isn’t part of our lab scope. For truck scale installation, repair, and certification in the Columbus area, our Columbus office handles that work.
We’ve been 100% employee-owned since 1995. That means the technician servicing your equipment has a personal stake in the work. It also means we’re not getting acquired or “flipped.” The relationship you build with our Columbus Lab team is the one that is here to stay.
Yes. Preventative maintenance contracts are available for your calibrated instruments. Scheduled calibration visits catch drift and failures before they affect your process or audit results, and all calibration records are tracked and accessible in CalVault.
Many customers on a PM contract run on a 6-month or annual calibration cycle depending on instrument type and regulatory requirements.
System Scale customers can access calibration certificates through CalVault, our secure online certificate and asset management portal.
CalVault provides 24/7 access to calibration certificates, service records, asset history, due dates, and documentation needed for audits or internal quality reviews. It helps quality, maintenance, and operations teams stay organized without searching through paper files or email chains.
If you need help accessing your account or setting up a login, the System Scale team can assist.
Our ship-in calibration service is available nationwide. We’ve also fulfilled international orders. Pack your instruments and ship them to our Columbus facility; we’ll return them calibrated with NIST-traceable certificates, typically within 3–5 business days.
For on-site calibration, our field team regularly serves Georgia and Alabama, including Columbus, Phenix City, Auburn, Opelika, and LaGrange, and can extend further with our network of System Scale offices across the Southeast and Midwest. Rush turnaround and extended service areas are available on request.
All records are stored in CalVault regardless of where service is performed.
