Inspection and calibration of measuring devices used for acceptance of saw logs

  • Checking the function and setting of measuring devices for the diameter and length of saw logs
  • Issuance of a legally valid document confirming the equipment’s ability to operate in accordance with acceptance regulations

Calibration principle

  • Measurement of diameter and length standards with calibrated equipment
  • Comparison of standard values with values given by calibrated equipment
  • Evaluation of deviations, accuracy and determination of measurement uncertainties
  • Comparison of results with requirements according to acceptance conditions

Certificate of accreditation

  • Since its establishment, the laboratory has consistently met the requirements of both the Czech Metrology Institute and the Czech Institute for Accreditation and holds a certificate of professional and technical competence. This allows it to perform calibration measurements of electronic devices for measuring geometric parameters of wood and issue calibration certificates with the ILAC MRA mark with international legal validity.

Other services

  • Consulting activities in the field of wood measurement
  • Training (courses) for equipment operators – identification and measurement of wood defects, quality sorting of logs, measurement of geometric dimensions of wood, legislation in the field of wood measurement
