Digital Calibration and Smarter Equipment Rentals

High-quality data begins with properly conducted Industrial Hygiene (IH) sampling. Whether you’re evaluating airborne contaminants or monitoring heat stress, reliable data starts with properly calibrated equipment and access to the right instruments when and where you need them.

At SGS, we continually refine our processes to make sampling more efficient and dependable. Our new digital calibration sheets, combined with the trusted SGS equipment rental program, help IH professionals streamline workflow, improve data management, and maintain confidence in every measurement.

Digital Calibration Sheets

Calibration is one of the most important steps in the sampling process, ensuring every reading you collect reflects true workplace conditions. Traditionally, calibration certificates have accompanied equipment in hard copy form, useful in the field, but less convenient for teams managing multiple projects or maintaining digital records.

To support more efficient data management, SGS now provides digital calibration sheets automatically with every pump and rental order. When your order ships, you’ll receive an email with tracking information and your calibration documentation attached. You’ll still receive a printed copy with your shipment, but the digital version gives your team immediate access for review, sharing, and archiving.

THIS SMALL IMPROVEMENT HELPS:

  • Maintain clear, traceable records for QA/QC and compliance audits
  • Simplify digital project file management
  • Provide real-time access for field and office teams alike

By integrating calibration documentation into the shipping process, SGS helps ensure your projects start with the highest confidence in data accuracy.

SMARTER EQUIPMENT RENTALS

Even the most experienced IH teams need access to specialized equipment from time to time. SGS makes that simple with a full spectrum of Industrial Hygiene, Health & Safety equipment available for rent, each unit prepared, calibrated, and ready to deploy.

Every rental includes:

  • Project-specific equipment settings, preconfigured for your sampling plan
  • A free return shipping label (Continental U.S. only)
  • 24/7/365 access to SGS technical experts for setup, calibration, and troubleshooting support

Whether you’re conducting short-term exposure assessments or large-scale monitoring campaigns, SGS offers the tools and technical expertise to keep your project on track. Explore the complete rental catalog here.

DESIGNED FOR FIELD EFFICIENCY

Both the digital calibration update and the rental program stem from a single goal: to make sampling more efficient and reliable for today’s Industrial Hygiene professionals. From the lab to the field, SGS provides the tools, data, and expertise you need to deliver accurate results, on time and with confidence.
