Data Logger Calibration

A data logger is an electronic tool which automatically observes and logs environmental and atmospheric factors over a pre-determined or ongoing time period. It allows for the measurement, documentation, analysis and validation of existing conditions. Data logging machines feature a sensor that receives the information as well as a computer chip that stores the data. That information is then transferred to a computer to be analysed. For the most accurate analysis of information, it’s crucial that the data logger has been correctly and properly calibrated.

HK Calibration Technologies Pty Ltd (HKCT) can calibrate many types of data loggers and also sell or hire you the logger to perform your monitoring Australia wide. Whether you require calibration of a Logging 309 Thermometer “K” Type Temperature Data Logger or you need calibration of a Pcwi Batch Oven Temperature Datalogger, you can rest assured that we can give you the precision you’re looking for.

Ensuring Optimal Calibration for a Vast Range of Data Logging Applications

Data logging applications include:


  • Unattended weather station recording (such as wind speed /direction, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation).
  • Unattended gas pressure recording.
  • Measure temperatures (humidity, etc.) of perishables during shipments: Cold chain.
  • Process monitoring for maintenance and troubleshooting applications.
  • Process monitoring to verify warranty conditions.
  • Measure vibration and handling shock (drop height) environment of distribution packaging.
  • Tank level monitoring.
  • Environmental monitoring.
  • Monitoring of relay status in railway signalling.
  • Recording trend data at regular intervals in veterinary vital signs monitoring.
  • Load profile recording for energy consumption management.
  • Temperature, Humidity and power use for heating and air conditioning efficiency studies.
  • Water level monitoring for groundwater studies.
  • Digital electronic bus sniffer for debug and validation.
  • Remote temperature and humidity monitoring of warehouse facilities and the like.

Different data loggers are best suited to particular actions, for example if you needed calibration of a PCWI Batch Oven Temperature DataLogger it would likely be to gauge the temperature in something like a commercial oven or industrial freezer, while calibration of a Logging 309 Thermometer “K” Type Temperature Data Logger would best serve you for more general applications.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Data loggers are critical for monitoring sensitive environments; however, their sensors can drift due to battery fluctuations or environmental exposure. Professional calibration ensures your temperature and humidity records remain accurate and legally defensible, which is vital for passing Australian regulatory audits and maintaining ISO 17025 compliance.

    Most Australian businesses require professional calibration every 12 months. For high-stakes sectors like vaccine storage, medical research, or international food export, 6-monthly intervals are recommended to ensure the continuous integrity of the cold chain and prevent costly stock loss.

    Yes, HK Calibrations provides on-site mobile calibration for fixed monitoring systems across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Our mobile teams certify your loggers within their actual operating environment, eliminating the risk of data gaps and the logistical hassle of removing equipment from service.

    Traceable calibration provides a documented chain of accuracy back to national standards, ensuring your digital records meet Australian quality management requirements. This is essential for building managers and quality officers who must provide audit-ready data to health and safety inspectors.

    If a logger displays a sensor error or significant measurement drift, it should be removed from service immediately to avoid inaccurate compliance reporting. You should have the unit professionally inspected and recalibrated by an Australian laboratory to ensure it meets the required precision for critical environmental monitoring.

    Absolutely. We calibrate a wide range of modern digital instruments, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-based data loggers. We certify the accuracy of the internal and external sensors to ensure your automated reporting systems are reliable and compliant with Australian industry standards.
