Mining operations rely on precision to keep workers safe and stay within federal law. CIH Equipment provides expert mining equipment calibration services that help you avoid MSHA fines and keep your site running. We specialize in calibrating a wide range of instruments that face the harshest conditions in the industry.
Whether you operate in the Powder River Basin or the Appalachian coal fields, our accredited calibration service gives you the data you need to protect your crew.
Precision Calibration for Harsh Mining Environments
Mining is a dirty job. Your testing equipment deals with extreme sensor drift caused by coal dust, high humidity, and constant vibration. These factors pull your instruments out of tolerance faster than in a clean lab setting.
Our mining equipment calibration services address these environmental stresses directly. We do not just run a standard check. We examine how particulate buildup affects your dust monitor service for mines.
Our technicians understand that a portable gas detector used in a Nevada gold mine or an Arizona copper pit faces different challenges than one in a climate-controlled warehouse.

Our calibration laboratories are equipped to handle the specialized tools used in the mining industry. We offer a broad scope of services to cover your entire safety program.
Gas and Dust Monitoring
A portable gas detector repair or calibration is a high-stakes task. We calibrate sensors to detect hazardous atmospheres in confined spaces. We also provide dust monitor service for mines, checking the optical paths and flow rates of your dust monitors to handle high particulate loads.
Pressure and Physical Measurement
Our team services pressure gauges and flow meters used in ventilation systems and hydraulic machinery. Maintaining the correct pressure in mining systems prevents mechanical failures and improves safety.
Intrinsically Safe Instruments
Mining environments often require intrinsically safe instrument calibration. We handle these specialized devices with care, making sure they maintain their safety ratings while providing accurate data.

Accuracy is not a guess. It is a calculated science. CIH Equipment holds ISO 17025:2017 accreditation. This means our calibration services meet the highest global standards for technical competence.
When we calculate measurement uncertainty, we account for every variable. This gives you confidence in your readings. In the event of an MSHA audit or a safety investigation, having ISO 17025:2017 documentation provides a solid defense of your safety program.
Onsite Service Options
For large-scale operations in regional hubs like the Iron Range or the Illinois Basin, we offer on-site service. This reduces the time your equipment is out of the field. We bring the expertise of our calibration laboratories directly to your facility, performing calibrations on your schedule.

Most manufacturers and MSHA guidelines recommend a bump test before each shift and a full calibration every 30 to 90 days. However, in high-dust environments, you may need more frequent service to account for sensor drift.
We prioritize speed to minimize your downtime. Most instruments are processed within 5 to 7 business days. We also offer expedited shipping and on-site service for larger fleets.
Yes. All calibrations performed by CIH Equipment come with certificates that are NIST traceable. This is a requirement for both MSHA compliance calibration and ISO 17025:2017 standards.
We service a wide range of instruments, including older models. If your equipment is still in good working order, we can calibrate it to the necessary specifications. If it requires repair, our technicians can evaluate the parts needed.
Yes. Coal dust can coat sensors and filters, leading to “lazy” readings or complete sensor failure. Our calibration process includes cleaning and inspecting these components to maintain accuracy.
