Having these calibrated at regular intervals would probably be as expensive as having a pressure gauge calibrated. Buying a calibrated pressure gauge isn't expensive - we got one from RS last year for £50. If a boiler goes bang and you can't prove traceability, the Insurance will become invalid. Hello, Mr McKay.
