About our services
Yes. Any user of Dracal products is entitled to our customer support service, as long as the questions focus on Dracal’s specific offering (specifications, calibration, data quality, etc.).
Yes, custom modifications are possible on a wide range of products. Please contact us with your requirements and quantities to find out the feasibility of the modification, the cost and the lead time.
About our offer
To determine the availability of a product, simply go to its ordering page. Availability for each option is displayed in the order table. Still, for quantities of 100 units or more, we recommend that you contact us to check stock availability.
The SensGate has been designed to meet exactly this need safely, thanks to its long-distance network communication capabilities (Ethernet, Wi-Fi).
Another solution is to use USB extenders. As Dracal products operate at very low voltages, the options available on the market are not very restrictive, apart from quality, depending on the manufacturer chosen.
The devices with the 3-point calibration mechanism have a longer lifetime as it is possible to compensate for the natural drift of the measurements. The cost/lifetime ratio is thus considerably reduced and, just as importantly, this choice is environmental friendly.
These devices can be easily calibrated and certified by external resources (including our ISO17025 certified partner laboratory) and allow you to synchronize your various devices between them.

Shipping questions

- The transit time varies according to the country of destination.
- Business days are Monday to Friday, with the exception of holidays (Canadian or in the destination country).
- We ship from Canada.
- Orders shipped outside Canada may, depending on the destination country, incur additional import duties, taxes and charges. Those are not included and are the buyer’s responsibility. Be aware that for some countries, the additional fees can be very significant (eg: Over half the product price). It is your responsability to research prior to placing an order.
We send an email when we first receive your order and a second message once it has been shipped. Please make sure to check your spambox if the emails appear not to be getting through.

- International: 4-5 business days to most destinations.
Note: To quote Canadapost: “These service standards are not guaranteed. Service standards are estimates of how long it will take for the mail to be delivered.”
Traceable certificates
No, we no longer do. We did in the past, but we stopped because most of our customers have a tight calibration schedule and can’t afford to have a certification date that’s already a few weeks old.
The -CAL suffix option makes it possible to adjust the instruments with our polynomial 3-point-user-calibration mechanism. It does not mean that the product comes with a certificate, which needs to be purchased separately on the ordering tab of each product.
* The reason why we do not automatically provide the instruments with ISO17025 certification is that they are quite expensive and many users do not want/need to pay for it.
- You add the product and required certificate(s) to the cart and checkout.
- We receive your order and contact you by email to establish the required certification points (temperature, pressure, etc).
Calibration: If your device is equipped with the 3-point user calibration mechanism, we will ask you if you wish your device to be calibrated by the laboratory when the certificate is issued. - You confirm your requirements. From this point, the certificates are not refundable and non-modifiable.
- The products are sent to the lab. After up to 10 business days, certificates are issued.
- The certificates and the products are packed together and shipped.
