What Are Force Calibration Services?

Force calibration services involve the measurement and adjustment of force measurement equipment. Force calibration services are performed on these measuring devices to ensure accuracy and reliability. Several industries rely on regular force calibration to ensure their products meet essential quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Why Use This Method?

Devices used in force measurement applications regularly undergo precise Force Calibration testing to ensure they can be depended on to deliver their specified performance consistently.

How Does Force Calibration Work at LTI?

Force calibration is performed in one of two ways at LTI, depending on the weight capacity of the equipment being tested. Oftentimes, equipment with a capacity below 500 LBF will be calibrated using a hand-held dead weight test for tension and compression. Instruments over this limit are generally tested on a computerized force calibration machine with a capacity of 100,000 LBF. Force transducers in three ranges are available for use.

The first step is exercising your equipment to be sure it is in working order for the process to follow. Next, the appropriate equipment is selected, and the standard is set. A 5-point calibration will be run for most instruments at every 20 percent of capacity, although a higher accuracy instrument will require 10 points at 10 percent of capacity.

Results obtained during LTI’s metrology force calibration services are documented in a Certificate of Calibration.

Standards

Force gauge, dynamometer, and load cell calibration services are performed using equipment with tension and compression capacities of over 100,000 LBF. Force calibration is performed to ASTM E4 and other requested standards. The services are A2LA accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and provide NIST traceable results.

  • “You folks are top-notch in my book.”

    Please tell all involved that I really appreciate the effort put forth in trying to accommodate me with this contrary resistance unit sent in for calibration. You folks are top-notch in my book.
  • “We value the service your organization gives us.”

    I wanted to write and applaud LTI for assisting us in calibrating some new equipment, while re-calibrating equipment that was moved. We did not have enough advance notice to schedule LTI to come in and complete the calibration / re-calibration of some of our equipment. As a result, LTI did what they could to get us out of a jam and reduce the one to two week turnaround down to two days. I wanted to let LTI know that this was very much appreciated and we value the service your organization gives us.
  • “...your staff has gone over and above the call of duty to help.”

    Thank you for allowing me to visit your facility and witness a micrometer calibration first-hand, it helped me understand the concept so much better. It is clear that LTI is a wonderful group of people to work with and they operate in a true team environment. Your staff has gone over and above the call of duty to help Superior Tube. We truly appreciate your help.
