It’s no secret the mind and body change as we age. But getting older doesn’t mean the end. The same applies for your legacy universal testing machines. If they’ve been displaying inaccurate tensile readings or enjoying substantial downtime, it’s easy to think it’s time for a change. But change (buying a new materials testing machine)
Weighing balances are essential measuring instruments used to determine the mass of an object. This guide will not only highlight how differ from weighing scales, but also identify the different types of laboratory balances, their common uses, and the things you can do to keep them in tip-top condition. What is a weighing balance? Also known
Finding a reliable torque wrench calibration service can be tricky. Without it, you can’t be confident your torque tool is delivering precise tightening or loosening of bolts, nuts, and other fasteners. Let’s look at how torque wrenches are calibrated and how regular maintenance can help you uphold quality control standards, safety, and compliance with the latest ISO standard
Thermometers have become indispensable testing tools in today’s fast-paced world. From optimising crop growth and diagnosing fevers to measuring fuel temperature and ensuring food safety, thermometers are used in a wide variety of settings to monitor and control temperature. However, their readings can slowly decrease in accuracy over time, so the only way you can
Poorly tested packaging has ruined many a Christmas. However, for any business involved in shipping and receiving packages, the damage goes beyond the spoilt surprises. Incorporating robust packaging testing methods into your quality control processes will help you validate whether your packaging can survive in real-world shipping conditions. It’s a core part of delivering quality
What does it mean to calibrate a scale? Scale calibration is the means of checking the accuracy of weighing equipment. Examples of this could include; a weigh balance from an analytical lab, a set of larger industrial floor scales for measuring the weight of components, or even a weighbridge for industrial vehicles. Why do scales need to
Accurately capturing and evaluating colour is vital for helping manufacturers and researchers check the colour and clarity of their materials and products. This requires quantitative data that calculates and details colour in a precise and objective way, replacing subjective human visual assessment. A quality test instrument known as a colour spectrophotometer is widely used in
In this age of on-demand, one of the biggest challenges for businesses is meeting customer expectations of absolute immediacy. The calibration landscape is no different. AML Instruments (an industry-leading provider of on-site calibration services for more than 30 years) has seen a surge in demand for on-site calibration services, as well as our express off-site
Once you’ve purchased some weighing scales or balances, you’ll still need to regularly test their accuracy and performance. Whether you’re a food manufacturer measuring fresh fruit and veg day-in, day-out, or a packaging specialist using floor scales to weigh bulky items such as crates and large parcels, choosing the correct scales calibration weights for your
Calibrating a pressure gauge is a critical process that involves comparing the gauge’s readings to a known and traceable standard to ensure its measuring pressure accurately. Read on to discover what a pressure gauge calibration process entails and why it’s an important part of pressure gauge precision and stability, as well as industry safety and compliance.
Tensile testing of materials is a crucial step in understanding how materials respond to tensile forces (the external load or pulling force applied). Let’s learn more about this destructive form of testing, and how it helps engineers and manufacturers ensure their products meet the required levels of ductility and strength. What is tensile material testing
What is a universal testing machine? Universal testing machines (UTMs) are multi-purpose test instruments used to determine the mechanical properties of materials under various loads, including composites, metals, and plastics. Along with ensuring accuracy and repeatability, a universal testing machine also offers superior control and stability during the testing process. As the name suggests, they
