Material testing machine calibration services at your convenience
Given the bulkiness and size of material testing machines, it’s generally easier for one of our team of highly skilled engineers to visit you and check the instrument is functioning at its optimal capacity.
All we need is a call or email to sort a convenient date and time out to come to your site and confirm your material testing machines are giving the highest precision and accuracy.
Why is calibrating your material testing machine important?
The significance of calibration in material testing machines (also known as universal testing machines or tensile testing machines) cannot be overstated. Calibration ensures these test instruments provide precise and accurate measurements, crucial for obtaining reliable test results.
Some of the key benefits of material testing machine calibration include:
- Ensuring the consistency and validity of test data, enabling you to make informed decisions about material selection, product design, and quality control.
- Safeguarding your company’s reputation and compliance with industry standards.
- Contributing to the overall safety and reliability of the products and infrastructure that rely on the materials you test.
Our material testing machine calibration process
AML’s comprehensive materials testing machine calibration service begins with a thorough assessment of your equipment, followed by implementing our state-of-the-art calibration equipment, which is meticulously maintained and regularly updated.
Our expert technicians follow manufacturers’ standards and procedures to guarantee your testing machines are correctly calibrated and comply with industry regulations. During the calibration process, we carefully examine and adjust each measurement and component of your equipment to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
We also provide detailed documentation (a calibration certificate) outlining the calibration results, enabling you to track the accuracy of your machines over time. This calibration certificate documents the entire scope of your testing machine’s calibrated range and is sent within 48 hours of service completion.
Material force testing components requiring calibrating
Several components and ancillaries require calibration to ensure the accuracy of a material testing machine. These include:
- Load cells: These sensors measure the force applied during a test and convert it into an electrical signal. Calibrating load cells is critical for ensuring accurate force measurements.
- Extensometers: These devices measure material deformation or elongation during a test. Proper calibration of extensometers ensures precise strain measurements.
- Crosshead Positioning: This component controls the movement of the testing machine during a test. Calibrating the crosshead ensures accurate positioning and displacement measurements.
- Speed controllers: These regulate the testing machine’s speed during a test. Calibrating speed controllers helps maintain the correct test speed and ensures consistent results.
Our expert technicians methodically calibrate each component and ancillary, ensuring your equipment performs optimally across its entire spectrum of operation.
Material testing machine industry standards compliance
Whether you’re carrying out material strength tests, material stress tests, or tensile tests, all calibrations AML provide are compliant with National and International standards. Some of the standards we calibrate our customer materials testing machines to include:
- BS EN ISO 7500-1:2018 – Metallic materials – Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines (UK & International).
- ASTM E4 – Standard Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines (International).
- ASTM E83 – Standard Practice for Verification and Classification of Extensometer Systems (International).
- BS EN ISO 9513:2012 – Metallic materials – Calibration of extensometer systems used in uniaxial testing (UK & International).
Adhering to these material testing standards is essential for helping manufacturers, researchers, and businesses achieve compliance with industry regulations, build trust with clients, and attain reliable and consistent test results.
