The Significance of Calibration
The significance of calibration in material testing machines, universal testing machines, and tensile testing machines cannot be overstated. Calibration ensures that these machines provide precise and accurate measurements, crucial for obtaining reliable test results.
These machines play a vital role in determining the mechanical properties of materials, such as strength, ductility, and elasticity, across a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods.
Inaccurate or uncalibrated machines can lead to incorrect test results, potentially resulting in catastrophic failures or costly product recalls. Regular calibration ensures the consistency and validity of test data, enabling you to make informed decisions about material selection, product design, and quality control.
By maintaining the accuracy of your testing machines through professional calibration services, you safeguard your company’s reputation and compliance with industry standards and contribute to the overall safety and reliability of the products and infrastructure that rely on the materials you test.

We also provide detailed documentation outlining the calibration results, enabling you to track the accuracy of your machines over time. By entrusting AML Instruments with your calibration needs, you can rest assured that your material testing machines will operate with the highest level of accuracy, delivering consistent and reliable results across all tests.
Components That Require 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.
By calibrating these components and ancillaries, you can ensure the accuracy and reliability of your material testing machine, which is crucial for obtaining precise and consistent test results.
Complete Measurement Range
At AML Instruments, we take pride in offering comprehensive calibration services that cover your testing machine’s capabilities. Our expert technicians meticulously calibrate each component and ancillary, ensuring that your equipment performs optimally across its entire spectrum of operation.
Once the calibration process is complete, we provide a detailed calibration certificate that documents the entire scope of your testing machine’s calibrated range. All calibration certificates are sent within 48 hrs of completion of the service. This certification serves as a testament to our commitment to accuracy and precision and your compliance with industry standards and regulations.
By entrusting AML Instruments with your calibration needs, you can have peace of mind knowing that your material testing machine is calibrated to deliver consistent, reliable, and accurate results across its full range of operations, allowing you to focus on producing high-quality products and making informed decisions with confidence.
Industry Standards Compliance
Some of the standards we calibrate our customer materials testing machines to:
- 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)
These standards outline the requirements and procedures for calibrating material testing machines, ensuring accurate measurements, and maintaining the performance of the equipment.
Adhering to these standards is essential for ensuring compliance with industry regulations, building trust with clients, and achieving reliable and consistent test results.
