Load Cell and Force Calibration
Tescom Calibration Services calibrates load cells, force gauges and force measuring systems from 0.5 to 60,000 lbf. The work is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by ANAB (certificate AC-1417). We calibrate at our Cedar Park and San Antonio labs, on-site in Central and South Texas, or by mail from all 50 states.
Force instruments we calibrate
- Load cells and load cell systems with indicators
- Digital and mechanical force gauges
- Force measuring systems on test stands and presses
- Pull testers and tensiometers
Accredited force range
Accredited range: 0.5 to 60,000 lbf, at both our Cedar Park and San Antonio labs. For full details, see our current scope of accreditation.
Reference standards: reference weights and reference load cells.
On-site calibration is available. Some force systems get better results in our controlled lab, and we'll recommend the best option.
Who relies on force calibration
-
Aerospace and defense: material and component test stands that support qualification and audit records.
-
Electronics manufacturing: pull, push and insertion-force testers on production lines.
-
Medical device: force testers used for device verification.
-
Clean energy: load testing of components and assemblies.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What range of load cells can you calibrate?
We calibrate load cells and force measuring systems from 0.5 to 60,000 lbf under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, at both our Cedar Park and San Antonio labs.
-
Can you calibrate load cells on-site?
Yes. On-site force calibration is available in Cedar Park, Austin, San Antonio and surrounding areas. If a system will get better results in our lab, we'll let you know.
-
How often should a load cell be calibrated?
Most load cells and force gauges are calibrated every 12 months. Calibrate sooner after an overload, a repair, or a move, or if your quality system requires it.
-
Do you calibrate force gauges?
Yes. We calibrate digital and mechanical force gauges within our 0.5 to 60,000 lbf accredited range.
-
Is load cell calibration accredited?
Yes. Force measuring systems and load cells from 0.5 to 60,000 lbf are on our ISO/IEC 17025 scope, ANAB certificate AC-1417.
