Force calibration is vital as it guarantees the accuracy and consistency of weight measurements, crucial for various sectors such as manufacturing, commerce, and healthcare. Proper calibration ensures adherence to standards, enhances product quality, and fosters trust in measurements, ultimately supporting fair trade practices and regulatory compliance.
Overview
Australian Calibration Group ensures force measurement instruments meet the requirements of relevant industry standards and regulations, ensuring that their processes and products meet the necessary quality and safety benchmarks. Force calibration is necessary for instruments like load cells, dynamometers, and force gauges. It’s widely used in construction, automotive, and materials testing.
STANDARDS:
- Australian Standards: AS 2193 (Calibration and Classification of Force-measuring Systems)
- International Standards: ISO 376 (Calibration of Force-Proving Instruments)
Importance
Ensuring accurate force measurements is crucial for testing material strength and maintaining safety in load-bearing applications.
