FAQ - Tensile and Compression Testing Machine Calibration

Why is testing machine calibration necessary?

Calibration ensures the accuracy and reliability of force, displacement, and deformation measurements. Without regular calibration, test results may become inaccurate, affecting product quality, material certification, and compliance with regulatory and industry requirements.

How often should calibration be performed?

The recommended calibration interval is once a year. The required frequency may also be determined by your organisation’s quality management system policies and internal procedures.

Which parameters are verified during calibration?

During calibration, we evaluate:

  • Force measurement accuracy across the entire measuring range
  • Repeatability and reproducibility of measurement results
  • The influence of loading rate on measurement performance
  • Measurement linearity and stability
  • Compliance with the requirements of ISO 7500-1 and other applicable standards

Is calibration available for testing machines from different manufacturers?

Yes. We calibrate tensile and compression testing machines regardless of the manufacturer, design, or year of manufacture.

Which standards are applied during calibration?

Calibration is performed in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and other international standards governing the verification of testing machines, including methods for force and displacement calibration. Certified reference standards with confirmed traceability to national measurement standards are used throughout the calibration process.
