Calibration service for force transducers saves time and costs

HBM is offering a new simplified DAkkS-accredited calibration service for force transducers that is designed to reduce time and costs, whether the transducers are being used for industrial measurement applications in the monitoring of production processes, or in test benches for research and development purposes.

Calibration service for force transducers saves time and costs

The calibration service provides very high accuracy with measurement uncertainty ranging from 0.005 per cent to 0.02 per cent of the actual value. In addition, the calibration service covers a range from 2.5N to 5MN for tensile and compressive forces; HBM says this is the largest range available through DAkkS. The reference standards used are regularly verified by comparison measurements with the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), the German Metrology Institute.

Quality processes increasingly include requirements for calibration certificates verifying accredited calibration processes. The new service from HBM ensures that audits can be reliably passed. Every calibrated transducer is authenticated with a certificate that automatically provides proof of traceability. The certificate also includes a statement of measurement uncertainty and conformity to assist the audit process.

HBM's primary focus has always been on safety and precision. Personnel are highly experienced and competent, while HBM's DAkkS calibration laboratory was the first to be accredited in Germany in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 (at the time, this was part of the DKD, the German Calibration Service).
