UTM Calibration and Extensometer Calibration
As a company which supplies material testing machines from Europe, it is important for us to have a good system for calibration. ABS handle this requirement as follows:
- Our engineers are factory trained.
- Our calibration laboratory, established in the mid ‘90s, has had ISO 17025 (NABL)accreditation since 2004.
- Over the years, we have developed deep relationships not only with testing machine manufacturers but also their sub-suppliers in Europe. This allows us to procure sub-components of various types machines and various makes of machines.
- We maintain close cooperation with our foreign principals to be up to date about their systems.
- A number of our Calibration masters are imported and calibrated directly at NPL or with traceability to NPL.
- We have among the best CMCs among Indian calibration labs for the parameters calibrated by us. The advantage of a superior Calibration lab CMC is lower uncertainty in the test results from machines calibrated by us.
- Support is offered to our customers through several means – in person site visits by our engineers, through phone and through team viewer, email etc.
- Separate training & knowledge sharing sessions on the machines can be organised on demand.
- At present we do the calibration of Force, Displacement, Extensometers & COD Gauges, Hardness (Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Shore, IRHD), Pendulum Impact Testers, Speed & Displacement of Universal Testing Machine cross head / piston.
- One of the first labs to get ISO 17025 accreditation for UTM calibration of force up to 5,000 kN in compression.
- One of the first labs to get ISO 17025 accreditation for UTM calibration of force up to 1,000 kN in tension.
- One of the first labs to get ISO 17025 accreditation for Extensometer calibration.
- We can do extensometer calibration up to 500 mm.
Feel free to contact us with your calibration and service requirements.
