Load Cell Calibration Standard

The calibration standard iso 376 also available under the european denomination en iso 376 has been developed within the scope of the normalisation of metallic materials and is entitled.

Load cell calibration standard.

The system can be set for up to 39 calibration points. For secondary standard reference force dynamometers i e. Calibration of force measurement instruments used for the verification of uniaxial testing machines. Annual re calibration is considered best practice by many load cell users for ensuring the most accurate measurements.

Transfer reference force transducers iso 376. Interface load cell calibration systems are available in design configurations for a wide range of rigid and portable systems. We offer strain gage load cell calibration systems for nearly any force measurement application including custom designs. Used as a reference for the calibration of other dynamometers.

Iso9000 and most other standards specify a maximum period of around 18 months to 2 years between re calibration procedures dependent on the level of load cell deterioration. All of these high accuracy load cells can be supplied with calibration and certification to internationally recognised standards including bs en iso 376 astm e74 and ukas. It deals more generally with calibration methods. In the majority of cases these load cells are supplied with digital instrumentation to provide a fully certified stand alone load or for measurement system.

This standard which was developed in the usa serves the same purpose as iso 376. Load cell calibration in a typical two channel system one channel is connected to the reference standard load cell and one channel is connected to the load cell being calibrated. The 1800 platinum standard series is machined with an integral stud and has a 2 lower load limit.
