Regular calibrations and checks are not only required by common quality management standards – above all, they provide you with absolute certainty that your measurement data is accurate. Still unsure about choosing the right service? Then opt for octogon's calibration service for force transducers and load cells. We will be happy to advise you personally to find the optimal solution for your requirements.
Calibration according to ÖNORM EN ISO/IEC 17025
Together with our partner, as an accredited calibration laboratory, we perform precise calibrations for the measured quantities of force, length, and mass – including for load cells, force sensors, and force transducers. The basis for our accreditation is ÖNORM EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Importance of Test Equipment Monitoring
The systematic monitoring of test equipment has significantly gained importance across all industries in recent years. Calibration ensures the seamless traceability of your measuring instruments to national and international standards. For production companies and testing laboratories, it thus offers indispensable legal and technical security for their products and measurement results.
Our Service: Calibration & Test Equipment Management
We take care of the complete monitoring of your test equipment:
-
Timely Recalibration: Repeat measurements are reliably carried out within the agreed-upon timeframes.
-
Active Reminder Service: We will notify you in good time before the respective calibration period expires.
-
Highest Standards: Our reference standards are regularly connected to international standards by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany and the Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen (BEV) in Austria.
Quality and Safety through Interlaboratory Comparisons
The quality and precision of our calibration procedures are continuously checked by the accreditation body through mandatory, regular participation in interlaboratory comparisons.
Calibration of Tensile and Compression Testing Machines
Calibration of Tensile and Compression Testing Machines
We calibrate the force measuring devices of tensile and compression testing machines on-site, regardless of the manufacturer.
Within our accreditation, we can cover a range from 0.01 N to 1000 kN (tensile testing machines) and 5000 kN (compression testing machines).
Since our accreditation extends to the displacement measuring systems of the testing machines (see measured quantity length), we can offer a complete calibration.
Calibration of Force Sensors
According to the Dakks guideline DKD-R 3-3, we calibrate force transducers and mobile hand-held force measuring devices in compression direction up to 5000 kN and in tension direction up to 600 kN.
Calibration of Adhesion Testing Devices
We calibrate adhesion testing devices of all types using an accredited procedure.
Calibration of Static Load Plates
Upon request, we can perform accredited calibrations of static load plates in our laboratory according to guideline DKD-R 3-3
Calibration of Mass Measuring Devices
Calibration of Scales
In addition to calibrating all types of non-automatic scales in the laboratory and production area up to a maximum load of 150 t, we also offer the calibration of crane scales up to 60 t and platform scales (such as axle load scales) with high loads up to 60 t and small weighing surfaces.
Platform scales and crane scales are calibrated with special loading devices in the bvfs laboratory.
Through our cooperation partners on-site, we are able to keep travel times short.
Calibration of Weights
The calibration laboratory is accredited for the calibration of weights of
Class M1 from 1 mg to 1000 kg (on-site calibration possible)
Special types of weights can also be calibrated, such as loading weights for torque test stands or custom-made weights
Class F1 from 1 mg to 20 kg
