| One aspect of materials testing machines
calibration which is frequently overlooked for non-metallic
materials testing, is the verification of the displacement readout
of long- travel extensometers when either extension or modulus
readings are required. We are one of only a handful of UKAS
Accredited Calibration Laboratories that are accredited for
long-travel extensometers alongside their accreditation for
force calibrations.
Testing Calibration Services holds UKAS Accreditation for
the calibration of long-travel extensometers to BS EN ISO
5893. This type of equipment is typically used in the plastics
and rubber industries. However, the technology has recently
found applications in other fields, particularly in the testing
of geo-textiles. |
