Do you have a specific task? We will get back to you with a recommendation.
A calibration tells you how far your measuring equipment deviates from the truth. Quality management standards require it at regular intervals — but the real reason for it is so that you can trust your own figures.
We calibrate load cells, force sensors and force transducers, as well as tensile and compression testing machines, scales and weights. Testing machines are calibrated on site, regardless of the manufacturer.
Calibration is carried out against reference standards whose link to the international standards is documented without a gap. That is the point of it: calibration establishes the traceability of your measuring equipment and is therefore the legal and technical safeguard for your products and measurement results.
Our reference standards are regularly linked to the international standards by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany and the Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen (BEV) in Austria.
What we calibrate
| What | Range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Force | ||
| Force measuring devices of tensile and compression testing machines | Tension 0.01 N to 1000 kN Compression 0.01 N to 5000 kN |
on site, regardless of manufacturer |
| Force transducers and mobile hand-held force measuring devices | Compression up to 5000 kN Tension up to 600 kN |
according to DKD-R 3-3 |
| Adhesion testing devices, all types | — | accredited procedure |
| Static load plates | — | according to DKD-R 3-3, in our laboratory |
| Length | ||
| Displacement measuring systems of testing machines | — | together with the force measuring device this gives the complete calibration of the machine |
| Mass | ||
| Non-automatic scales, all types, laboratory and production | up to 150 t | — |
| Crane scales | up to 60 t | with special loading devices in the laboratory |
| Platform scales, such as axle load scales | up to 60 t | high loads on a small weighing surface |
| Weights, class M1 | 1 mg to 1000 kg | on site on request |
| Weights, class F1 | 1 mg to 20 kg | — |
| Special types of weights | — | such as loading weights for torque test stands or custom-made weights |
Cooperation partners on site keep travel times short.

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.
The quality and precision of our calibration procedures are continuously checked by the accreditation body, among other things through the mandatory regular participation in interlaboratory comparisons.
Test equipment management
On request we take care of monitoring your test equipment completely:
- Timely recalibration. Repeat measurements are carried out within the timeframes agreed with you.
- Reminder service. We notify you in good time before the calibration interval expires.
- Traceability documented. The link of our reference standards to PTB and BEV is on record.
Not sure which calibration your measuring equipment needs, or at what interval? Tell us briefly what you measure and what the figures are used for — we will tell you what makes sense.
