About Us

Procter & Chester (Measurements) Ltd, sometimes better known simply as PCM, can offer you a wealth of experience when it comes to strain gauging and load cells.

Established in 1983, there aren’t many industries or types of application that we haven’t been involved in.

Having held a Bureau Veritas accredited ISO 9001 quality system since 1994, you can be assured to receive a quality, fully traceable service from us every time. To view our current ISO 9001:2015 certificate, please click here.

We offer a full complement of services to best assist our customers; be it a standard load cell system, equipment for hire, strain gauging installation to load cell repair and calibration, we deliver it all. As an independent company we can select the most suitable components for each project to ensure the optimum result is achieved.

We have recently added to our list of services as we became a UKAS accredited force calibration laboratory. We now offer fully accredited UKAS calibrations as well as traceable calibrations. To find out more about our calibration facility, download our Calibration Guide.

To ensure the quality and integrity of every installation, we never subcontract strain gauging to third parties.

The only sector that we are not involved with is when ATEX rated equipment is required.  This is not a service/product range that we offer.

Our workmanship comes with recommendations from organisations large and small. We are known for our clear communication and essentially for delivering the service and quality expected, on time and within budget.

Whatever your project, our experienced team is happy to advise and provide recommendations as required. With an in-house design service too, we can easily design something that is custom to your requirements if a standard solution isn’t suitable.
