UKAS Calibration Service to ISO 17025:2017

Our force calibration laboratory is accredited to ISO 17025:2017 for the calibration of load cells to BS 8422:2003.

You may verify the laboratory detail and view our Schedule of Accreditation on the UKAS website directly, on our Resources page or simply click here.

Traceable 

PCM offer a traceable calibration service for load cells. We can calibrate most load cell makes and models from small to very large capacities, with or without an instrument. We have several high precision calibration test machines. We also calibrate free issue custom strain gauged components.

 

Traceable

  • Standard traceable calibration.
  • Loading modes: tension, compression, shear and bending.
  • Range -500kN to +5MN.

UKAS

  • Premium calibration service.
  • Accredited standard BS 8422:2003.
  • Range 0.2kN to 5MN.

Multi-Axis

  • Service available for up to 12 degrees of freedom.
  • Cross talk included.
  • Custom calibration with customised fittings.

Miscellaneous

  • NDT and destructive testing.
  • Custom strain gauged components.
  • R&D torsion up to 1500Nm.

Services

Our workmanship comes with recommendations from organisations large and small as a result of clear communications and delivering the service and quality that customers expect, on time and within budget.

Strain Gauging

We cover most material types such as, aluminium, steel, titanium, fiberglass laminates, carbon fibre composites, glass, etc. We are also happy to trial bonding to materials as part of R&D projects.

Calibration

PCM offer a calibration or repair service for damaged or suspect working load cells. We are able to work on most load cell makes and models from small to very large capacities.

Custom Design

With over 30 years’ expertise in the industry, PCM offers an efficient, cost-effective and quality custom design and build service for load cells. We aim to achieve the quickest service without compromising on excellence.

Repair

PCM offer a repair and calibration service for damaged or suspect working load cells. Similar to our calibration service, we’re able to work on the majority of load cells regardless of their manufacturer or capacity thanks to our knowledge base built up over 30 years in the industry.

Hire

PCM offers the hire of load cell systems, data logging equipment along with strain gauge installation equipment.
