Calibration service – accredited torque calibration from Kistler now available up to 100,000 N·m

Studies show that around eight percent of all calibrated testing and measuring devices are found to have deviations that require adjustment or repair. Undetected measurement errors lead to inaccurate results, increased reject rates and production losses. The management of recurring calibration intervals is therefore an important factor in differentiating oneself from the competition and ensuring consistently high quality in development and production.

Torque calibration is an essential part of quality assurance in numerous industries, from the automotive and aerospace sectors to medical technology. Kistler offers accredited torque calibrations in accordance with ISO 17025 and guarantees minimum measurement uncertainties of up to 0.01 percent. The very wide measuring range from 4 mN·m to 100,000 N·m is covered by five ultra-modern calibration systems. Thanks to the unique calibration system and particularly in the upper measuring range of 5,000 to 100,000 N·m, Kistler can also offer service calibrations for third-party products – providing customers with additional high-quality calibration services from a single source.

Measuring instruments are subject to various influences throughout their service life: Wear and ageing can affect sensor accuracy; overloads and shocks may lead to permanent deformation or damage; temperature and environmental influences can change the measurement behavior. Kistler therefore recommends regular calibrations to ensure maximum measurement reliability. The recommended calibration intervals are between six months and two years, depend on the operating conditions and can be precisely determined with an individual risk analysis.

Service and traceable torque calibrations available

In addition to calibrations accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) in accordance with ISO 17025, Kistler also offers factory and service calibrations that are merely based on the standard. Regular torque calibration is the key to optimizing production processes and maintaining high quality standards. By continuously monitoring the metrological behavior of their measuring instruments, users gain valuable insights into their processes and how to define optimal calibration intervals.

Thanks to decades of experience in measurement technology, state-of-the-art technology and a global network of accredited calibration laboratories, Kistler is one of the leading providers and helps companies worldwide to produce successfully. Customers who rely on maximum measurement accuracy and long-term process stability benefit from Kistler's high service quality and technical expertise.
