Our force standards laboratory has facilities for calibrating from
0.1 LBF through 2,250,000
LBF, or its equivalent in Kilograms force or Newtons in compression
(1,200,000 LBF in Tension) under controlled conditions
featuring Deadweight Calibrations up to 120,000 LBF with weights directly
calibrated by N.I.S.T.. The calibration of all of our equipment is traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology. All force standards used by Morehouse comply with ASTM specification E 74 and iso guide 17025.
We are also accredited to perform ISO 376
calibration.
We offer A2LA accredited ASTM E74 calibrations as
well as ISO 376 calibration.
Many other force calibrations facilities may be A2LA accredited, but do not
offer A2LA accredited ASTM E74 calibrations (make sure to ask them, because you
might not be getting what you need). Please
Contact us
if you have any questions.
The
force calibration facilities and procedures are documented in a controlled
Quality Assurance Program Manual that provides for the requirements of the
following:
