S/R Transducer Calibration Equipment and Standards

Having appropriate torque application tools and calibrating them properly and regularly are the first steps towards assembly integrity. For many firms, internal calibration of the torque testers themselves presents a significant cost savings as well as a means of asserting positive control over their calibration practices.

For those desiring this enhancement of savings and control, we offer the best in transducer calibration equipment and standards. All S/R calibration platforms, weights, and arms come with a NIST-traceable certification.

Transducer Calibration System Design
We work with each customer individually to design the optimum system for their needs in their operation at their location.

Our attention to detail even extends to weights compensated for gravitational variation.

Calibration Table
Proper support for the components used in transducer calibration is absolutely essential. Insufficient support can result in the entire process biased by deflection! Our Calibration Table is designed not merely to support the weight of fixtures, arms, and weights, but to assure exceptional stability. A sound foundation is essential building accuracy!

Calibration Fixture
The S/R Calibration Fixture is a masterpiece of load management design! The calibration arms are supported in a dual-bearing system to effectively eliminate measurement error attributable to side loading. When used with the S/R Calibration Table, load distribution is managed to assure the greatest precision and the lowest possible measurement uncertainty.

Calibration Arms
All S/R Calibration Arms use an arc design to assure stability of the center-to-load point distance throughout the entire calibration process.
Calibration arm lengths are measured using the latest in laser linear measurement equipment for the ultimate in precision.
Inifinite adjustability of counterweight location within the limits of travel assures the ability to start from level with each calibration and reduces another source of variation.
S/R has four Calibration Arms ranging from 2.5 in./ (63.5 mm) through 48 in./ (1219.2 mm) in lever length.

Calibration Weights and Platforms
The platforms and weights selected for use with each system are chosen for accuracy, process efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

With the proper gravitational survey information, the weights can be custom-made with a gravitational offset. This not only assists in obtaining the desired accuracy, it eliminates the need for cumbersome and error-prone offset calculations.
