ISO / IEC 17025 Accredited Mechanical Calibration Services. Ensure the highest levels of accuracy and compliance for mechanical measurement devices
What are Mechanical Calibrations?
Mechanical calibration involves verifying and adjusting the accuracy of instruments that measure physical properties such as force, torque, and pressure. It is crucial for ensuring the precision and reliability of these instruments measuring torque, pressure, force, hardness and more. Bagan is well-equipped for a variety of mechanical calibrations across a spectrum of methods including primary calibrations by first principles, by comparison the use of certified reference materials.
Mechanical Calibration Capabilities
General Mechanical Calibration
Force Calibrations: Compression & Tension
Force Gages
Force gauges are used to measure the tensile and compressive force applied.
Load Cells
Load cells convert force or weight into an electrical signal, used to measure and monitor loads in various applications such as scales, industrial equipment, and testing machines.
Force Transducers
Force transducers convert mechanical force into an electrical signal, enabling precise measurement and monitoring of forces.
Extensometers
Extensometers are used to measure the deformation or strain of materials under mechanical stress, providing essential data for testing the mechanical properties of materials.
Hardness Testers
Barcol Hardness Testers
Barcol hardness testers are portable instruments used to measure the hardness of materials, particularly composite materials like fiberglass and other reinforced plastics, based on the indentation depth of a sharp indenter pressed into the material under a spring-loaded force..
Brinell Hardness Testers
Brinell hardness testers measure the hardness of materials by indenting a hardened steel or carbide ball into the surface under a specified load, used primarily for testing metals and providing a Brinell hardness number.
Durometer Calibrators
Durometer calibrators are used to verify and adjust the accuracy of durometers, which measure the hardness of materials, ensuring consistent and reliable hardness readings.
Microindentation Hardness Testers – Knoop/Vickers
Microindentation hardness testers are specialized instruments that measure the hardness of materials using very small indents and loads, providing precise hardness values for thin coatings, small components, and fine-grained materials.
Rockwell Hardness Testers
Rockwell hardness testers are machines used to determine the hardness of materials by measuring the depth of penetration of a steel ball or a diamond cone under a standardized load, providing a numerical hardness value based on the Rockwell scale.
Pressure
Pressure Gages
Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure of gases or liquids in a system.
Manometers
Manometers are devices used to measure the pressure of gases or liquids by comparing it to a reference pressure, using a column of liquid or two pressure transducers to indicate pressure changes.
Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers convert pressure into an electrical signal, enabling more accurate measurements of pressure.
Barometers
Barometers are used to measure atmospheric or ambient pressure.
Scales & Balances
Hopper Scales
Hopper scales are weighing systems used to measure weight and facilitate batching of bulk materials.
Platform Scales
Platform scales are large, flat weighing devices designed to measure the weight of heavy or oversized objects placed directly on their surface.
Analytical Balances
Analytical balances are highly precise weighing instruments designed for measuring small masses with exceptional accuracy.
Tachometers
Contact Tachometers
Contact tachometers are used to measure the rotational speed of machinery by physically contacting the rotating surface with a probe.
Strobo-Tachometers
Strobo-tachometers are used to measure the rotational speed of machinery by using strobe light flashes synchronized with the rotating object, allowing for precise speed measurement even at high speeds and in challenging environments.
Photo-Tachometers
Photo-tachometers are used to measure the rotational speed of machinery by detecting the frequency of light pulses reflected off a rotating surface.
Torque
Torque Tools
Torque tools are used to apply or measure a specific amount of torque (rotational force) to fasteners, ensuring accurate tightening according to specified torque settings.
Torque Transducers
Torque transducers measure and convert torque (rotational force) into an electrical signal, enabling precise measurement of torque.
