Kistler Expands Accredited Torque Calibration to 100,000 N·m

Kistler, a global provider of dynamic measurement technology, has announced an expansion of its torque calibration services. The company now offers DAkkS-accredited, traceable calibrations for measuring ranges spanning from 4 mN·m up to 100,000 N·m. This service is available for both Kistler's own products and third-party devices.

Research indicates that a significant percentage of calibrated testing and measuring devices may show deviations requiring adjustment or repair. Such undetected measurement errors can lead to inaccurate results, increased reject rates, and production losses. Kistler emphasizes that managing recurring calibration intervals is crucial for companies aiming to maintain consistent quality in development and production.

Torque calibration is a vital component of quality assurance across numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical technology. Kistler's accredited torque calibrations adhere to ISO 17025 standards, promising minimum measurement uncertainties as low as 0.01 percent. This wide measuring range is supported by five calibration systems. The company also offers service calibrations for third-party products within the upper measuring range of 5,000 to 100,000 N·m, providing a comprehensive calibration service.

Kistler recommends regular calibrations to ensure maximum measurement reliability, as measuring instruments are subject to various influences such as wear, aging, overloads, shocks, and environmental factors. Suggested calibration intervals typically range from six months to two years, with precise determination possible through individual risk analysis based on operating conditions.

In addition to its DAkkS-accredited calibrations, Kistler provides factory and service calibrations that are based on relevant standards. The company states that consistent monitoring of measuring instruments' metrological behavior through regular torque calibration can optimize production processes and uphold quality standards, offering insights for defining optimal calibration intervals.

With decades of experience, advanced technology, and a global network of accredited calibration laboratories, Kistler aims to support companies worldwide in their production processes by ensuring high measurement accuracy and long-term process stability.
