Load Cells and Digital Testers

Load cell with Digital tester and printer during the calibration of a compression tester.
Strain gauge load cells are used to measure the force applied. They provide a very accurate electrical signal strictly proportional to the applied load. We propose a wide and comprehensive range of measuring instruments for force verification and calibration of various testing machines. The range include load cells, ranging from 5 kN to 5000 kN, digital indicators for force verification and for load transfer verification according to the main International Standard. Traceable calibration certificate for load cells shall be purchased when they are connected to digital indicator. As alternative, official ACCREDIA calibration certificate can be purchased instead.

Digital Instrumentation

Connected to any strain gauge load cell, it is used for the force verification of testing machine

Digimax Plus 82-P0801/E (in the middle) with 3000 kN load cell 82-E0100/300 and 82-P0172/M printer
Description

 

The system, connected to any strain gauge load cell, provides data for the force verification of the testing machine. Data can be printed by a standard serial printer as, for example, our model 82-P0172  with serial cable 82-P0172/1 (see accessories), or unloaded to PC for processing and, by the relevant MS Excel template 82-P0804/E4 (see accessories), for producing the test certificate conforming to the standard in use as, for example, EN 12390-4 or ASTM C39 for concrete compression testers.
The Digimax Plus, connected to one of our load cells 82-E0100/30 to 82-E01000/500 can be supplied complete with Official or Traceable calibration certificate. See ordering information. Each cell has to be calibrated separately and the certificate refer to one cell only
