Force calibration is a process used to verify and adjust the accuracy and precision of force measuring instruments and equipment, such as load cells. It ensures that these instruments provide reliable and accurate measurements of force, which is essential in various applications and industries, including manufacturing, quality control, research, and testing.
In force calibration, a reference standard or known force (i.e. a weight) is used as a benchmark to compare and validate the readings of the instrument being calibrated. This reference standard is typically a calibrated force measurement device with a known and traceable force value. Force calibration is essential for ensuring the traceability of measurements.
