Onsite Calibration

 MTS has field service organizations trained to perform your necessary onsite transducer and system calibrations. Many of the MTS Onsite Calibration services are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and comply with a wide range of ASTM and ISO test methods. Our engineers are equipped with the necessary calibration equipment, traceable through NIST or other recognized National Metrology Institutes, and utilize our proprietary automated calibration software to reliably deliver your calibration data. A calibration report and certificate is issued showing As Found/As Left calibration data.

Metrology Laboratory

 The MTS Metrology Laboratory provides a full range of in-house calibration services to meet your measurement and test equipment special requirements, including both ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and non-accredited calibration services.

For transducers that are integrated into test systems:

• Torque
• Pressure
• Linear displacement
• Angle (rotary transducers)

Factory calibration for transducers: 

• Force transducer calibration - axial calibration up to 220,000 lbf 
• Torque transducer calibration - up to 100,000 lbf.in 
• Pressure transducer calibration - up to 10,000 psi 

Multi-axial Calibration

Provided exclusively by MTS Metrology Laboratory

While most wheel force transducers are calibrated one channel at a time, SWIFT Evo units go through a meticulous, automated process that calibrates the entire transducer, cycling through each channel while exciting all others. This approach enables precise measurements of cross-coupling coefficients under far more realistic loading conditions.

The calibrated SWIFT Evo wheel force transducer yields data that can be shared across units with very high fidelity; providing flexibility to dedicate specific units for RLDA, drive file generation or durability testing, while maintaining data integrity across the process.

SWIFT Evo Calibration Parameters:

• Electrical
• Mechanical
• Dimensional
• Time/frequency
• Temperature/humidity
• Vibration

An MTS Field Service Engineer will arrive onsite to provide the calibration and leave a report. With controller calibration, you will receive comprehensive measurement performance data for each Signal Conditioner, A/D and D/A.

In addition, if adjustment is warranted or optimization is desired, the Field Service Engineer will consult with you regarding onsite adjustment options.

Why It Matters

Your test data is only as good as the measurement accuracy of the equipment you use to collect it. With an onsite FlexTest calibration, you can help make sure that your controller is providing the best performance possible, maximizing test data accuracy.

MTS FlexTest Calibration Options

• Input A/D
• Output D/A
• Signal Conditioners
  • DC Mode Only
  • AC Mode Only
  • DC and AC Mode

Customer is responsible for disconnecting and reconnecting cables to the test system.

Eligible Controllers

• FlexTest Elite Performance
• FlexTest 200
• FlexTest 100
• FlexTest 60
• FlexTest 40

Dynamic Force Verification

Some level of under- and/or over-testing exists when running cyclic testing of materials. MTS can help minimize these effects by performing Dynamic Force Verification in compliance with NASM 1312B and ASTM E467.

Speed Verification for Static Testing

Originally designed to verify crosshead speed for electromechanical test systems, this traceable process can also be used for verification of actuator speed for servohydraulic test systems performing monotonic testing of materials verification in compliance with ASTM E2658.

Static Alignment Verification

Testing system misalignment can lead to false early specimen failure. Using our standard 709 alignment software and 12 gage alignment devices, our field engineers will perform an Alignment Verification in compliance with ASTM E1012 and NASM 1312B.
