NIST Traceable Calibration Lab

Precision Calibration for Strain Gauges, Load Cells, and Torque Sensors

At Sensing Systems, we specialize in providing high-accuracy, NIST-traceable calibration services for strain gauges, load cells, and torque sensors. Our in-house calibration laboratory is equipped with advanced instrumentation and environmental controls, ensuring precise and reliable measurements that meet the highest industry standards.

Whether you’re seeking routine recalibration, system validation, or performance certification, our expert team delivers fast, traceable, and trustworthy results.

Why NIST Traceability Matters

Traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) means that every calibration we perform is part of an unbroken chain of comparisons that can be linked to nationally recognized standards. This ensures:

Repeatability – Consistent results across testing conditions and locations
Compliance – Meets ISO/IEC 17025, ASTM, and industry-specific requirements
Confidence – Reliable data you can trust for critical decisions and reporting
Quality Assurance – A cornerstone for manufacturers, R&D labs, and test facilities

Our Calibration Capabilities

We offer complete calibration services for:

Strain Gauges

Our calibration process ensures that strain gauges respond accurately to applied mechanical stress. Whether integrated into a sensor or used independently, we validate linearity, sensitivity, and response under real-world conditions.

Load Cells

We calibrate a wide range of load cells—tension, compression, shear, and multi-axis—across small and high-capacity ranges. Using precision deadweight and hydraulic systems, we simulate the exact force conditions your equipment will encounter in operation.

Torque Sensors

Our torque calibration services are designed to meet the needs of complex rotating or reaction-based applications. We calibrate torque transducers and sensors for automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and R&D industries with extreme precision.
