GTM calibration laboratory is re-accredited
The German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) has renewed the accreditation of the GTM calibration laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. The German company GTM is thus one of the few providers in Europe that calibrates measuring instruments for force, torque and voltage ratios.
The leading specialist in the measurement of forces and moments, according to its own GTM from Germany has received the re-accreditation of its Calibration laboratory passed. Every five years, the equipment itself is put to the test: an elaborate procedure involving several months of preparation. The manufacturer has now successfully passed the test and sees this as further confirmation of its high level of expertise in precision. After all, the calibration of measuring instruments for industry, calibration and testing laboratories is one of GTM's most important services: Traceable calibrations - from the manufacturer of goods to the state institute - form a cornerstone of the international trade in goods. If measuring equipment is inaccurate, it can drastically reduce the quality of products and processes. Possible consequences: Rejects, interruptions in production, unnecessary costs and, in the worst case, recalls and claims for compensation.
Many years of experience with calibration laboratory
The calibration laboratory at GTM has existed since 1993. The first accredited measuring device was the measuring device for force transducers up to 100 kN. Over the years, the laboratory was expanded and extended - out of own research interest, but also always with an eye on the needs of the market.
In addition to measuring equipment for calibration for force transducers, measuring equipment for torque transducers, strain gauge measuring amplifiers as well as multi-component transducers are now part of the GTM laboratory. The measurement uncertainty is so low that many state institutes own measuring equipment from GTM; in some countries GTM developments even set the standard. In addition to international and national calibration procedures, GTM also applies calibration procedures developed in-house, which are internationally recognized and unrivaled due to their accreditation.
A lot of pioneering spirit
Still unique worldwide is the possibility to measure and calibrate several forces and moments of multi-component transducers along different vector axes simultaneously. Since April 2022, GTM has demonstrated pioneering spirit and expanded its range of services with a new measuring facility that is now also accredited.
