CALIBRATION FACILITY
The MSIR INDIA Force Calibration Facility is equipped with deadweight force machines and high-tonnage servo-hydraulic calibration frames capable of testing tension and compression devices up to 5,000 kN (500 Tonnes). Operating under ISO 376 and ASTM E74, we calibrate crane scales, proving rings, load cells, universal testing machines, and aircraft weight platforms.
