Load cells with higher capacities and accuracies that are traceable to NIST standards are becoming more commonly used in geotechnical applications.
To this end, GEOKON has installed a custom-built load cell press, which is capable of performing calibrations up to 1,200 tons. Traceability is achieved using 3 custom-built load cells and a vibrating wire pressure transducer as reference standards.
If you have a need for the calibration of load cells, please Request a Quotation.
