The Key to Accurate Force and Weight Measurement

Load cell testing is the process of verifying that a load cell is performing within its specified accuracy and calibration range. Whether you’re using a tensile load cell, compression load cell, or custom load pin, routine testing ensures your sensors deliver reliable, repeatable measurements across industrial, commercial, and research applications.

At Sensors and Gauges, we provide professional load cell testing and calibration services across Australia — giving you confidence that your weighing systems comply with ISO standards and industry regulations.

Why is Load Cell Testing Important?

Load cells are exposed to mechanical stress, temperature changes, and environmental factors that can affect their performance over time.

Benefits of Regular Load Cell Testing:

• Accuracy Verification – Confirms sensor output matches known loads.

• Regulatory Compliance – Meets ISO and industry standards.

• Safety Assurance – Prevents overload and critical equipment failure.

• Extended Service Life – Early detection of drift or sensor fatigue.

• Reliable Data – Ensures confidence in industrial and research results.

Methods of Load Cell Testing

Depending on the application, different testing techniques may be used:

1. Calibration with Known Weights – Verifying accuracy against standard weights.

2. Shunt Calibration – Simulating strain using electrical resistors.

3. Load Testing Rigs – Applying controlled tension or compression forces.

4. Zero & Span Checks – Ensuring no drift at zero load and correct output at full load.

5. Dynamic Testing – For load cells used in vibration, impact, or cyclic loading applications.

Applications That Require Regular Load Cell Testing

Load cell testing is crucial in industries where precision and compliance are non-negotiable:

• Aerospace & Defense – Force measurement in testing labs.

• Construction & Civil Engineering – Structural monitoring and safety testing.

• Food & Beverage – Compliance with weight and packaging standards.

• Mining & Heavy Industry – Load monitoring under harsh conditions.

• Laboratory Research – Tensile, fatigue, and material strength testing.
