Services - at a glance
Calibration of balances
With the shortest calibration time in the KERN calibration laboratory of maximum 3 working days after receipt of order, this gives you almost uninterrupted use of your balances within your production process. As an option, you can have your balances calibrated on your premises. This on-site testing service is metrologically recommended, as the balance is in its field of use and can be calibrated without any possible transportation problems. Minimized downtime and personal contact with our expert are the major benefits of this service. We would be pleased to give you more information and agree a date with you.
Calibration of weights
Here too, with our short process times, we are unbeatable. The most modern calibration robots calibrate your test weights with only the slightest measuring uncertainty, according to international directives of OIML R111 and thereby ensuring a reliable weighing result. Recommended recalibration period 1 year. On-site calibration of your weights according to OIML classes M1 - M3 (10 kg - 50 kg) can also offer you an affordable alternative. We would be pleased to come to your premises and calibrate your test weights with our mobile MACOS calibration system.
Volume determination
When calibrating every new weight in OIML class E1 you must also establish its volume. This is necessary for the correction of air buoyancy. Accredited volume determination in our laboratories is an integral part of our high-end demands.
Digital calibration certificate
Of course you will also receive the issued DKD and ISO calibration certificates from us in digital form. Ideal for your own archives or as an “Express solution” by e-mail, when you need it even quicker.
Reconditioning of weights
We'll get your weights back up to standard, regardless of the manufacturer. Whether it is adjustment, marking, sand blasting or lacquering. The aim here is compliance and long-term stability. Special arrangements on request.
Database supported management of checking equipment
Information on your checking equipment which has been calibrated by us is stored in our database. In this way it is possible to make trend calculations. You therefore get an overview of long-term stability and trend behaviour of your checking equipment.
Magnetic characteristics
By measuring sensitivity/and magnetisation we gain reliable evidence regarding the magnetic characteristics of your test weights. “Magnetic” weights can distort the weighing result when you are using the balance.
Reminder service
The continuous cyclic recalibration of your checking equipment is an integral part of the reliable management of checking equipment. You can depend on us to support you, and will remind you in good time when the next recalibration is due.
Collection and delivery service
Why not let us transport your checking equipment correctly. With our specially developed transport packaging (even for heavy load items) you are always in safe hands. We will collect your checking equipment from you and then deliver it quickly and safely.
Newsletter
On request you can receive our regular newsletter with news, changes and interesting facts regarding balances, test weights, force measurement and more.
