Force calibration is a necessary process used for testing materials used for manufacturing equipment, machines, and other devices. All forms of metals and other materials can expand and contract during their use. Understanding their characteristics and durability is essential for the safety of consumers and industrial processes. The properties of materials are of major importance in product design since they determine the useful life of a product. Understanding the qualities of a material can assist in determining whether a product will be able to withstand forces it will face.
Compression calibration refers to something being compressed or squeezed. In general, it is a measurement of pushing or squeezing force. For this type of force calibration to be accurate, everything has to be aligned properly with the force being applied as straight and true as possible, or free from unconventional or angular forces.
Tension calibration is the opposite of compression and can be envisioned as pulling, stretching, or elongating an object.
