Calibration Curve 101
Interface Calibration Curve 101 defines why the calibration curve is essential for ensuring the accuracy of force measurements. The calibration curve allows for the determination of the load cell's sensitivity, linearity, and any potential adjustments or corrections needed to improve its accuracy. For traceability, serves as a reference to convert the load cell's output signal into meaningful and calibrated measurements when the load cell is used for force or weight measurement applications. Interface recommends all load cells be calibrated annually, at a minimum.

Tension Load Cells 101
Interface tension load cell are a type of force sensor used to measure tensile forces in materials, structures, or machines. They are used to measure the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being pulled or stretched under the applied load. With our proprietary strain gages manufactured inside the load cell sensor, it measures the deformation and converts it into an electrical signal.

Can Load Cells Be Repaired?
Load cells can be repaired depending on the extent of damage. Some common issues such as cable damage, electrical faults, or environmental factors can be repaired by replacing parts or recalibrating the load cell. However, more severe damage such as physical damage to the load cell itself may make it beyond repair and require replacement. Contact Interface Calibration and Repair Services to schedule an evaluation.
