Everything Under One Roof

We are experts in many calibration methods, covering numerous standards. Our comprehensive materials testing machines and instruments calibration portfolio enables us to calibrate a wide variety of measurands. This includes accredited measurands such as force, length, mechanical work and hardness, plus many additional measurands so that we have the right solutions readily available for your machines and requirements.

Static or dynamic materials testing machines, pendulum impact tests, hardness testers or other testing machines—we can provide professional, traceable calibration for all. In addition to our own ZwickRoell materials testing machines and instruments, we can also calibrate testing machines made by other manufacturers.

Our Services

ZwickRoell is accredited by DAkkS to perform calibrations and issue calibration certificates as the highest form of documentation. Working with standardized processes we calibrate more than 10,000 materials testing machines and instruments a year, providing us with sound expertise and experience. This makes ZwickRoell the largest calibration laboratory for materials testing machines and instruments in Germany.

ZwickRoell benefits

What sets us apart

Kalibrierung Prüfmaschinen

Reliable test results—we calibrate more accurately than the standard requires

The range for calibration depends on the type of load cell on the materials testing machine, the machine electronics, and the display resolution. For ZwickRoell materials testing machines with high precision(HP) series load cells, the range is starts at 0.2% of nominal force; for other types the range starts at 0.4%. In this way we cover the full measurement range and ensure maximum result accuracy. The standards require a calibration range of 20 – 100% of the nominal load and five calibration stages. A ZwickRoell calibration certificate consists of 11 calibration stages.

Our flexibility is your success.

With over 100 highly skilled service technicians and calibration technicians, who benefit from a continuous training program, we have access to a large pool of knowledge and expertise. ZwickRoell service technicians are located in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark, as well as in Benelux countries, enabling us to guarantee fast, flexible, and prompt on-site calibration service. Our flexibility and proximity to our customers are unique and are especially important to us.
Inspektion und Kalibrierung

Preventative inspections save you money in the long term

As part of our calibration service, we offer inspections carried out using checklists to reduce the risk of malfunctions or machine downtime and guarantee productivity. This means you save money on repair costs and spare parts in the long term. During these inspections, which only we as manufacturers can perform, our service technicians inspect your testing machines and are able to carry out minor repairs and adjustments on the spot. This inspection is especially important, since the normative directives DIN EN ISO 7500-1 specify the need for inspection prior to calibration.

Calibration Services Zwick USA - knowledge and expertise of service technician

ZwickRoell Service is reliable and competent

Each individual service technician is has outstanding skills and is regularly trained, as proven during each and every on-site visit. Service technicians carry personally assigned calibration equipment with customized adapters and the necessary reference sensors. To maintain DAkkS accreditations, reference sensors are recalibrated at prescribed intervals.

Worldwide Accreditation

Whether here at home or abroad, ZwickRoell calibration laboratories are operated to the highest standards. In addition to our calibration laboratory in Ulm, we also operate calibration laboratories in Europe, Asia, and in North and South America. We are DAkkS accredited and we are also accredited by COFRAC, UKAS, A2LA, INMETRO, TÜRKAK and NABL. Mutual recognition of national accreditation bodies under the ILAC agreement, we ensure worldwide validity of your calibration certificate and test results.

Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

As part of inspection and calibration of your materials testing machines and instruments, we also perform an additional measurement system analysis (MSA). This serves as proof of suitability of the testing process in compliance with industry-specific standards that are highly relevant in the automotive (ISO/TS 16949), medical, and pharmaceutical industries. For destructive materials testing, Method 1 according to the Q-DAS guideline is used. This method checks for the accuracy and repeatability of a testing system's test results. A measured value is approached 50 times with a working standard (master) thus achieving an average value and standard deviation, so that together with a set value and a tolerance limit, a capability index of Cg and Cgk can be calculated. At a minimum this must reach a value of 1.33 to confirm the measuring instrument capability.
