Calibration Verification
The achievable ISO or ASTM classification is given on page A-3. Certification of the strain
measurement system which includes the extensometer, conditioning electronics and readout
to the international standards should be arranged through accredited calibration services.
Your local Instron area office will be able to arrange verification.
It is advisable to check the accuracy of the automatic/manual electrical calibration at least
once a year.
