Instru-Met repairs tensile and compression testers on-site as well as in our laboratory. If you have a Universal Testing System that needs to be repaired or upgraded, we have been around since 1974. Instru-Met works with manufacturers, testing labs, universities, companies and entrepreneurs in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Hungary and Europe.
Do you have a testing machine in your lab that looks outdated or functions slow. Well, Instru-Met can revive the older Instron™ Material Test Systems to become a productive machine in your lab. Our retrofit process consists of completely rewiring your test frame to accept a new controller and high resolution encoder for precise crosshead positioning and speed control.
Calibration is all about managing risk and finding errors in measuring systems. Instru-Met’s Quality Assurance complies with ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL 540-1. Caliper calibration is just one of many services provided by our metrology lab. Upon completion of the calibration process you will receive a calibration certificate that indicates the results.
