Sector Focus - Concrete
Today concrete components are manufactured in a wide range of shapes and dimensions. It is becoming more common to test whole components rather than just small samples as this can give a truer picture of how the component will act in situ. The ability to do this is is possible in part to the range of testing equipment and jigs which are available.
Manufacturers supported by Sercal Calibrations
Sercal have been serving the materials testing sector for over 25 years and pride ourselves on the breadth of experience and range of equipment we cover. So the answer to your question, "Can you calibrate or service my machine?" is almost certainly yes.
Here's a list of manufacturers equipment we calibrate and service on a regular basis
Sector Focus - Fasteners
Fasteners are everywhere and our modern world depends on them. Nuts, bolts, screws and rivets are used to join components, metal sheets and sections, which must not separate under load. In this article we take a quick look at this important industry sector and how Sercal can help your quest for quality.
Scope of Calibration Accreditation
Sercal has many years of experience in the field of calibration and their laboratory has been accredited by UKAS since 1991. Sercal provide a comprehensive calibration service for all types of testing machines, from all manufacturers, UKAS calibration certificates issued by Sercal are proof of measurement traceability to national and international standards as required by ISO/IEC17025:2015.
Sercal deliver worry-free machine relocation
Your materials testing machines and instruments are an important component of your company's success and they are used to produce reliable test results. That is why it is so important that your testing system and components can be used reliably again once they have been relocated.
Sercal inspection and calibration of Charpy machines
Worldwide, steel producers yearly make millions of impact tests to see whether their steels meet the specific strength requirements for applications such as ship building or pipeline construction.

Verifying Test Axis Alignment as per Nadcap
NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is the first attempt to implement a unified approach to measurement and inspection in the supply chain. As more aerospace primes mandate Nadcap certification, Sercal Calibrations and Service are here to help you achieve compliance.
Sercal Calibration of Extensometers
There is a large range of extensometers available on the market today, from clip-on and sensor arm contact units through to Video, Inductive and laser non-contact units. One thing they all have in common though, is the need to be calibrated to recognised standards at regular intervals. Sercal can provide calibration of all types of extensometers to BS EN ISO 9513:2012 and ASTM:E83-10.
