ISO 7500-1:2018

Metallic materials - Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines - Part 1: Tension/compression testing machines - Calibration and verification of the force-measuring system

ISO 7500-1:2018 specifies the calibration and verification of tension/compression testing machines.

The verification consists of:

- a general inspection of the testing machine, including its accessories for the force application;

- a calibration of the force-measuring system of the testing machine;

- a confirmation that the performance properties of the testing machine achieve the limits given for a specified class.

NOTE This document addresses the static calibration and verification of the force-measuring systems. The calibration values are not necessarily valid for high-speed or dynamic testing applications. Further information regarding dynamic effects is given in the Bibliography.

CAUTION Some of the tests specified in this document involve the use of processes which can lead to a hazardous situation.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
