What is ISO 7500-1-Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines about?
ISO 7500-1 is the first part of the ISO 7500 multi-series that discusses metallic materials. ISO 7500-1 details how to calibrate and verify the force measuring system of tension/compression testing machines for metallic materials.
Who is ISO 7500-1-Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines for?
ISO 7500-1 on calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines is relevant to:
- Engineering firms
- Testing houses and services
- Calibration service providers
- Asset management service providers
Why should you use ISO 7500-1-Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines?
ISO 7500-1 helps you in 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
Overall, the guidelines of ISO 7500-1 help you to calibrate the tension/compression machines as per your requirements and also helps you to verify their force measuring sytems.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 7500-1:2018 replaces ISO 7500-1:2015, of which it constitutes a minor revision. The changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
- The definitions of ΔF, Δm, Δg, E, E′, U, and U′ in Table 1 have been editorially revised
