Load Cell Calibration ensures accurate measurement of forces in various applications. “Traceable to NIST” means the calibration process is verifiable through the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Regular calibration, maintaining a pure line of force, and using appropriate loading frames are crucial. Calibration standards must be traceable to SI units for mass and force measurements, enhancing reliability. Deadweight primary standards, meeting ASTM criteria, are vital for traceability, correcting for gravity and environmental factors in mass and force applications and load cell calibration procedure.

WHAT IS NIST TRACEABLE CALIBRATION?
NIST Traceable calibration ensures that measurement results indicated on the certificate can be traced back to NIST mass standards. For an item to be NIST traceable, it must adhere to specific guidelines defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
According to NIST, traceability is the property of a measurement result that establishes a documented, unbroken chain of calibrations, contributing to measurement uncertainty. In simpler terms, calibration weights used are traceable back to NIST mass standards, and each step in the calibration chain adds to the uncertainty of these weights.
HOW ARE MEASUREMENT RESULTS MADE NIST TRACEABLE? Several key requirements must be met for something to be recognized as NIST traceable:
- Clearly defining what is being measured.
- Defining the working standards used for measurements.
- Explicitly stating the measurement results.
- Documenting the specifications of reference standards, including their last calibration dates, that the working standards were compared to.
- Following an internal program to uphold the integrity and traceability of working standards.

If all these criteria are satisfied, the reported measurement results are considered NIST traceable.
Hydraulic Jacks and Loadcell Calibrations
Calibration of hydraulic jacks and load cells ensures accurate force measurements. This involves comparing the device’s readings with a known standard, often traceable to NIST standards. Regular calibration is crucial to maintain precision, verify performance, and ensure safety in applications requiring exact force measurements.
