Upon completion of nearly two years of testing and validation, the United States Air Force has granted weighing and measurement solutions provider Intercomp<\/a> first article approval to begin shipping automated force calibration systems to its Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratories (PMEL).<\/p>\n

In total, 11 systems will be delivered to PMELs around the world for verification and adjustment of portable truck scales, aircraft scales, and general purpose platform scales. Bases include Edwards, Ramstein, and Al-Udeid, all of which will benefit from the automated calibration presses by enhancing the capability to improve accuracy, stability, safety, and throughput of day to day calibration.<\/p>\n

Eric Peterson, vice president of sales and marketing at Intercomp, said: “Many of the scales that PMEL calibrates on these presses are used for critical weight and balance checks of aircraft or the load planning of cargo shipped by air, sea or rail for rapid deployment purposes.These next generation calibration systems provide PMELs the ability to quickly validate accuracy of scales to ensure our military readiness in the aircraft and cargo they must weigh.”<\/p>\n

Intercomp’s automated force press provides complete hands-free operation during scale calibration. The press utilizes a communication capability that will automatically calibrate and adjust Intercomp scales at the press of a single button. The engineered stability maintains 0.02 pounds of force for the 5,000 pound range to 0.2 pounds of force for the 60,000 pound range. Integrating precision Tovey load cells into the system, Intercomp provides an accuracy of \u00b10.025% or better to maintain a 4:1 ratio when calibrating scales to 0.1% of applied load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
