The national Laboratory of Force and Torque offers calibration of force transducers, load cells, measuring brackets, dynamometers and crash sensors.

The national laboratories are responsible for maintaining the national reference standards for each measurement quantity and spreading metrological competence and traceability to industry and society at large. The national reference standards are the highest level of traceability in Sweden.

A calibration performed at a national laboratory fulfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large. 

Normals 

Forces up to 100 kN are generated with "dead weight", which means allowing well-determined masses to be affected by the local gravitational field.

Forces from 100 kN to 1 MN are produced by mechanical exchange of deadweight force and forces up to 6 MN (pressure forces only) are generated by a hydraulic loading machine.

Standard calibration

For calibration of force transducers and dynamometers not having the same high accuracy requirements, we can use a type of load rig (material testing machine) with the associated reference sensor instead of our dead weight machine. However, the reference sensors are always traceable to our dead weight machine.

Measurement Uncertainty

Measurement area                                   Best measurement uncertainty (%)

1 N – 1 MN                                                     0,01

1 MN – 6 MN (pressure)                        0,05

We can also perform calibrations on site at our customers.

The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory. 

The National Laboratory for Photometry and Radiometry offers calibration of colour meters.

A calibration performed at a national laboratory fullfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large.

RISE are able to calibrate most types of colour meters. The calibration is performed using ceramic colour standards in various colours and shades of grey. The calibration is available for multiple measurement geometries e.g. 45°/0°, 8°/t och 8°/d. Other geometries can also be accommodated. We offer both 2° and 10° standard observers as well as standard illuminants A, C and D65. 

The calibrations takes place at the laboratory for photometry and radiometry in Borås.

The National Laboratory for Photometry and Radiometry offers calibration of spectroradiometers.

A calibration performed at a national laboratory fullfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large.

The national laboratory can calibrate spectroradiometers in the range 200 nm to 2500 nm. 

The calibration involves using the software for the spectroradiometer to generate a calibration file. A spectral irradiance standard is used as a reference in the calibration. The range 200 nm to 250 nm is currently outside the scope of our traceability but this range can be added to the calibration by extrapolating from known values for a deuterium source. 

The calibrations takes place at the laboratory for photometry and radiometry in Borås.

The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory.

When becoming a client you will also get access to our customer website for calibration, where you may also place orders. 

Customer website for calibration

Since the software for the spectroradiometer is required for a calibration it may happen that the customer needs to provide access to the software in cases where RISE does not have access to the software internally. 

The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology offers calibration of form standards intended for use with form measuring devices.

The national laboratories are responsible for maintaining the national reference standards for each measurement quantity and spreading metrological competence and traceability to industry and society at large. The national reference standards are the highest level of traceability in Sweden.

A calibration performed at a national laboratory fulfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large. 

Form measurements includes parameters such as roundness, cylindricity, straightness and flatness. The definitions of these parameters will be found in ISO 1101. Roundness standards, reference cylinders, straightness standards and flatness standards are calibrated in accordance with these definitions. We offer also calibration of measuring instruments for form and amplification standards for roundness testers. The measuring methods that are used in the calibrations are based on tactile measurements.

The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory.

The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology offers calibration of line scales.

The national laboratories are responsible for maintaining the national reference standards for each measurement quantity and spreading metrological competence and traceability to industry and society at large. The national reference standards are the highest level of traceability in Sweden.

A calibration performed at a national laboratory fulfils all typical traceability and accreditation requirements that commonly exist in industry and society at large. 

We offer calibration of line scales, from very accurate microscope scales (stage micrometers, glass scales) of a few mm in length, to workshop scales (steel rulers) up to 3000 mm.

Line scales are calibrated in a measuring machine using a microscope for reading of the scale lines and a laser interferometer to measure the distances between the lines. The finest, most accurate scales, manufactured of metal or glass are calibrated using a machine vision system, to detect the scale lines.

For less accurate scales with coarser lines, we use a measuring machine with a manual reading microscope to detect the lines. This method is applied on line scales up to 3000 mm. The zero point on these scales can be defined as the first scale line or at the edge of the scale.

The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory.

Heavier equipment, such as measuring machines, generally must be calibrated where they stand. The National Laboratory for Length and Dimensional Metrology performs field calibrations of measuring equipment, where high accuracies are needed. We use physical standards as well as laser interferometers, depending on the properties of the measuring equipment that needs calibration. The temperature is carefully surveyed during the calibration process and when needed we make temperature corrections of the results.

Surface texture (roughness) is the microscopic structure, consisting of scratches, pores etc. that exists on a surface. It has great importance for industrially important properties such as friction, lubrication, corrosion, noise reduction and paint work.

Our services encompass both traceable calibrations of standards for surface roughness and evaluation of surface texture on manufactured components.

The extent of our services includes:

• Calibration of roughness standards with regular or irregular profile
• Calibration of step and depth standards
• Calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface roughness
• Characterization of surface texture on components

We are partners in the development of written standards for surface metrology and a member of the Swedish National Committee for Standardization (SiS) within the area.

The calibration results are reported in a digital calibration certificate in Swedish or English which states that the calibration was performed at a national laboratory.
