Load Cell Calibrations & Repair

DLM offer an unrivalled worldwide Load Cell Calibration and repair service based in Southampton. We combine highly competitive prices with quality workmanship.

At Dynamic Load Monitoring (DLM), we provide professional repair and servicing for both our equipment and a wide range of proprietary load cells and instrumentation. Our technical expertise, industry experience and in-house calibration capabilities continue to make us a leading choice for load cell calibration across global industries.

In-House Testing Capabilities

Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art, computer-controlled hydraulic machines for both tension and compression testing.

Calibration capacity:

  • Tension: up to 100 tonnes
  • Compression: up to 300 tonnes
  • Higher capacities can also be catered for using off-site test rigs.

We also have a wide range of tooling suitable for calibrating Load Pins of varying sizes, allowing us to lead the way with Load Pin calibration and re-certification.

All calibrations are:

  • Traceable to the National Physical Laboratory or UKAS-accredited laboratories
  • Verified in accordance with the national standard ISO 7500-1:2018

Our team can also calibrate cable working equipment, including Running Line Monitors and Saddleback Monitors. With a test machine at DLM HQ, these calibrations are carried out in-house by our highly qualified engineers.

Ian, Global Marine

We approached DLM to enquire about the Stingray, as we were looking for a way to track our grapnel train throughout Pre Lay Grapnel Runs, operating in a narrow corridor. DLM were quick to react and fast-tracked the manufacture of the Stingray, delivering it on time for our project.
