Why Your Meter Needs Annual Calibration
Your Tensitron® meter plays a vital role in ensuring safety, performance, and quality control. But even the most rugged and well-designed instruments require routine care. Over time, regular use, exposure to environmental conditions, and handling can subtly degrade your meter’s accuracy.
That’s why annual factory calibration and service is essential.
Annual Calibration Keeps Your Tension Meters Accurate
Tensitron® meters are trusted in some of the most demanding environments—none more critical than the aviation industry. From precise measurement of aircraft control cables to maintaining proper tension in manufacturing processes, accuracy isn’t just a goal—it’s a requirement.
Third-Party Checks vs. Factory Calibration
It’s important to understand the difference between a certificate from a third party and a true factory calibration. A third-party certificate may indicate your meter was checked—but it does not mean it was fully calibrated or restored.
Only Tensitron® technicians have access to:
Proprietary specifications
Firmware updates
Diagnostic tools
Genuine replacement parts
These are all required to bring your unit back to factory standards.
What’s Included in Factory Calibration
Whether you’re measuring tension on aircraft cables, wires, textiles, or belts, the process matters. Our calibration service includes:
✅ Complete mechanical inspections
✅ Software checks
✅ Recalibration using NIST-traceable standards
✅ Replacement of worn components
We ensure your device isn’t just passing—it’s performing.
Accuracy, Compliance, and Safety Depend on You
Precision matters. Compliance matters. Safety matters. Don’t let subtle drift in your measurements jeopardize any of them.
