At Mechanical Testing Services, we understand the critical role that precision and reliability play in your material testing programs. Instron testing systems are widely recognized for delivering accurate tensile, compression, fatigue, and mechanical property data—but even the best systems require expert calibration and updated software to maintain peak performance.
Why Instron Calibration Matters
Regular Instron Calibration ensures that your testing frames, load cells, extensometers, and sensors produce accurate, consistent results that comply with industry standards such as ASTM, ISO, and DIN. Calibration verifies that force and displacement readings are within manufacturer tolerances and traceable to national and international measurement standards.
Without proper calibration, testing errors can lead to:
- Inaccurate material property data
- Failed product validation
- Non-compliance with quality systems (ISO 9001, IATF 16949)
- Costly retesting and production delays
Our certified technicians specialize in comprehensive calibration services for all Instron systems—whether you operate an Instron 5980, 5500 series, or older legacy frames. We provide detailed calibration certificates and full traceability documentation for audit readiness.
Instron Series IX Replacement Software
Many labs still rely on Instron Series IX software for test control and data acquisition. While this legacy software has served the industry well, continued support and compatibility with modern operating systems have become increasingly limited.
Mechanical Testing Services offers professional Instron Series IX replacement software solutions, including:
- Expert migration to Bluehill® Universal (Instron’s current software platform)
- Integration of custom test methods
- Conversion of historical Series IX test data
- Training and support to ensure seamless transition
Upgrading from Series IX not only enhances system stability and security on current Windows platforms but also unlocks advanced reporting, automation, and graphing capabilities.
