Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a load cell used for in material testing?
A: It converts applied force into an electrical signal, giving precise, repeatable force measurement on a testing machine or fixture.
Q: How do I choose the right load cell capacity?
A: Select a load cell rated close to your expected maximum test force — ideally testing in the 10-90% range of the cell’s full capacity for best accuracy.
Q: Are these load cells compatible with existing test stands?
A: Most use standard S-beam, button, or threaded mounting interfaces compatible with Lloyd, Chatillon, and Mark-10 systems — confirm interface type before ordering.
Q: Can load cells be calibrated separately from the test machine?
A: Yes — ICS offers standalone A2LA-accredited load cell calibration as well as full-system calibration.
