Dear All,
We currently outsource all of out tensile testing jobs. However, due to various reasons, we have been mulling the idea of bringing the work in-house. We need to perform tests per both ASTM (E8) and EN (EN10002-1 and EN10002-5) specifications on a regular basis.
I foresee problems with calibration as both these sets of American and European specifications seem to demand two differing sets of calibration requirements.
Can you all please advise me if this might be a problem in the long run? How difficult would it be to switch from one calibration standard to the other?
Any help/direction from the forum would be much appreciated.
Thanks...
