WHY CALIBRATE?
When weighed against the potential risks, the cost of our accredited calibration
services is minimal, while the value it provides is significant. In critical applications,
poor tool performance can cause compromised safety and quality. SWA is dedicated
to delivering precision calibrations cost-effectively that allow the user to have
confidence in the quality, consistency and reliability of the crimp joints produced.
Calibration involves testing the pressure of your tool using a manometer, and this
pressure measurement test ensures that the tool operates at the appropriate level
of pressure for accurate crimping or cutting.
SWA is proud to maintain a highly respected testing laboratory and advanced
measuring equipment, specifically designed to carry out accurate crimp tool
calibrations in strict accordance with top industry standards.

TYPES OF TESTING
We offer two types of tests dependent on tool type, specification, and standard required:
TENSILE (PULL FORCE)
This “Pull Force” method ensures
that the crimped connections
comply with the current British and
European Standard (BS EN 61238).
We create three samples of different
cable and crimp sizes. A suitable
terminal crimped on a stranded wire
is loaded onto the tensile strength
(pull force) testing device. The pullout
tension is subsequently increased
at a rate of 25mm/min until the
terminal is pulled off the wire, or
the terminal fails.
Both types of test result values are
recorded in our database, a test
report and certificate accompany
every tested crimping tool.
PRESSURE GAUGE
The pressure test will ensure the tool
produces the recommended level of
force to enable the correct crimping
or cutting operation. Specialist dies
made to suit SWA’s range of battery &
hand-held hydraulic tools are used to
perform this test.
A pressure reading is recorded and
compared to the manufacturer’s
specifications. The test is performed
4 further times and the average
reading is recorded. If required, the
pressure is then adjusted. Certificates
note the gauge used for the test.
Gauges also undergo regular testing
to national standards and records
kept for traceability.
