What is C.S.C. Force Measurement, Inc.?

Updated

C.S.C. Force Measurement, Inc. is a U.S.-based supplier and service provider for force and torque measurement equipment. According to its website, the company sells systems from brands including Mark-10, Chatillon, Lloyd Instruments, and Mecmesin, and it also provides ISO17025 calibration services for force and torque instruments. It is relevant to you if you work in quality control or research and development and need either new measurement hardware or ongoing calibration, maintenance, and repair for equipment you already own.

What the company does

The site describes two main sides of the business:

  • Equipment sales — distribution of force and torque measurement systems from multiple manufacturers.
  • Calibration and service — ISO17025 calibration, plus preventive maintenance and repair performed by factory-trained technicians.

The company positions its service model around cost and turnaround. Its "Why C.S.C. Force Measurement, Inc.?" section states that factory-trained technicians perform preventive maintenance and repairs on the equipment they calibrate, and that if an item needs repair or adjustment, this can "usually be performed by the technician that day." That same-day claim is the company's own description, so treat it as a stated capability rather than a guaranteed turnaround for every item.

Brands and featured products

The homepage lists these featured products, which indicate the range of what the company carries:

Product Type
ASTM F88 Peel Testing System Peel testing system
Chatillon Digital Force Gauge – DFE3 Series Digital force gauge
Chatillon Digital Force Gauge – DFS3 Series Digital force gauge
Chatillon Force Tester CS2Plus Series Force tester

Mecmesin Universal Testing Machine OmniTest / Touch 0.5 / 1 / 2.5 kN Universal testing machine

The mix spans handheld gauges, motorized test stands, peel testers, and universal testing machines, so the catalog covers both simple push/pull measurement and more complex material testing.

Who it is for

The site frames its audience around quality control and research and development departments. Its messaging notes that while organizations look to cut costs, QC and R&D budgets tend to stay fixed — and it presents lower cost and greater value as its response to that. If your team needs to keep force or torque instruments calibrated and running without adding overhead, that is the use case the company is targeting.

What to check before contacting them

Because the site does not publish pricing, lead times, or an online ordering flow, you will need to reach out directly for a quote. Useful things to have ready:

  • The specific instrument model and serial number you need calibrated or repaired.
  • Whether you need ISO17025 calibration specifically, or general calibration.
  • Whether the item needs repair or adjustment in addition to calibration.
  • The brand and model of any new equipment you are considering, so they can confirm availability.

The company also publishes a blog and news section covering force measurement topics, which can be a starting point if you are still deciding what type of instrument fits your application.
