Weighing DivisionThis division sells, services and calibrates weighing products that measure from a tenth of a microgram to over 500 tons.

This includes preconfigured scales (such as balances, bench scales, floor scales and truck and rail road scales) as well as custom weighing and control systems utilizing load cells and/or programmable controllers and instrumentation.

Nicol Scales & Measurement has created countless custom weighing systems controlling processes and capturing data. Our factory trained Technicians have a large inventory of parts on hand, proper testing equipment (including 3 heavy duty test trucks) and are licensed by the State of Texas.

Force Measurement & Material Testing DivisionThis division sells, services and calibrates devices that measure forces or test the strengths and characteristics of materials.

We are an authorized distributor for Chatillon, Lloyd Instruments, Shimadzu and Shimpo. We also have access to and can service and calibrate equipment from most manufacturers.

Our capabilities range from simple hand held force and torque gauges to complex universal testing machines with software, extensometers, temperature chambers and testing fixtures. We can help with any type of test (tension, compression, peel, bend, creep, etc) on any type of material (rubber, plastic, metal, composites, foam, etc).

Calibration Services DivisionWith a newly expanded ISO/IEC 17025:2017 scope, we can now calibrate not only weighing and force testing equipment, but also dimensional, electronic, temperature, mechanical and time and frequency devices.

Since we are continuously adding to our calibration standards and our ISO accreditation scope, we can perform non-ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibrations on many other types of metrology equipment as we add objective evidence to our calibration program.

Rental DivisionThe rental division has one of the largest varieties available in the United States and can also accommodate peripherals like printers. We even have truck and vehicle weighing scales available for rent.

On-site calibration of our rental scales can be arranged, and our equipment can be delivered anywhere in the continental United States.

Nicol Scales & Measurement has provided thousands of customers with “solutions to measure by” since 1931.
