Nicol Scales & Measurement is very proud to say that we provide the custom weighing system used to weigh and calculate the center of gravity for the F-35 fighter jets at locations all over the world.  NSM also sells the equipment used to test the yield strength and tensile strength of next generation composites, fasteners and strong yet lightweight materials that are used to make the current and next generation aircraft, helicopters and spacecraft. We sell counting scales to manage inventory of small valuable parts that are used in the aerospace manufacturing process. NSM offers hand held mechanical, digital and hydraulic force gauges used to test and inspect multiple parts of airplanes and helicopters before and during their usable lifespan. From small bearings or components used in jet engines to the entire aircraft – we can weigh it, measure it or test it.

When you have service or calibration needs, turn to NSM for support.  Our factory trained Technicians average over 15 years of experience in repair and calibration and always put quality first.  Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 scope is one of the broadest in the industry.  If you need help with anything that flies, contact us first.
