Abstract: Adaptable clevis kits may be used when calibrating crane scales, dynamometers and tension links for force calibration laboratories. An adaptable clevis kit may include one set of devises (one pair) with multiple sets of pins with different diameters. With this kit, the same set of devises may be used for calibrating several models of instruments. For each instrument, the pin may be designed with the same diameter that the manufacturer originally made the equipment and reported on its specification sheets. With this method, the error due to difference in pin sizes is eliminated, and the laboratory may save the cost of purchasing dozens of different devises. The adaptable clevis kits may also be provided with a guiding table that help the user find the right size pin for the instrument being calibrated based on the manufacturer's original design.
