Legacy Instrument Support Notice

As part of our commitment to delivering high‑quality, reliable testing solutions, we routinely review our product portfolio to ensure we focus on technologies that offer the greatest accuracy, performance, and long‑term support.

This notice provides an overview of legacy Thwing‑Albert instruments that are no longer in production. Full technical support and product updates are no longer available.

  • We will continue to offer limited calibration and certification services for units that remain in working condition.
  • Parts and electronics may no longer be available due to age, discontinued components, or changes in technology.
  • Customers choosing to continue using these instruments acknowledge that all risks related to parts procurement, repairs, and ongoing performance are assumed solely by the customer.

We encourage customers to transition to our current generation of fully supported instruments. Replacement options are listed below for each instrument group.
