- Abstract:
- Developed, put into practice and used the universal automatic system MABA-2000 for calibration of force measurement devices in accordance to ISO 376-1999, ISO 7500-1999 and manufacturer requirements. The system includes a set of load cells from 1 kN to 5 MN, amplifier DMP-40 (HBM), computer and accessories. Mathematically proved the possibility of calibration in points, which vary from series to series, proved, and confirmed the application of calculation of formulas accuracy deviation and repeatability in accordance to ISO 7500-1999. This approach increases the productivity and simplifies the calibration process. Software MABA-2000 permits to communicate the measurement line “load cell-amplifier-computer” and to perform calibration process on mode ON-LINE: input of the measurement data, indications of the deviations in real time, calculations of the uncertainties, calculations of the calibration results and output of certificate. For calibration by method of Dead Weight a computer automatically selects a set of standard weights as a function of the True Force and value of gravity acceleration. The strict and precise method of the measurement results’ rounding optimizes the value of uncertainty. Calculation of interpolation polynoms of 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree is done automatically too, and does not require additional resources or time. The software MABA-2000 includes also the subroutine for the measurement load rate and calculates uncertainty in accordance to customer requirements.
