- Abstract:
- This paper presents the methodology and results of an interlaboratory comparison currently in progress for the validation of forces generated by the 5 kN force standards machine (MCCC) designed and manufactured for the Low Force Laboratory (LBF) of the Aerospace Technical Centre (CTA), Brazil. Reference forces were generated by the 5,2 kN force standards machine of the Isaac Newton Laboratory of the Technological Centre Foundation in the State of Minas Gerais (CETEC). Results obtained in the first phase of the intercomparison have shown that the errors and the best measurement capability are larger than expected. Further investigation in the MCCC initial nominal range is to be carried out in the second phase of the comparison.
