XVII IMEKO World Congress 2003 in Dubrovnik

Date and time: June 24, 2003, 16:30 h -18:00 h.
Topic: Traceability in Torque Measurements
Moderators: Dr. Amritlal Sawla and Dr. Diedert Peschel.
The presentation for the topics 1 and 2 can be downloaded.

The aim of the Round Table discussion meeting is to cover the specific aspects of the traceability in torque measurements on the basis of three oral presentations on the following topics. The content of each topic will be introduced by an expert in a five minutes speech. About 25 minutes are then planed for the discussions on each presentation.

TOP 1: About the influences on the calibration results obtained on calibration systems with supported or unsupported beams
Diedert Peschel, Dr.-Ing., Head of Torque laboratory at PTB

Important specific aspects in such applications are among others: 1. In case of using supported beams and adaptation of the test piece with couplings with low stiffness for bending the calibration will realised under pure torque conditions. 2. Unsupported beams generate additionally bending moment and side force so that the calibration conditions are very different from pure torque conditions.

TOP 2: Discussion on calibration results for alternating torque in comparison with single cw and acw torque calibrations (comparison with force calibration)
Dirk Röske, Dr.-Ing., Researcher at PTB's Torque laboratory

Important specific aspects in such applications are among others: 1. Very often the effect of mechanical remanence causes the predominant influence on the calibration result for alternating torque especially for low torque values. This effect can be calculated from single cw and acw calibration curves knowing the corresponding zero signals. 2. An additional uncertainty contribution must be taken into account when a transducer is applied in alternating torque measurements without knowledge about it's load history.

TOP 3: Aspects of traceability of torque transducers in power test stands (influence of speed of rotation, on-site calibration)
Georg Wegener, Dr.-Ing., Product Manager HBM/Germany

Important specific aspects in such applications are among others: 1. The special ambient conditions: the speed of rotation of the torque transducer, mechanical pre-stress from mounting the torque transducer, temperature conditions, EMC conditions. 2. Special concepts when on-site calibration is considered.
