THE DETERMINATION OF GRAVITY ZONE FOR WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS IN SLOVENIA

M. Grum, M. Terlep, M. Oblak, L. Miklavcic

Abstract

Several derivations from the WELMEC gravity concept concerning non-automatic weighing instruments that are sensitive to the gravity were developed and analyzed. Apart from that, the gravity field model was developed for a territory of the Republic of Slovenia based on the geographical data and empirical gravity formula. It was established that some simplifications comparing to the WELMEC gravity zone concept could be introduced regarding free movement of weighing instruments across Slovenia. Limitations were set up concerning instruments’ characteristics that have to be regarded when the simplifications are used.
