THE METROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FORCE TRANSDUCER UNDER LOADS LESS THAN 10% OF ITS CAPACITY

M. I. Mohamed, E. H. Hasan

Abstract

In many circumstances some one may be compelled to use a force transducer under loads less than 10% of its capacity. It is so important to know the metrological characteristics of the force transducers at this small range in order to be aware how much these characteristics are poor under this force range. Two different types of class 00 force transducers are used. For each type different transducer capacities are considered. The force transducers are calibrated according to ISO 376 in compression within two ranges. These ranges are 10% and 100% of the transducer capacity. The transducer linearity, repeatability, reproducibility and reversibility are compared for the two applied ranges. For the same force transducer each rang is considered as a separate force transducer, so each parameter is evaluated as a ratio from the full range capacity.
