TRACEABILITY IN FORCE MEASUREMENT IN REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
Abstract
In this study, based on results of the previously performed calibrations and factory specifications, an analysis of force measurement equipment in Republic of Croatia has been done. Transfer force standards of the Laboratory for Testing Mechanical Properties ( LIMS) have been calibrated in HBM, Germany. Calibration curves for specific transfer standards were obtained, to be used for estimation of standard uncertainties. Also, expanded measurement uncertainty was calculated at each measuring point, according to the document EA-4/15. This was used for determining the best measuring capability of the Laboratory, as well as for developing of the equipment calibration scheme for force measurement in Croatia. The previous and last calibration results for the same transfer standards were compared and, further to it, certain conclusions were made on how characteristics of the standards are influenced by use during certain period of time.
