CERTIFICATION OF A HIGH CAPACITY FORCE MACHINE FOR TESTING OF LOAD CELLS ACCORDING TO OIML R60

B. Meißner

Abstract

Force Standards Machines are calibrated according to EN 10002 part 3 (ISO376) or PTB Standards, DKD or VGM. Here, the absolute value of the force is of essential interest. For load cells, however, which shall be applied in weighing machines, the interest for the absolute force value is of second order, because weighing machines have to be adjusted and calibrated in the field. This procedure allows weighing machines to be adjusted with higher accuracy than force transducers can be calibrated. Basic ideas and results for the certification of a high capacity and high accuracy force machine used for testing of load cells are presented.
