IMGC-CNR ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE THE FORCE CHAIN IN ITALY

C. Ferrero, C. Marinari

Abstract

The IMGC-CNR recently acquired two new dead-weight Primary Force Standards, of 30 kN and 1 MN capacity, in addition to those already existing at the IMGC to meet the increasing demand from several industrial sectors in Italy for research and calibration work concerning force sensors and load cells to be used for weighing.<br />In the present paper the IMGC Primary Force Standards are shortly described and the increase of the dissemination of the Force Unit in Italy, on the basis of the number of the accreditation and certificates issued, is given. The main results of the metrological evaluation and long term stability of the calibration lever machines of one laboratory of the Italian Calibration Service are discussed.
