CHALLENGES FOR THE CALIBRATION OF AUTOMATIC WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS IN DYNAMIC OPERATION

Oliver Mack, Tobias Klein, Christian Schlegel, Matej Grum

Abstract

In contrast to non-automatic weighing instruments, the calibration of automatic weighing instruments in dynamic mode is less well defined. To fill this gap, the European research project “Traceable calibration of dynamic weighing instruments” has been initiated in order to develop new calibration guides for various automatic weighing instruments. As a starting point for the project, we tried to gather some existing experiences in view of test procedures, calibration routines, modelling and uncertainty analysis.
