A New Type of Wide Measurement Range Build-Up Force Standard Machine
Abstract
The build-up force standard machine is widely used in large scale force measurement. The force measurement range of the standard machine depends on a reference force transducer, and it is usually from 10% to 100% rated force in a measurement process. In order to perform continuous calibrations, it should be avoided two measurement processes by changing reference force transducer. This paper describes a new type of wide range standard machine, which is based on exchanging two reference force transducers in operation process. It can measure up to 10 MN, and its range is extended from 3% to 100% rated force in one measurement process. In addition, the repeatability and the relative reproducibility error with rotation of the new machine are calculated.
