Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the development, at the Mechanical Metrology Laboratory – IPT, the capability to calibrate load cells until 2 MN in tension using the pyramidal method. This type of assembly in normally applied for compression. The goal is achieve an uncertainty of 0,05%.
