TRANSFER REFERENCE FORCE TRANSDUCER CALIBRATION

The main parameters necessary for the definition of a calibration are as follows:

• Identification of the force transducer and the instruments connected to it, including the connecting cables;
• The direction of the transducer's use : tension and/or compression;
• The nature and characteristics of the mechanical interfaces used for the application of forces;
• The calibration range defined by minimum and maximum forces applied;
• Application of increasing loads only, or increasing and decreasing loads;
• Loading conditions for the transducer:
  • Possible pre-loading
  • Waiting time in order to stabilize the force
  • Relaxation time between two load series
  • Etc.
• Calibration uncertainty or the accuracy level sought.
