- Abstract:
- The Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV, Austria), developed in cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology an automatical Dead Load Machine to determine low force in the range from of 1 µmN up to 10 N.
This Dead Load Machine allows 10 µN steps to determine low force by weights directly and has a resolution of 1 µN realised by a balance. Due to its special construction, the measuring range is continuous from 10 N tension to 10 N compression whereby it is possible to cover the complete range in 10 µN steps by loading weights. To realise forcesteps of 1 µN a ballance with a readability of 1 µg is coupled with a specially designed hydrostatic force transducer the suspension system of the weights. - Keywords:
