A NEW CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR MULTICOMPONENT TRANSDUCERS

Daniel Schwind, Helmut Raabe
Abstract:
Traceability of multicomponent measurements is still at an underdeveloped stage. Calibration facilities are rare compared with the diversity and number of applications of multicomponent transducers. Public calibration guidelines are not available. As GTM works step-by-step on the improvement of multicomponent measurements, a new calibration procedure was developed and registered for accreditation at the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS). The procedure yields the complete description of the force vector independent of its direction and magnitude, and the corresponding uncertainty matrix. Thought has been given to uncertainty contributions like mechanical remanence, coordinate transformation and mixed loads.
