THE COMMISSIONING OF THE FIRST UK NATIONAL STANDARD STATIC TORQUE CALIBRATION MACHINE
Andy Robinson
Abstract:
At IMEKO - XV World Congress, the design of the first UK national torque calibration machine was described. Following the construction of the machine, this paper describes its commissioning, leading to the establishment of the first UK national static torque calibration standard. The novel vertical transducer orientation is made possible through several innovative sub-assemblies. This paper evaluates the performances of these critical sub-assemblies, and compares them against design specifications.
