| Summary: | This is an experimental work on seventy load cells which aims to highlight the difference between
results out of force, proving instruments calibration according to ISO 376:2011 and its practical use.
It spots on the difference between the relative error of repeatability and reproducibility and their
contributions on load cells classifications, uncertainty estimation and calibration time. Results show
that there is no significant effect for relative error of repeatability on load cell classification, ignoring
the relative repeatability error in estimating the relative expanded uncertainty lead to decrease with
values between 1 ppm and 270 ppm in the range from 20% to 50% of load cell capacity and by values
between 1 ppm and 183 ppm in the range from 50% to 100% of the load cell capacity. It is concluded
that performing measurements to calculate the relative error of repeatability is not effective in the
normal calibration process for the examined seventy load cells, further measurements over subsequent
years are recommended to ensure results reproducibility aiming to generalize the conclusion and
recommend measurements for the relative repeatability error for load cell conformity assessment after
manufacturing. |
