Comparison of the force scale up to 1 MN between the Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB), West Germany and the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT)
Abstract
Force standards and the force measurement methods were compared. The force measurement devices and methods are described and the results and problems of the force transducers are discussed. The effects of loading and unloading creep, changes in zero point and in sensitivity on the short and long term behavior of the force transducers are presented.
