Calibration Bangladesh Weighing Balance Part 4. The procedure may further include rules how to derive from the results advice to the user of the instrument with regard to the errors, and assigned uncertainty of measurement, of indications which may occur under normal conditions of use of the instrument, and/or rules on how to convert an indication obtained for a weighed object into the value of mass or conventional value of mass of that object.
Calibration Bangladesh Weighing Balance Part 4 The information presented in this guideline is intended to serve, and should be observed by,
- bodies accrediting laboratories for the calibration of weighing instruments,
- laboratories accredited for the calibration of non-automatic weighing instruments,
- testhouses, laboratories, or manufacturers using calibrated non-automatic weighing instruments for measurements relevant for the quality of production subject to QM requirements (e.g. ISO 9000 series, ISO 10012, ISO/IEC 17025).
A summary of the main terms and equations used in this document is given in Appendix D2.
1 Calibration Bangladesh Weighing Balance Part 4 TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS
The terminology used in this document is mainly based on existing documents:
- GUM [1] for terms related to the determination of results and the uncertainty of measurement,
- OIML R111 [4] for terms related to the standard weights,
- OIML R76 [2] (or EN 45501 [3]) for terms related to the functioning, to the construction, and to the metrological characterisation of non-automatic weighing
- VIM [8] for terms related to the
Such terms are not explained in this document, but where they first appear, references will be indicated.
Symbols whose meaning is not self-evident, will be explained where they are first used. Those that are used in more than one section are collected in Appendix D1.
2 Calibration Bangladesh Weighing Balance Part 4 GENERAL ASPECTS OF THE CALIBRATION
Elements of the calibration
Calibration consists of
- applying test loads to the instrument under specified conditions,
- determining the error or variation of the indication, and
- estimating the uncertainty of measurement to be attributed to the
Range of calibration
Unless requested otherwise by the client, a calibration extends over the full weighing range [3] from Zero to the maximum capacity Max . The client may specify a certain part of a weighing range, limited by a minimum load Min¢ and the largest load to be
weighed Max¢, or individual nominal loads, for which he requests calibration.
