Departures from thefitted curve are reflected in the uncertainty (see 8.5).3.2.3 creepThe change in deflection of the torque transducer under constant applied torque.3.2.3.1 DiscussionCreep is expressed as a percentage of the output change at a constant ap

In the case of torque transducers, creep is adjusted by straingage design and process modifications to reduce the strain gage response to the inherent time-dependent elastic deflection.3.2.4 creep recoveryThe non-r

30、n.4. Significance and Use4.1 Testing machines that apply and indicate torque are in general use in many industries. Practice E2624 has been written toprovide a practice for the torque verification of these machines.Anecessary element in Practice E2624 is the use of devices whosetorque characteristic

31、s are known to be traceable to national standards. the International System of Units (SI). Practice E2428describes how these devices are to be calibrated. The procedures are useful to users of torque testing machines, manufacturers andproviders of torque measuring instruments, calibration laboratori

32、es that provide calibration services and documents, documents ofmetrological traceability, and service organizations using devices to verify torque testing machines.5.

(1)where:M = mass of the weight,g = local acceleration due to gravity, m/s2,d = air density (approximately 1

36、.2 kg/m3),D = density of the weight in the same units as d, and9.80665 = the factor converting SI units of force into the customary units of force. For SI units, this factor is not used.6.1.2 The masses of the weights shall be determined by comparison with reference standards traceable to the nation

The local value of the acceleration due to gravity, calculated within 0.0001 m/s2 (10milligals), may be obtained from the National Geodetic Information Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.6NOTE 2If M, the mass of the wei

38、ght, is in pounds, the force will be in pound-force units (lbf). If M is in kilograms, the force will be in kilo gram-forcekilogram-force units (kgf). These customary force units are related to the newton (N), the SI unit of force, by the following relationships:1 kgf = 9.80665 N (exact)1 lbf = 4.44

For these cases the ratio at intermediate points may be obtained by linear interpolation between measured values.Deadweights used with

Calibration7.1 Basic PrinciplesThe relationship between the applied torque and the deflection of a torque transducer is, in general, notlinear. As the torque is applied, the shape of th

48、e elastic element changes, progressively altering its resistance to deformation. Theresult is that the slope of the torque-deflection curve changes gradually and continuously over the entire range of the instrument.This characteristic of curve is a stable property of the instrument that is changed o

49、nly by a severe overload or other similar cause.7.1.1 Superposed on this curve are local variations of instrument readings introduced by imperfections in the torque transducer.Examples of imperfections include instabilities in excitation voltage, voltage measurement, or ratio-metric voltage measurementin a torque transducer. Some of these imperfections are less stable than the characteristic curve and may change significantly fromone calibration to another.7.1.2 Curve FittingTo determine the torque-deflection curve of the torque transducer,
