Creep results from a time dependent, elasticdeformation of the instr

In the caseof torque transducers, creep is adjusted by strain gage designand process modifications to reduce the strain gage response tothe inherent time-dependent elastic deflection.3.2.4 creep recoveryThe non-return to zero following acreep test.3.2.4.1 DiscussionCreep Re

Significance and Use4.1 Testing machines that apply and indicate torque are ingeneral use in ma

26、ny industries. Practice E2624 has beenwritten to provide a practice for the torque verification of thesemachines. A necessary element in Practice E2624 is the use ofdevices whose torque characteristics are known to be metro-logically traceable to the International System of Units (SI).Practice E2428

27、 describes how these devices are to be cali-brated. The procedures are useful to users of testing machines,manufacturers and providers of torque measuring instruments,calibration laboratories that provide calibration services anddocuments of metrological traceability, and service organiza-tions usin

38、 toapply or multiply a force.6.2.1 The multiplying ratio of a force multiplying systemused as a secondary torque standard shall be measured at notless than ten points over its range with an accuracy of 0.06 %of ratio or better. Some systems may show a systematic changein ratio with increasing force.

The expanded uncertainty with a confidencefactor of 95% (K=2) shall not exceed 0.06% of the appliedtorque.7. Calibration7.1 Basic PrinciplesThe relationship between

43、the appliedtorque and the deflection of a torque transducer is, in general,not linear. As the torque is applied, the shape of the elasticelement changes, progressively altering its resistance to defor-mation. The result is that the slope of the torque-deflectioncurve changes gradually and continuous

44、ly over the entire rangeof the instrument. This characteristic curve is a stable propertyof the instrument that is changed only by a severe overload orother similar cause.7.1.1 Superposed on this curve are local variations ofinstrument readings introduced by imperfections in the torquetransducer. Ex

45、amples of imperfections include instabilities inexcitation voltage, voltage measurement, or ratio-metric volt-age measurement in a torque transducer. Some of theseimperfections are less stable than the characteristic curve andmay change significantly from one calibration to another.7.1.2 Curve Fitti

46、ngTo determine the torque-deflectioncurve of the torque transducer, known torque values are appliedand the resulting deflections are measured throughout the rangeof the torque transducer. A polynomial equation is fitted to thecalibration data by the least squares method to predict deflec-tion values

47、 throughout the loading range. Such an equationcompensates effectively for the nonlinearity of the calibrationcurve. The standard deviation determined from the differenceof each measured deflection value from the value derived fromthe polynomial curve at that torque provides a measure of theerror of

48、 the data to the curve fit equation.Astatistical estimate,called the Lower Limit Factor, LLF, is derived from thecalculated standard deviation and represents the width of theband of these deviations about the basic curve with a probabil-ity of 95%. The LLF is, therefore, an estimate of one source of

49、uncertainty contributed by the torque transducer when torquevalues measured in service are calculated by means of thecalibration equation. Actual errors in service are likely to bedifferent if torque values are applied under mechanical andenvironmental conditions differing from those of calibration.Other sources of uncertainty could increase the uncertainty ofmeasurement of the torque transducer in service.NOTE 3While it is the responsibility of the calibration laboratory tocalibrate the torque transducer in accordance with the requirements of th
