6.2 Determination of the resolution

6.2.1 Analogue scale

The thickness of the graduation marks on the scale shall be uniform and the width of the pointer shall be
approximately equal to the width of a graduation mark.

The resolution, r, of the indicator shall be obtained from the ratio between the width of the pointer and the centre-to-
centre distance between two adjacent scale graduation marks (scale interval). The recommended ratios are 1:2, 1:5
or 1:10, a spacing of 2,5 mm or greater being required for the determination of one-tenth of a scale division.

6.2.2 Digital scale

The resolution is taken to be one increment of the count of the numerical indicator, provided that when the
instrument is unloaded and the motors and controls system are operating, the indication does not fluctuate by more
than one increment.

6.2.3 Variation of readings

If the readings vary by more than the value previously calculated for the resolution (with the calibration of the force-
indicating instrument unloaded and with the motor and/or drive mechanism and control on for determining the sum
of all electrical noise), this resolution, r, shall be deemed to be equal to half the range of fluctuation plus one
increment.

NOTE 1 This only determines the resolution due to system noise and does not account for control errors, i.e. hydraulic
machines.

NOTE 2 For auto-ranging machines, the resolutionof the indicatorchanges as the resolutionor gain of the system changes.

6.2.4 Unit

The resolution, r, shall be expressed in units of force.

6.3 Prior determination of the relative resolution of the force indicator

The relative resolution, a, of the force indicator is defined by the relationship :

a=~xloo” (4)

where

r is the resolution defined in 6.2;

F is the force at the point under consideration.

The relative resolution shall be determined at each calibration point and shall not exceed the values given in Table 2
for the class of machine being verified.

6.4 Calibration procedure

6.4.1 Alignment of the force-proving instrument

Mount tension force-proving instruments in the machine in such a way as to minimize any effects of bending
(see ISO 376). For the alignment of a force-proving instrument in the compression mode, mount a platen with a
spherical seat on the instrument if the machine does not have an incorporated spherical seat.

6.4.2 Temperature compensation

The calibration shall be carried out at an ambient temperature between 10 “C and 35 “C. The temperature at which
the calibration is carried out shall be noted in the verification report.
