Force Standards Bilateral Comparison Between NMISA (South Africa) and CENAM (Mexico)

• Abstract:

  This paper details a force bilateral comparison between the National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA) and Centro Nacional de Metrologia (CENAM, Mexico). A single 50 kN Force Transducer was used as the artefact. Measurements were conducted in compression mode in the range of 10 kN to 50 kN. The characteristics of the two standard machines used and the procedure of the comparison are briefly discussed. The values of measurements and the associated uncertainties for each laboratory are reported as well as the degree of equivalence between the two national force laboratories.
