Dual-function load cell calibration demonstration kit

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to design the load cell tolerance testing machine and demonstrate the tolerance of load cell with a tolerance test that has a beam length of 90 cm. It can create the compressed force at the load cell more than 1 kN The experiment cam be divided into 2 stages; 1.) verification of load range and 2.) linearity test. Both stages are tested at a temperature at 25°C using 10 to 30 kg of mass in the lowest compressed force condition of 0.091 kN and the maximum compressed force condition of 1.12kN As a result, the linearity performance of the tolerance of the load cell test kit between calculated force and displayed value force are different 0.354 percentage only while the standard deviation of displayed value force and voltage signal output are 0.0013 and 0.0022 respectively. It reveals that the experimental result is reliable because of less than 1. In addition, the tolerance of the load cell tolerance testing machine is 0.00300 (0.3 percent) which was calculated from the comparison of the tolerance specification of two main equipment that specified by manufacturer.
