Calibration of working dynamometers:
​
​Within the LEIMC, the calibration of working dynamometers classified for interpolation and only for increasing loads is carried out. Working dynamometer means the force measuring device (MMF) that includes the entire set of equipment and accessories included in the measuring chain, starting with the sensitive element and ending with the instrument for indicating the force. The calibration is performed in tension and compression in the force range: ± 200 kN.
