TITLE:
ComTraForce - Comprehensive traceability for force metrology services
DESCRIPTION:
EMPIR ComTraForce, project number 18SIB08
Internationally competitive high-tech products using highly efficient materials including carbon fibre, high tensile steel and concrete are present across the industy, from automotive, healthcare and construction sectors. In order to cover many different force measurement applications and to develop suitable calibration methods, for these applications, the project will develop methods and transfer standards for static, continuous and dynamic force calibration traceable to the SI in the range of 1 N to 1 MN, where currently, calibration for material testing is done statically and does not only disregard time and frequency influences but also lacks traceability. In accordance with the requirements of industry 4.0, force measuring devices will be developed and described by extended theoretical models which will result in digital replicas. Objectives: The overall aim of the project is to provide calibration services, in the field of mechanical and material testing, with the methods and guidelines needed for comprehensive traceability of static, continuous and dynamic force measurements.
