Hybrid torque standard machine for 1 kN·m developed in CENAM

• Abstract:

  The torque laboratory at the Centro Nacional de Metrología in Mexico (CENAM) started operations in 1997 with the design, built up and set up of a torque transfer standard machine for 2 kN·m (TTSM-2kN·m). Since that time, a total of five torque standards have been developed at CENAM. Two of them realize the quantity via the primary method (dead weights applied in a lever arm of a well known length) in the measuring ranges of 2 kN·m and 1 kN·m. The other three transfer standard machines are in the ranges from 20 N·m and 2 kN·m, and the last one is a TTS machine which is in the set up stage, with a range up to 20 kN·m.
  This paper gives general information about the design, build up and set up of the torque standard machine up to 1 kN·m which has a dual function, this is, realizing the quantity with a primary torque standard method (PTSMe) and/or disseminating it with a torque transfer standard method (TTSMe); depending on the type of calibration one wishes to perform.
