Standard on which the calibration procedure is based, detailed regulations can be found in the international ISO 376:2011 standard
The ISO 376:2011 standard allows calibration without the measurement series with decreasing force. The text is adapted in this case: R4' and R6' are omitted, the second rotation occurs after series R3. In this case, however, usage will only be permitted with increasing forces later.

Expanded measurement uncertainty for case D, calculated according to Annex C.1 of ISO 376:2011.
As per ISO 376, the combined standard measurement uncertainty has to be graphically represented over the force and a curve fit using the method of least squares needs to be made. Since the calculated values are smaller than the minimum combined standard measurement uncertainty, the equation is adapted until all values are greater than the smallest measurement uncertainty. The measurement uncertainties specified for case C and case D in the calibration certificate were calculated using the equation given here. This enables an expanded uncertainty to be calculated for any force within the calibration range.

Interpolation equation and its coefficients for calculating the force signal in Newton, as a function of the transducer's electrical output signal. These values can be entered into the ML38B for adaptation.
For compliance with the standard, creep has to be taken into account when calculating the measurement uncertainties, however, in the application, the influence of hysteresis needs to be considered in addition (Annex C.2.4 of ISO 376). For this reason, HBM provides this additional information for calculation of the measurement uncertainty including the influence of hysteresis. This measurement uncertainty can be used analogously to the values of previous calibration certificates per DIN EN ISO 376:2005 for further calculation of the measurement uncertainties in the application.

As per ISO 376, the combined standard measurement uncertainty has to be graphically represented over the force and a curve fit using the method of least squares needs to be made. Since the calculated values are smaller than the minimum combined standard measurement uncertainty, the equation is adapted until all values are greater than the smallest measurement uncertainty. The equation given here is used for calculating the measurement uncertainty WZ provided as additional information in the calibration certificate. This enables an expanded uncertainty to be calculated for any force within the calibration range.
