FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Use light weights to simply check whether the test force is almost correct.
(The following values are an example.)
Use a 100N weight for 1kN to 10kN load cells and a 50N weight for 100N to 500N load cells respectively to check displayed test force.

 

1. Prepare the jigs for checking test force.

2. Insert the UJ joint (2) into the hole at the bottom of the tensile joint (1) and fix it with a pin.

3. Perform E-CAL (electronic calibration).

4. Start the special software TRAPEZIUMX-V, and display the test screen for the tension test condition.

5. Press on the weight hook (3) by hand to check that the test force displayed in TRAPEZIUMX-V increases.

6. After preforming zero reset, carefully set a weight (4).

7. Check that the displayed test force is within the following allowable error range.

  Allowable Errors

    • Standard-precision unit: Within ±1% of the indicated value
    • High-precision unit: Within ±0.5% of the indicated value

  NOTE: If the weight to be set is not supported by the load cell, compare the displayed value with that of the previous check to check that the errors do not greatly vary.
