AS 2193:2005 (R2017) PDF Download

For the calibration and categorization of force-measuring equipment and systems, the AS 2193:2005 (R2017) standard lays out the necessary requirements and steps. Various force-measuring systems used to test materials, components, products, and assemblies are covered by the standard.

The standard addresses three key topics. The categorization requirements for force-measuring systems and testing equipment are first described. This makes it possible to guarantee that these systems adhere to the standards and degrees of accuracy required for force measurement. Second, it offers instructions for calibrating force-measuring systems, which entails figuring out their precision and performance traits. The standard also outlines the criteria for the categorization and calibration of working force standards, which are used to confirm the precision of force-measuring devices.

Additional annotations and references are included in the standard as well. It makes reference to AS 1545, which specifies the conditions under which extensometers can be used in tandem with tension and compression testing equipment. Additionally, Appendix A of the standard offers guidance and suggestions that assist users in assembling the facts they need for the calibration procedure.

Note that the AS 2193 standard is applicable to force-measuring devices that display force in newtons (the SI unit of force) or other arbitrary units. AS/NZS 1376 should be consulted in order to comprehend the relationship between newtons and technical units of force.
