BS EN ISO 376:2011

This standard BS EN ISO 376:2011 Metallic materials. Calibration of force-proving instruments used for the verification of uniaxial testing machines is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.100 Measurement of force, weight and pressure
• 77.040.10 Mechanical testing of metals

This International Standard specifies a method for the calibration of force-proving instruments used for the static verification of uniaxial testing machines (e.g. tension/compression testing machines) and describes a procedure for the classification of these instruments.

This International Standard is applicable to force-proving instruments in which the force is determined by measuring the elastic deformation of a loaded member or a quantity which is proportional to it.
