14、 aluminium alloys 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard the following definitions apply : 3.1 Master reference standards A set of electrical conductivity reference standards, held by a National Standards Laboratory or an Accredited Laboratory and traceable to electrical reference standards

15、. This set is maintained as the reference standard against which all the corresponding secondary reference blocks shall be calibrated. 3.2 Secondary reference blocks Sets of electrical conductivity reference blocks calibrated by a National Standards Laboratory or an Accredited Laboratory against its

16、 master reference standards using eddy current conductivity measuring equipment. Individual companies or organisations may hold sets of secondary reference blocks. These blocks are the means by which traceability to the master reference standards is maintained. 3.3 Operating reference blocks Sets of

17、 electrical conductivity reference blocks prepared and calibrated by competent personnel against secondary reference blocks using eddy current conductivity measuring equipment. The operating reference blocks are used for routine instrument calibration. Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeu

19、e standards shall be taken from wrought material of an appropriate electrical conductivity, in a stable metallurgical condition and whose electrical conductivity homogeneity at the surface and through the thickness has been verified (see 4.3). The surface roughness shall not exceed a value of Ra = 1

20、,6 pm. 4.2 Calibration shall be carried out at a temperature of 20 OC f 2 OC, using a method which ensures traceability to electrical standards. The result shall be normalized to a temperature of 20,oo OC. 4.3 All appropriate precautions shall be taken to ensure that variations of electrical conduct

21、ivity (measured by an eddy current method) at the surface of any standard do not exceed 0,05 MS/m, and that variations associated with a frequency change over a range of 1 O kHz to 1 O0 kHz do not exceed 0,05 MS/m. 5 Production and calibration of secondary reference blocks 5.1 The secondary referenc

22、e blocks shall be taken from wrought material of an appropriate electrical conductivity, in a stable metallurgical condition and whose homogeneity at the surface and through the thickness has been verified. They shall preferably be taken from the same material as that used to produce the master refe

23、rence standards. The surface roughness shall not exceed a value of Ra = 1,6 pm. 5.2 The secondary reference blocks shall consist of square or circular samples with a thickness of at least 4 mm and sides or diameter of at least 30 mm. However, the dimensions shall be large enough compared with the pr

24、obe area in order to avoid edge effects. 5.3 The secondary reference blocks shall be calibrated against master reference standards using properly calibrated eddy current conductivity measuring equipment. The calibration shall be performed at 20 OC f 2 OC using the normalized conductivity value of th

25、e master reference standards for comparison. The values shall be normalised to a temperature of 20,OO OC. The secondary reference blocks shall be calibrated at a frequency, within the calibrated range of the master reference standards, as required by the purchaser of these blocks (usually 60 kHz). 5

26、.4 The secondary reference blocks shall be available as a set of at least four blocks of electrical conductivity values covering the whole range required for the calibration of operating reference blocks. Additional blocks may be required to ensure a finer coverage of some frequently used ranges. 5.

27、5 When the secondary reference blocks are anodised for protection (anodised layer between 10 pm and 15 pm on aluminium alloy blocks) the corresponding lift-off effect shall be taken into account and appropriate means devised to compensate for it when calibrating against the master reference standard

28、s. 5.6 The secondary reference blocks shall be supplied together with a certificate of measurement issued by a National Standards Laboratory or an Accredited Laboratory stating the electrical conductivity values registered in MS/m, the test frequency used and the temperature at which the values have

29、 been normalized. The maximum overall uncertainty (at 95 % confidence limit) of the stated electrical conductivity values shall not exceed f 0,7 %.

31、tine calibration of conductivity measuring equipments. The surface roughness shall not exceed a value of Ra = 1,6 pm. 6.2 The operating reference blocks shall normally be taken from wrought material of an appropriate electrical conductivity, in a stable metallurgical condition and whose uniformity o

32、f electrical conductivity over the surface has been verified. The material chosen shall exhibit no permanent change in electrical conductivity values as a result of storage or operating conditions. They shall be of such shape, size and finish that inaccuracies due to edge-effect and lift-off are avo

33、ided with the particular instrument to be calibrated. Their thickness shall be appropriate for the intended test frequency (see EN 2004-1). 6.3 The calibration of operating reference blocks shall be carried out by comparison against a set of secondary reference blocks. The calibration shall be carri

34、ed out at the same frequency as that intended for routine testing (usually at a frequency of 60 kHz). 6.4 The calibration of the operating reference blocks shall be carried out using the following method : - measurements shall be carried in a temperature-controlled environment at 20 OC I 2 OC; the a

35、ctual temperature variation during this calibration shall be within k 0,5 OC. - an eddy current, comparison type conductivity meter operating at the required frequency shall be used (see 6.31, - sufficient time shall be allowed for the operating and secondary reference blocks, the eddy current condu

36、ctivity meter and the probe to reach ambient temperature (unnecessary handling of the blocks shall be avoided), - using the eddy current electrical conductivity meter, record the indicated values for a set of secondary reference blocks. The meter reading shall indicate the certified value k 0,2 MS/m

37、 or k 0,3 % IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). If this is not the case then the eddy current electrical conductivity meter shall not be used for calibration of operating reference blocks 1). 1) Non linear interpolation techniques may be used to compensate for a non linear response of the
