Significance and Use4.1 Testing machines that apply and mea
28、sure displacementare used in many industries. They may be used in researchlaboratories to determine material properties, and in productionlines to qualify products for shipment. The displacementmeasuring devices integral to the testing machines may be usedfor measurement of crosshead or actuator dis
29、placement over adefined range of operation. The accuracy of the displacementvalue shall be traceable to the National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST) or another recognized National Labo-ratory. Practices E2309 provides a procedure to verify thesemachines and systems, in order that the mea
30、sured displacementvalues may be traceable. A key element to having traceabilityis that the devices used in the verification produce knowndisplacement characteristics, and have been calibrated in ac-cordance with adequate calibration standards.5. Calibration Devices5.1 Reference standards used for ca
31、libration and or verifi-cation of displacement measuring systems shall have estimatedmeasurement uncertainties. The reported uncertainty of refer-ence standards must be equal to or less than13 the allowableerror for the measuring system Classification as shown in TableTABLE 1 Classification of Displ

The estimated measurement uncertainty of the referencestandard should have a confidence level of 95 % (k = 2).6. System Verification6.1 Displacement measuring systems shall be verified as asystem with th
34、e displacement sensing and measuring devices(see 1.2 and 1.4) in place and operating as in actual use.6.2 System verification is invalid if the displacement sens-ing devices are removed and checked independently of thetesting machine.6.3 A Practices E2309 verification consists of at least twoverific
35、ation runs of displacement contained in the displacementrange(s) selected. See 8.1 and 8.2.6.3.1 If the initial verification run produces values withinthe Practices E2309 requirements of Section 15, the data maybe used “as found” for run one of the two required for the newverification report.6.3.2 I
36、f the initial verification run produces any valueswhich are outside of the Practices E2309 requirements, the “asfound” data may be reported and may be used in accordancewith applicable quality control programs.6.3.3 Calibration adjustments may be made to improve theaccuracy of the system. They shall
37、 be followed by the tworequired verification runs, and issuance of a new verificationreport.7. Application of Displacement7.1 In the verification of the displacement measuring sys-tem, approach the displacement test value by applying the testdisplacement from a lower value of displacement. To reduce
38、the error in displacement measurement due to internal backlashof the testing machine, associated fixtures and or apparatus,make sure to approach the starting zero position of the testingmachine from a point less than zero and in the direction forwhich the resultant verification data will be acquired
39、. Thisprocedure shall be followed when acquiring descending veri-fication data as well. When acquiring descending verificationdata apply a displacement greater than the starting point andadjust the testing machine to re-establish a starting zeroposition in the direction for which verification data i
40、s to beacquired.7.2 Displacement measuring systems that are used to ac-quire test data in both ascending and descending directions,shall be verified in both directions.8. Selection of Verification Displacement Values8.1 For any displacement range, verify the displacementmeasuring system by applying
41、at least five test displacementvalues, at least two times, with the difference between any twosuccessive displacement value applications being no largerthan one-third the difference between the selected maximumand minimum test displacement values. Applied displacementvalues on the second run are to
42、be approximately the same asthose on the first run. Report all values.8.2 The low limit of displacement measurement must beequal to or greater than:400 times the resolution for Class A200 times the resolution for Class B100 times the resolution for Class C67 times the resolution for Class D8.2.1 Whe
43、re the resolution of the displacement measuringsystem is sufficient to allow for verification below 10 % ofdisplacement capacity or range, verify the displacement rangeby applying at least two successive series of displacementvalues, arranged in overlapping decade groups, such that themaximum displa
44、cement value in one decade is the minimumdisplacement value in the next higher decade. Starting with theselected minimal displacement value in each decade, there areto be at least five displacement applications, in an approximateratio of 1:1, 2.5:1, 5:1, 7.5:1, and 10:1, unless the maximumdisplaceme
45、nt value is reached prior to completing all displace-ment application ratios. Report all displacement values andtheir percent errors.NOTE 1Example: If full scale is 200 mm 8 in. and the minimalresolution is 0.025 mm 0.001 mm, the minimum verified displacementwould be 5 mm (0.025 3 200). Two decades
46、of 20 and 200 mm could beselected to cover the displacement application range. Suitable verificationtest displacement values would then be approximately 5, 10, 15, 20, 50,100, 150, 200 mm. The largest reported error of the two sets of the testruns is the maximum error for the displacement range.9. P
47、reliminary Procedure9.1 Alignment:9.1.1 When fixturing the calibration device, it is importantto minimize any misalignment. Significant errors can beinduced due to misalignment. Gauge blocks or a square may beused to ensure that the calibration device operates parallel tothe actuator in hydraulic te
48、sting machines or perpendicular tothe crosshead in electro-mechanical testing machines.9.2 Temperature Considerations:9.2.1 Where the displacement measuring systems are elec-trical, connect the displacement transducer, indicator, interface,etc. using the appropriate cabling used in the actual machin
49、esetup. Turn on power and allow the components to warm up fora period of time recommended by the manufacturer. In theabsence of any recommendations, allow at least 15 min for thecomponents to be energized.9.2.2 Position a temperature measuring device in closeproximity to the machine being verified. Allow the displace-ment measuring device and all relevant parts of the verificationequipment to reach thermal stability.9.2.3 Include any bias due to temperature effects in theexpanded uncertainty statement associated with the ve
