This research was motivated by technical-economic challenges imposed by mass metrology, specifically, in matters concerning calibration methods of non-automatic type weighing instruments ( i.e. : digital scales). In order to contextualize the problem detected, in the industry there are different processes of mass measurement that are controlled by digital scales, such as: mass of liquids, chemicals, food, body mass of a person. In these processes, the scale is used in the following four conditions for mass measurement: (i) ascending and descending load, returned to zero; (ii) ascending and descending load, without the need to return to zero; (iii) only with ascending load and (iv) only with descending load. In this context and, maintaining the principles for the calibration of a measurement instrument in which it must be carried out under the same operating conditions as the instrument, metrology laboratories must knowing the metrological reliability ( i.e. : errors and uncertainties) for each situation. This is exactly the main motivation for the development of the research. Thus, the experimental data obtained in a research laboratory under controlled environmental conditions allowed obtaining a minimum expanded uncertainty associated with the mass measurement of 0.0012 kg ( k =2; confidence level: 95%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
