NCSLI Michigan Section Meeting (1135)

Tuesday, November 7, 2017
Please Join Us!

Meeting Overview:
The NCSL International section meetings give Colleagues in the field of science measurement a chance to come together to share ideals, processes and expert skills that are utilized in our daily lives.  In this section meeting we will discuss new ways of utilizing Metrology software, load cells & how their design and the dos and don'ts when using them and we venture into the discussion of torque angle calibration, what is it and how can we measure it.

Speakers:
Topic: How to Select the Right Load Cell
Speaker: Grant Shaffer, Interface Advance Force Measurement

  1. How a load cell works
    a. Wheatstone bridge detail
    b. tension/compression detail
  2. How a load cell is constructed
    a. Pictorial of each basic design (animated power point pictures)
    b. Low profile, column, beam, miniatures, etc
  3. Load cell selection criteria
    a. Electrical-excitation, output
    b. Mechanical-size restrictions, fixtures
    c. Performance/accuracy
    d. Environmental – electrical noise, moisture, lightning, etc
    e. Capacity-working range, expected overload, extraneous load
    f. Fatigue- number & frequency of cycles
  4. Pitfalls of load cell applications
    a. Shock loads
    b. Off axis loading
    c. Improper mounting
    d. Environmental concerns
Topic: Systems of Systems-Software Design for Metrology
Speaker: Michael Schwartz, Cal Lab Solutions

Abstract:
We have been doing automation wrong for 30 years!  This is a revolutionary way of rethinking how we Design & Build Metrology Software. MET/CAL®, LabView®, SureCal®, VB.NET®, C# and Java can all be used as we build the future of Metrology.

Topic: Creating a Machine Readable SoA Speaker: Michael Schwartz, Cal Lab Solutions

Abstract:
Will give a brief overview of the team progress of creating a standardized schema for representing ISO/IEC 17025 Scope of Accreditations in XML data and bringing the vision presented in the paper into fruition as a component of a Measurement Information Infrastructure (MII) initiative.

Topic: Torque Angle Calibration
Speaker: Martin Schatz, Kistler Instruments
