Conclusions
The proposed method can be used to obtain a uniform scale for practically any functional relationshipα=f (x) and also when it is necessary to expand the scale at the extreme sections of the scale. Changing the character of the scale by this method requires almost no changes in the construction of the measuring mechanism. Using the method of deforming the character of the scale and selecting the dial profile, it is possible to obtain a uniform scale with Kn≈1.3. This greatly simplifies the production of instrument scales.
