Study of a Watt Balance Layout with an Upper Measurement Limit of 10 Grams

  • MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The main systems and elements of the watt balance layout created at the Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology (VNIIM) as part of the “Balance” research project are described. The results of studying the characteristics of the systems and elements of the watt balance layout operated in different modes are shown. The research was performed using modern high-precision equipment and methods for processing measurement results. The main directions of further efforts for upgrading the mass metrology methods using watt balances are defined.
