Improvement of the Weighing Accuracy of a 50 Kg Beam Balance

  • Chapter
Mechanical Problems in Measuring Force and Mass

Part of the book series: ITC Series No. 8 ((ITCS,volume 3))

Abstract

Even today, beam balances are best suited for mass comparisons of the highest accuracy. Prototype balances used for 1 kg weights achieve relative standard deviations of 3·10−10 (1).
