Description / Abstract:
This method covers the calibration of the force (or torque)
transducer and associated instrumentation of a mounted test wheel
by using a calibration platform. It is used for establishing
correction factors for changes in transducer output due to changes
in operating conditions.
This method is a static calibration, simulating the traction
force between a tire and the pavement.
In the case of a force-measuring system, the instrumentation
readout is directly proportional to the calibration force
input.
In the case of a torque-measuring system, the instrumentation
readout is a measure of the calibration force input and the
effective tire radius.
