Annex to Decree No. 70 / 2004 Coll.
1 TERMINOLOGY
1.1. Tearing machines are test machines for mechanical testing of material for which the test sample of material is loaded with a static acting single axis force during tensile loading.
1.2. Test presses are test machines for mechanical testing of material where the test sample of material is loaded with a static single axis force at pressure loading.
1.3. Verification of the test machine is a procedure to detect its properties. It consists of a general assessment of the test machine and verification of the force measuring system.
1.4. A general assessment of the test machine is the procedure to be carried out before the test machine's measuring system is checked.
1.5. Verification of the test machine is a set of activities which, under the specified conditions, establish the relationship between the values indicated by the test machine force measurement system and the reference values to be determined by an etalon load gauge.
1.6. The measuring device of the test machine force is the sum of the devices used to determine the value of the test force applied to the sample. It consists of a scanning and indicating device. In principle, three basic measuring systems are identified. Mechanical measuring system, hydraulic measuring system and electromechanical measuring system.
1.6.1. The mechanical measuring system operates on a mechanical principle. The force applied to the sample shall be compensated by the force of the spring or by the load-bearing mass placed on the lever of the lever. The indication device is exclusively analogue with a linear, circular or arc scale.
1.6.2. The hydraulic measuring system is based on measuring the oil pressure in the cylinder of the loading system. The indicator device is usually a piston or deformation manometer. This manometer is adapted for the design of the test machine.
1.6.3. The electromechanical measuring system is based on direct measurement of the test force by a tensimetric force sensor or on the measurement of oil pressure in the cylinder of the load system by a tensimetric pressure sensor. The sensor output signal is amplified and converted into a digital form. The indication of the test result can be performed here in many ways. From the output of the power value on an analogue or digital scale in the form of a force value, to the output of the recorder in the form of a voltage dependent diagram on the extension to the complex output of the material on the computer printer with the storage of values in the computer memory.
1.7. The load equipment of the test machine is used to derive the test force applied to the sample. Two basic types of loading equipment are used for test machines. Mechanical and hydraulic loading devices.
1.8. The test machine frame is usually a structure in which the test machine loading system and the reading part of the force measuring system are located.
2 REQUIREMENTS FOR TEST MACHINERY

4.2 Verification of test machine strength measurement system
4.2.1 General
The verification shall be carried out for each force range used and with all force indicators used. Each accessory (e.g. indicator, recorder, if applicable) which may influence the force measurement system shall be tested in accordance with clause 4.2.3.6.
If the test machine has several force measurement systems, each system shall be considered a separate test machine. The same procedure shall be used for two-piston hydraulic machines.
Verification shall be carried out with the following exceptions: If the tensile force of the shredding machines to be verified is less than 200 N, an etalon load vessel may be used.
If more than one force cell is to be used to verify the force line, then the maximum force used for the lower force cell shall be the same as the minimum force used for the higher force cell. When an etalon load cell set is used to verify forces, this set shall be considered as one etalon gauge.
The verification shall preferably be performed for constant values of indicated forces, Fi. If this method is impracticable, the verification shall be performed for constant values of actual forces. The verification is carried out at a slowly increasing force.
The statistics used for the verification shall have a valid calibration sheet. The requirements for etalones are set out in Section 2.1.2.
4.2.2 Determination of differentiability
4.2.2.1 Analog scale
The differentiability of r of the indicator is determined from the ratio between the width of the indicator and the distance between the midpoints of the two adjacent marks of the analogue scale (value of the piece). The recommended ratios are 1: 2, 1: 5 or 1: 10, for the estimation of one tenth of the part of the analog scale, a length of 2,5 mm or more is required.
4.2.2.2 Numerical scale
The smallest change in the data shown by the digital indicator is considered to be distinguishable, provided that the test machine is unloaded, the engines and the control system are functional and the indicator does not fluctuate by more than one increment.
4.2.2.3. Intermediate reading
If the reading data changes by more than the previously calculated value of differentiability, the differentiability r shall be considered equal to one half of the range of variations plus one increment.
This only defines the differentiability caused by the failure of the measurement system and does not take into account the errors of the control system, i.e. the hydraulic machine.
For the automatic ranges of test machines, changes in indicators shall be decided by differentiability or by achieving a change in the measurement system.
4.2.2.4. Unit of differentiability
Differentiability r, must be expressed in units of force.
4.2.2.5 Determination of the relative resolution of the indicator device
Relative differentiability a, indicator device is defined by:

a = rF · 100,
where r is the differentiability in units of force
F is the force at the measured point.
This relative differentiability shall be determined at each verification point and shall not exceed the values given in Table 1 for the class of test machine tested.
4.2.3. Test procedure
4.2.3.1. Etalon load gauge compatibility
Balancing minimises any bending effects when loading on an etalon load meter in the test machine. If the test machine does not have an integral ball area, attach the top plate with the ball joint to the etalon load-meter to compensate for the etalon load-meter.
4.2.3.2 Temperature compensation
The verification shall be carried out at an ambient temperature between 10 ° C and 35 ° C. This temperature shall be recorded in the certificate.
An etalon load gauge shall be provided for a sufficient period of time to balance the temperature. The temperature of the etalon load cell shall remain stable within ± 2 ° C during each verification cycle. If necessary, the data shall be heat corrected.
4.2.3.3. Pre-loading in the test machine
The test machine, with an etalon load gauge in the test position, shall be at least three times loaded from zero to the maximum measured force.
4.2.3.4. Verification procedure
The following method is usually used: the force of Fi, given by the indicator device, is set on the test machine and the actual force F given by the etalon force gauge shall be recorded.
If this method cannot be used, the actual force The F-meter shall be set on the test machine and the Fi force indicated by the indicator device of the verified machine shall be recorded.
4.2.3.5 Application of individual forces
Three series of loading measurements shall be carried out. For test machines tested at no more than five points of the force scale, no relative error value shall exceed the values given in Table 1 for certain classes. For test machines verified at more than five points of the force scale, each series of measurements shall contain at least five individual forces evenly distributed between 20% and 100% of the maximum scale force.
If the verification is carried out for forces below 20% of the maximum force of the range, a measurement of the force shall be made at approximately 10%, 5%, 2%, 1%, 0,5%, 0,2% and 0,1% from the lower range of force, including the lower limit of the verified range.
The lower limit of the measuring range is defined by the multiple differentiability r:
(a) 400 for class 0,5;
(b) 200 for Class 1;
(c) 100 for Class 2; and
(d) 67 for Class 3.
Before each series of measurements, the etalon load gauge may be rotated by an angle of 120 ° and measured at the preliminary load.
The arithmetic mean of the values obtained for each series of measurements shall be calculated for each individual force. The relative accuracy error and the relative repeatability error of the test machine measuring system shall be calculated from these mean values.
The reading indicator shall be adjusted to zero before each series of measurements. Zero must be deducted approximately 30 seconds after complete relief. In the case of an analogue indicator device, it shall also be checked whether the indicator is freely rocking around zero and, if a digital indicator device is used, that every drop below zero, such as the indicator sign (+ or -), is immediately reported.
The relative zero error shall be calculated for each series of measurements according to the following equation:

f0 = Fi0FN · 100.
4.2.3.6 Verification of accessories
The good operating condition and friction resistance of mechanical accessories (indicator, recorder) shall be checked by one of the following methods depending on whether the machine is commonly used with or without accessories:
(a) Test machine normally used with accessories: three series of measurements shall be made with increasing force (see clause 4.2.3.5) with attached accessories for each force range used and one additional series of measurements without accessories for the smallest range used.
(b) Test machine normally used without accessories: three series of measurements shall be made with increasing force (see clause 4.2.3.5) with disconnected accessories for each measuring range used and one additional series of measurements with attached accessories for the smallest range used.
In both cases, a relative error of accuracy q, for three series of measurements, and a relative error of repeatability b, shall be calculated from four series. The values obtained shall correspond to the values in Table 1 for the class under consideration and the following additional conditions shall be met:
for verification with - constant declared force:

100 · Fi-FcFc ≤ 1,5 · q
for a constant actual force verification:

100 · Fic-FF ≤ 1,5 · q
The value q in the equation is the maximum permissible value given in Table 1 for the class considered.
4.2.3.7 Verification of the influence of different position of the plunger
For hydraulic test machines where the hydraulic drive pressure is used to measure the test force, the influence of different piston positions for the smallest measuring range of the machine used during three series of measurements shall be checked. The position of the plunger shall be different for each series of measurements.
In the case of a two-piston hydraulic test machine, it is necessary to take into account both pistons.
4.2.3.8 Determination of the relative reverse error
If a relative error of reversing is required in, it shall be determined by checking the same individual forces, first when loaded and then when relieved. In this case, the test machine shall also be verified for relief.
The difference between the values obtained during loading and the relief allows to calculate the relative error of the reverse operation using the following equation:

v = F '-FF ^ · 100
or, in the case of a specific verification carried out by constant actual force:

v = F'i-FIF · 100.
The test shall be carried out for the smallest and greatest range of test machine strength.
