Foreword
This document is drafted in accordance with GB/T 1.1-2020 "Directives for
standardization - Part 1.Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing
documents".
This document is Part 1 of GB/T 16825 "Metallic materials - Calibration and
verification of static uniaxial testing machines". GB/T 16825 has issued the following
parts.
- Part 1.Tension/compression testing machines - Calibration and verification of the
force-measuring system;
- Part 2.Tension creep testing machines - Verification of the applied force.
This document replaces GB/T 16825.1-2008 "Verification of static uniaxial testing
machines - Part 1.Tension/compression testing machines - Verification and calibration
of the force-measuring system". Compared with GB/T 16825.1-2008, in addition to
structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
- Change the scope of application of the document; add verification requirements for
the performance properties of the testing machine to reach the specified class (see
Clause 1; Clause 1 of the 2008 edition);
- Add the term "Verification" (see 3.2);
- Add definitions of symbols such as aF, aZ, bal, deltaF, deltam, deltag, E, E', k, m, qi, qal, qmax,
qmin (see Clause 4);
- Change the representation method of the resolution of numerical indicator (see
6.2.2; 6.2.2 of the 2008 edition);
- Change the determination method of relative resolution (see 6.3; 6.3 of the 2008
edition);
- Change the relevant requirements for calibration methods (see 6.4.4; 6.4.4 of the
2008 edition);
- Change the requirement for calibration below 20% of the measuring force range
(see 6.4.5; 6.4.5 of the 2008 edition);
- Change the requirements for relative indication error, relative repeatability error,
and agreement between two force-proving instruments in the assessment of force
indicator (see 6.5; 6.5 of the 2008 edition).
This document is identical to ISO 7500-1.2018 "Metallic materials - Calibration and
verification of static uniaxial testing machines - Part 1.Tension/compression testing
machines - Calibration and verification of the force-measuring system".

1 Scope
This document specifies the calibration and verification method of tension/compression
testing machines.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents, through normative references in this text,
constitute indispensable provisions of this document. Among them, for dated references,
only the edition corresponding to that date applies to this document. For undated
references, the latest edition (including all amendments) applies to this document.
ISO 376 Metallic materials - Calibration of force-proving instruments used for the
verification of uniaxial testing machines
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
Confirmation, in accordance with the provisions of this document, that the performance
properties of the testing machine achieve the limits given for a specified class.
4 Symbols
The following symbols and their meanings apply to this document (see Table 1).
5 General inspection of the testing machine
The calibration of the testing machine shall only be carried out if the machine is in good
working order. For this purpose, a general inspection of the machine shall be carried
out before calibration of the force-measuring system of the machine as indicated in
Annex A.
6 Calibration of the force-measuring system of the testing machine
The thickness of the graduation marks on the scale shall be uniform and the width of
the pointer shall be approximately equal to the width of a graduation mark.
The resolution, r, shall be expressed in units of force.
7 Class of testing machine range
Table 2 gives the maximum permissible values for the different relative errors of the
force-measuring system and for the relative resolution of the force indicator, which
characterize a testing machine range in accordance with the appropriate class.
8 Verification report
The verification report shall contain at least the following information.
The results of verification shall mention.
9 Intervals between verifications
The time between two verifications depends on the type of testing machine, the standard
of maintenance and the amount of use. Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended
that verification be carried out at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
