MAN - BBR3 - REV: Original | E. Operation
iii. If the measurements do not fall within these ranges, standardization is required. Press the “Standardization
Required” button and press “Next” to move to the next section.
b. Verify the Test Load
i. Place the non-compliant beam on the sample supports.
ii. Apply 20mN ±10mN load using the zero load regulator.
iii. Add 100g mass to the weight pan.
iv. If the increase in measured load falls within 981mN ±5mN press the “Verification Complete” button and
then press the “Next” button to move to the next section.
v. If the increase in measure does not fall within 981mN ±5mN press the “Standardization Required” button
and then “Next”.
7. Verify the System
a. Ensure the load frame is in the bath.
b. Place Confidence Beam on the sample supports.
c. Apply 100g mass to the weight pan.
d. Press “Record”.
e. Apply the second 100g mass to the weight pan and
press “Record”.
f. The modulus reported should be within 10% of the
modulus of the Confidence Beam, as listed on the
verification conformance form.
g. If the measurement is within 10% press “OK” then the “Verification Complete” button.
h. If the measurement is more than 10% press “OK” and then the “Standardization Required” button.
i. Press the “Next” button to move on to the next section.
8. Verifying the RTD
a. You will need a partial submersion calibrated reference thermometer suitable to ASTM 133C.
b. With the load frame in the bath, immerse the calibrated reference thermometer into the bath close to the RTD.
c. Compare the measured system temperature to the reference thermometer
d. If the temperatures differ more than ±0.1⁰C, press the “Standardization Required” button and then press “Next”.
e. If the observed temperatures are within ±0.1⁰C press the “Verification Complete” button and then press “Next”.
9. Verifying the Load Shaft Alignment
