TERMINOLOGY
Explanation
Strain gauge
Calibrated measuring range
Combined errors for linearity and hysteresis
Delta of signal curve to straight line "zero point - FS"
Delta of signal curve "load/relief"
Dispersion of signal for multiple measurements
Metric ton: 1t = 9.81kN
American ton: 1 US-tons = 1.1023t
1 µε = strain of 1µm/m
