Force and Torque Department

• Maintenance of national and reference standards for quantities force and torque

• Building of standards• Comparisons for industry metrology• Education for industry metrology

After flood in 2002

• New laboratory over 3 floors• Ferroconcrete base to the ground through

building• 3 new force standards• 1 new torque standard• 1 rebuild force standard (bigger range)• 1 rebuild torque standard

Force standards

• ESZ 500 N in progress• ESZ 3 kN national standard• ESZ 20 kN reference standard• ESZ 200 kN national standard• ESZ 1 MN national standard
