Diseño y construcción de celdas de carga para comprobaciones intermedias de máquinas de fuerza

Abstract

This article presents a methodology for design and manufacture of compression load cells of simple geometry and low cost, to be used to verify testing machines commonly used in civil engineering materials testing laboratories.These load cells are useful instruments for laboratories that operate under INTE ISO/IEC 17025:2005 quality systems, to determine if the testing machines are displaying correct force readings between scheduled calibrations or when the user has doubts about the results.
