DESCRIPTION Sound engineering and laboratory practices require that the instrumentation used to make critical strain measurements be periodically calibrated to verify that it is within the manufacturer's original specifications. Additionally, each type of strain indicator exhibits some degree of nonlinearity, especially for large strains during quarter-bridge operation. Since this is the most common stress analysis application of strain gages, it is important that the strain indicator be calibrated in this mode. Instrumentation span should also be checked at a number of points before each important test to avoid inaccurate data. The Model 1550A calibrator is a Wheatstone bridge and generates a true change of resistance in one or two arms of the bridge. It simulates the actual behavior of a strain gage in both positive and negative strain. The `star network' used in certain other commercial calibrators provides a substantially lower cost instrument design, because component specifications are less critical, and fewer components are required. However, the `star network' cannot simulate quarter-bridge strain gage behavior, and cannot simulate positive strain. Another serious problem with this circuit is that the bridge input and output resistances change in an abnormal manner, leading to inaccuracies in calibration under some conditions. A calibrator based on the Wheatstone bridge principle requires stable components. A total of 66 ultra-stable Vishay precision resistors are used in the Model 1550A calibrator to provide the stability, repeatability, accuracy and incremental steps required in a laboratory standards instrument.
