Covers the calibration of force proving instruments used for the static verification of uniaxial testing machines and describes a procedure for classifying these instruments. Generally applies to force proving instruments in which the force is determined by measuring the elastic deformation of a loaded member or a quantity that is proportional to it. Also gives detailed tables and diagrams.
