Abstract
In this paper, an automatic calibration device for multi-channel resistance strain gauge indicator is designed and its applicability and measurement accuracy are verified at laboratory. The calibration done by original resistance bridge calibrator is time-consuming for its manual operation and complex calibration process. With the intent to increase calibration efficiency, an automatic channel switch device was developed, and the resistance bridge calibrator was automated. The designed calibration device is completely computer controlled enabling a sequence of unmanned measurements. The calibration device was verified at laboratory that the maximum of error is 0.072%. It was applied to calibrate a 60-channel resistance strain gage indicator to approve its practical applicability. The result shows that the designed calibration device can realize automatic calibration and the efficiency is increased by 40%.
