Tech/Engineering - Metrology
German term or phrase: Prüfnormal
Die Sprachrichtung muss German to English heißen.
Der Kontext lautet wie folgt:
"Die so ermittelten Prüfergebnisse erfahren dadurch eine hohe Plausibilität und durch die permanenten Kontrollen der Prüfnormalen (Waage, Referenzgeräte, Temperatur- und Drucksensoren, ...) durch die PTB eine hohe Sicherheit.

Mein Vorschlag für den Begriff lautet: flow prover system, scheint mir aber nicht treffend. Vielen Dank für Ihre Vorschläge.

standard


Explanation:
I know this simply as (comparing against a) standard, although DIN also uses etalon. The British use of etalon appears to deviate; I would be a little wary of it.

primary standard, standard


Explanation:
Ein Normal ist ein Referenzmaß, das von der PTB bereitgehalten wird. Flow prover bezieht sich auf Gasmessungen. Dies scheint hier nicht der Fall zu sein.

calibration standard


Explanation:
Ein Urnormal ist es nicht. Das Urmeter z.B. ist in Paris. Die PBT stellt ebenfalls Urmaße (z.B. die Atomzeit) bereit. Firmen, die Kalibrieren dürfen, müssen ihre Prüfmittel dort eichen lassen. Diese Kalibriermaße- und -gewichte werden dann benutzt, um die in Firmen verwendeten Meßgeräte regelmäßig zu kalibrieren.
