Metrological characterization of the Gal-Indent and Gal-Vision Measuring Systems realised by LTF for NIST (USA)

The work consists in the metrological characterization of the Gal-Indent and Gal-Vision Measuring Systems realized by LFT Spa for NIST (USA). The work described in the report was carried out in February 2008, by the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) of Italy (formerly Istituto di Metrologia "G. Colonnetti" (IMGC) of the National Research Council (CNR)) at LTF laboratory in Antegnate (BG), Italy. Metrological characterizations consist in the direct and indirect verification of the measuring system. In the direct verification, main parameters are verified; in the indirect verification, a comparison of the whole performances of measuring systems are verified through a comparison with INRIM Measuring Systems. Results have been compared with technical specifications of Measuring Systems to verify the quality of LTF realization.
