Test Process that measures the Force as defined as mass times acceleration (F = m * a). The formula describes a free mass or the net force on any mass. Dead-weight force measurements depend on true mass, specific location’s influences, such as local gravity, air buoyancy, and material density are often needed. Equal but opposite forces counteract to cancel any net motion or acceleration, but result in a deformation of the objects which can be measured.
This test process is typically used to calibrate devices like primary deadweight standards and transfer standards.
When measuring the mass of a physical object See TestProcess.Measure.Mass.True
