Abstract
In this paper, the weight tare calculation method including translation of initial loads is proposed to remove the internal balance component readings due to model weight. If the balance calibration equations are applied directly to the wind-on data without taking account these initial loads, then incorrect data will be obtained for all wind-on data calculations. The calculated model weights were compared with the actual model weights to verify the reliability of the proposed calculation technique. Also, discussions of the effects of the initial loads are given.
