A deadweight force standard machine is a mechanical structure that generates force by subjecting deadweights to the local gravitational field. The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) developed and installed a 100 kN deadweight force standard machine for national force standards. It can generate forces from 2 kN to 110 kN in increments of 1 kN. The uncertainty of the force machine was estimated and declared as $2\times10^{-5}$. This 100 kN deadweight force machine was compared with the 500 kN deadweight force standard machine at KRISS and the 20 kN and 50 kN deadweight force standard machines at the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). The measurement results showed good agreement between the deadweight force machines, and the accuracy level of the 100 kN deadweight force machine was verified.

This paper describes a deadweight force standard machine with the weight change mechanism which can be used as a primary force standards at a national metrology institute. Since commercial deadweight force machine can generate forces by hanging weights to the weight supporter serially, force steps from deadweight force measuring devices of each having different capacity. In order to increase the force steps, we have specially designed a weight mechanism in which the machine can select the necessary weights and generate the load by hanging the selected weights to the weight supporter. The machine can generate 속 force of the range of 2 kN to 110 kN with force step of 1 kN. All weights have been accurately compensated and calibrated by a mass comparator and its standard uncertainty is less than 2.2 ${\times}\;10^{-6}$. The relative expanded uncertainty of the machine is 1.3 ${\times}\;10^{-5}$.

분동식압력계는 정밀한 압력 측정의 기준 장비로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그것은 분동압력계가 견고하고 정확하며 이동이 간편하고 압력의 정의를 물리적으로 구현할 수 있기 때문이다. 기본적으로 분동식압력계는 분동과 피스톤/실린더 장치로 구성되며 실린더 안에 직경이 꼭 맞는 피스톤이 수직으로 삽입된 구조를 갖고 있다. 측정하려는 압력은 피스톤 아래에 작용하여 윗방향 힘을 발생시키고 피스톤 위에 얹혀 있는 분동에 의해 발생하는 아랫방향 힘과 평형을 이루게 된다. 이때 피스톤 자체의 하중은 항상 작용하므로 분동식압력계는 보통 10 kPa이상의 압력 범위에서 주로 사용된다. 기존의 방식은 피스톤 아래의 높은 압력을 기준으로 사용하지만 본 방식은 피스톤 주위의 낮은 압력을 기준압력으로 사용하여 보다 더 낮은 압력의 측정이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 효율적으로 구현한 새로운 장치를 소개하고 실제로 1.33 kPa, 13.3 kPa 두 측정범위를 갖는 정밀한 저진공 게이지(MKS, CDG)를 교정, 평가한 결과에 대해서 기술하였다.

The long-existed licence system which has acted as one of the strong barriers to entry in the ocean shipping market in Korea is supposed to repeal in the near future. As a result, competition among the different sizes of firms which are operating under regional shield by means of the licence will be intensified. The main objective of this paper is to estimate the degree of economies of scale and economies of density for various firm sizes. For the successful estimation of economies scale and economies of density, translog cost models are developed and estimated through SURE technique which was suggested by Zeller (1963). The major findings are as follows ; All shipping firms in the sample exhibit economies of scale and density. Even small size shipping firms under licence system, they show substantial economies of scale contrary to the wide-known idea that small-size firms are subject to diseconomies of scale. For the ranked firm sizes according to owned deadweight tons, the degree of economies of scale decreases as the firm sizes are larger and larger. The degree of economies of density moderately declines from the smallest to the firm size of 30-60 thousand deadweight tons and sharply rise thereafter. And the large shipping firms with over half-million deadweight tons exhibit high economies density compared to other sizes of firm. If follows that the larger firms have great advantage in competition if the licence system is abolished.

As the demand for traceable calibrations of torque measuring devices has considerably increased both in the production sector and in research institutes, suitable standard machines had to be developed at the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science. Owing to its special design, the small uncertainty of measurement required for the realization of the static torque can be reached (relative uncertainty of measurement ＆lt; 5$\times$10$^{-5}$ in the measurement range between 500 and 2000 Nm, and ＆lt; 1$\times$10$^{-4}$ in the measurement range from 10 to 500 Nm). The relative discrepancy between our torque calibration results of 2 kNm and PTB s (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany) results was less than 2$\times$10$^{-5}$ , which confirming our uncertainty estimation.

The determination of response characteristics for pressure sensors is routinely limited to static calibration against a deadweight pressure standard. The strength of this method is that the deadweight device is a primary standard used to generate precise pressure. Its weakness lies in the assumption that the static and dynamic responses of the sensor in question are equivalent. Differences in sensor response to static and dynamic events, however, can lead to serious measurement errors. Dynamic techniques are required to calibrate pressure sensors measuring dynamic events in milliseconds. In this paper, a dynamic calibration using negative going dynamic pressure is proposed to determine dynamic pressure response for piezoelectric sensors. Sensitivity and linearity of sensor by the dynamic calibration were compared with those by the static calibration. The uncertainty of calibration results and the goodness of fit test of linear regression analysis were presented. The results show that the dynamic calibration is applicable to determine dynamic pressure response for piezoelectric sensors.

Precise and accurate pressure measurements are obtained using deadweight piston gauges. Pressure distribution and elastic distortion in the piston-cylinder unit are the leading factors in determination of effective area. The distortion depends upon the pressure distribution in the clearance between piston and cylinder and those are coupled each other. Considering the viscosity pressure relation of oil and governing flow equation in the clearance, a new numerical iterative algorithm is developed. The disagreement between the monotonous and sharp pressure profiles is an indication that the pressure profile will be different for each piston and cylinder unit due to material variances.

현행 $\ulcorner$항만 및 어항 설계기준$\lrcorner$ 상 부두의 접안능력은 하기재화중량톤수를 사용하여 나타내고 있으나 접안가능 최대 선박의 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인은 재화중량톤수보다는 선박의 질량이나 길이 및 폭 등이다. 따라서 안전하고 효율적인 항만 운영을 위해 현재의 기준을 개선할 필요가 있으며, 이 연구는 합리적인 접안능력 기준을 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 부두의 적정 접안능력을 검토 하기 위하여 울산항의 3개 부두를 선정하고, 통항 및 접안 안전성과 선체동요 및 구조 안정성을 종합적으로 평가하였다. 배수톤수가 일정한 경우 선박의 크기가 다소 증가하더라도 선박조종이나 계류 및 구조 안전성에 미치는 영향은 미미하였으며, 검토 대상 선박에서는 선박의 크기에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 평가 결과 배수톤수에 차이가 없다면 20,000 DWT급 선박은 부두접안가능능력의 50%, 40,000 DWT급 선박은 25%, 그리고 150,000 DWT급 선박은 13% 정도 선박의 크기를 증가시키더라도 부두 축조시의 설계기준에 적합한 것으로 검토되었다. 따라서 항로폭, 선회장, 선석 길이 및 계류라인의 배치 등에 문제가 없다면 재화중량톤수 대신에 배수톤수를 적용하여 부두 접안가능 최대 선박을 조정할 수 있다.

Force measuring devices should be calibrated to guarantee their test results. In order to establish the force standards in Korea, deadweight machines of 5 kN, 20 kN, 100 kN and 500 kN capacity and a hydraulic force standard machine of 2 MN capacity were installed at the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS). As heavy industries in Korea have been developed, we should measure large forces over 2 MN capacity precisely in industries. We developed a 10 MN force standard machine with built-in force transducers which is more compact and cheaper than hydraulic force standard machines which have been widely used as large force standards in most national metrology laboratories. Test results reveal that the relative expanded uncertainty of the force machine is less than 4.1 $\times$ 10-4 in the range of 1 MN-4.5 MN.
